Tesla Website Updates: Best Q2 Discounts Up to $3K Off Model 3 & Y + More EV News
Hey everyone, Dennis here from DennisCW. Welcome back! If you're in the market for a Tesla, now's a fantastic time—especially as we hit the second month of Q2. Tesla's website has some fresh updates, including killer inventory discounts up to $3,000 off on Model 3 and Model Y. I'll break it all down, plus cover Rivian deals, Tesla Semi rebates, and more. Let's dive in!
New Tesla Website Features
Tesla just rolled out a model comparison page—super handy for pitting Model 3 (sedan) against Model Y (SUV) and even Cybertruck. You can filter by performance, AWD, see pricing, features, and estimated payments. They also added inventory filters for performance models, making it easier to spot deals in your area.
No new incentives yet (as of May 1st), but keep an eye out—updates often drop early week to boost weekend sales.
Hottest Tesla Inventory Discounts Right Now
Inventory is loaded with demos and low-mileage gems. Here's the best I've found:
- Model 3 Performance: Up to $2,920 off (stackable!)
- Model 3 Long Range AWD: $2,410 off
- Model Y (new refresh w/ black headliner & 16" screen): $2,220 off
- Model Y Launch Series: $2,590 off on base models
- Standard Model Y: Around $2,000 off
These are on vehicles with minimal miles (e.g., 631 on one Model Y). Pro tip: Visit a Tesla store, test drive, and ask a sales rep to hunt for hidden inventory—they often find extras not listed online.
Stack for Maximum Savings
Layer these on:
- America's Heroes discount: Extra $500 off (military, teachers, first responders, etc.)
- Tesla Referral Code: Use mine in the description/video for 0-0.99% APR financing + 3 months free Full Self-Driving.
Total? Easily $3K+ off a new(ish) Tesla!

Rivian Drops Lease Prices—R2 Incoming?
Rivian isn't sleeping: R1T and R1S leases now start at $799/mo (down $100 from $899). This screams prep for the R2, possibly $699/mo base. Loyal owners get first dibs. Great deals, but Tesla still edges on value.
BMW X3 leases at $599? Solid, but gas guzzler—no contest for EVs.
Tesla Semi: $175K Rebate in Washington!
Wild: Washington's new rebate slashes Tesla Semi prices by 60% ($175K off)! Plus, Tesla unveiled a 125kW Semi charger ($40K for base units) for overnight fleet charging. Production is ramping—trucks are coming.
New Semi configurator on Tesla's site lets you build fleets (up to $9M in chargers? Epic scale).
Other Tesla Highlights
- Tesla Insurance Perks: Up to $3K for charger damage, $500 lost key fobs, Autopilot incident coverage (fact-check your policy).
- Cybertruck Sales to Elon's Cos: Tesla sold $573M in products to SpaceX/xAI last year, including ~$143M (1,500+ Cybertrucks) to clear inventory. Demand's rebounding now!
