Tesla has announced a number of new Model 3 deals that are supposed to run for a limited time, but there is no deadline set in the fine print.
The 0% APR financing deal on the Model 3 sedan from last quarter is back, and leases start from $299/month. The zero interest rate financing of the Model 3 comes for terms up to 60 months and only asks for a 5% down payment to which buyers can apply their federal $7,500 tax credit, if eligible.
Said tax credit expires on September 30, so Tesla is evidently coming out guns blazing with deals and promos to turn flailing demand around as soon as the current quarter, before the government nixes all EV subsidies.
On the road to its Robotaxi ride-share platform expansion to current owners, Tesla has also found a way to entice Model 3 buyers to get the FSD option. It is providing the 0% APR financing rate only with FSD purchase or transfer from the previous vehicle they had. The interest rate is otherwise the still low 2.49%, or the same that Tesla is currently running a promo on the Model Y for.
Given that most Tesla fans are now buying the new 2026 Model Y, rather than the Model 3, Tesla is stacking another enticing perk on top of the financing deal. Free Supercharging for the first 18 months after purchase await those who got a Model 3 on July 17 or after, which could be quite the chunk of change, depending on the driving habits of the owner.
The terms are even more generous than the same offer Tesla started in Canada a few weeks back, which only gives Canadian customers a year of free Supercharging.
To top it all off, Tesla is now giving the same free option upgrade on an inventory Model 3 that it has set for the Model Y. The Model 3 units in its inventory list now come with one upgrade option gratis, be it a free color, or a larger wheel set.
A fully decked Model 3 Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive unit with premium black and white interior and the larger 19" Nova Wheels, for instance, goes for $44,990, discounted by $2,000 from its regular price, or exactly with the tag of its aggressive Ultra Red color.
Unlike the Model Y inventory list, however, we couldn't spot an interior upgrade in the currently available Model 3 options, just free colors and wheels. The free 18-month Supercharging deal applies to those inventory Model 3 vehicles as well.
