Tesla Deals and Discounts: What’s Live Right Now?

Before we get too hyped about new Tesla models, let’s talk about the deals and discounts Tesla is rolling out. These aren’t your usual end-of-quarter promotions; they’re live now, and they come with a few twists.

Pro Tips for Tesla Discounts

Timing is everything: Tesla usually drops big promotions on Thursday or Friday evenings (Pacific Time). Mark your calendar!
Read the fine print: Some deals look amazing, but there are catches-like hefty down payments or credit requirements.

Table: Current Tesla Deals

Model	Promotion	Down Payment	Finance Rate	Lease Option
Model Y	1.99% APR	15% + taxes	1.99%	–
Model 3	0% APR (60 months)	$4,000	0%	$0 down, $350/mo (24m)

Witty Insight: If you’re thinking, “Wow, 1.99% APR is a steal!”-just remember, you’ll need to shell out a pretty penny upfront. In California, that’s $7,500 plus tax. It’s like getting a coupon for a fancy dinner, but you have to buy the restaurant first.

Why All These Tesla Promotions? (And What It Means for You)

Whenever Tesla pushes big discounts, it usually means they’re trying to move inventory fast. But why now, so early in the quarter? Here’s the scoop:

Model Y demand is softer than expected. Maybe the price is too high, or maybe buyers are holding out for new Tesla models or a performance version.
Model 3 inventory clearance: Rumors suggest Tesla is clearing out Model 3s to make way for a version with a front bumper camera (and maybe other tweaks).

Personal Take: If you’re eyeing a Model 3 and really want that front bumper camera, it might be worth waiting just a bit. But if you love a good deal, now’s your chance.

Tesla Owner Perks: Loyalty Discounts and FSD Transfers

Tesla isn’t just wooing new buyers-they’re showing some love to existing owners too.

$2,000 loyalty discount: If you got an early Model Y in 2020, check your email for a coupon code.
FSD transfer is back (for a limited time): If you own an older Tesla and want to keep Full Self-Driving (FSD) on a new car, act fast.

Pro Tip: Not every Tesla qualifies, so check the details at Tesla.com.

The Cheaper Model Y: Good News, Bad News

Tesla just launched a new long-range, rear-wheel drive Model Y-the most affordable Model Y yet, starting around $37,000 after the tax credit. But, as always, there’s a catch.

Table: Model Y Comparison

Model	Price (after credit)	Finance Rate	Range (EPA est.)	0-60 mph	Charging (15 min)
Model Y RWD (New)	$37,490	5.49%	More	Slower	169 mi
Model Y AWD (Long Range)	$41,490	1.99%	Less	Faster	182 mi

Surprising Fact: With current finance rates, the monthly payment difference between the two is just $3. So, what are you really giving up? Mostly a little acceleration and charging speed. If range is your top priority, the cheaper model might actually be the better deal.

EV Charging: Solving the Tesla Charging Puzzle

One of the most confusing parts of owning a Tesla (or any EV) is charging. Did you know new Teslas don’t come with a charger anymore? You’ll need to figure out your own solution.

Top Charging Tips

Extension cables: If your garage is a parking lot maze, a Tesla extension cable can save the day.
Portable chargers: Look for sleek, smart, level 2 chargers with features like app control, safety protections, and outdoor use (IP66 rated).
Travel-friendly: Planning a summer trip? A portable charger with a NEMA 14-50 plug is a road trip game-changer.

Personal Anecdote: I once had to charge a friend’s Tesla parked halfway down my driveway. Without an extension cable, it would’ve been like trying to water your lawn with a coffee cup.

Lease Specials: Model Y vs. Model 3

Let’s talk numbers. If you’re on the fence between a Model Y and a Model 3, here’s what the latest lease deals look like:

Model	Lease Price	Down Payment	Term	Mileage
Model Y	$399/mo	$3,000	36 months	10,000 mi/year
Model 3	$349/mo	$0	24 months	–

Clever Take: For just $50 more a month, you can upgrade from a base Model 3 to a base Model Y-and the base Y is actually a better car right now. Decisions, decisions!

Tesla News: The Calm Before the Storm

Things have been oddly quiet at Tesla lately. The spring software update is rolling out, and those discounts just dropped, but otherwise… it’s the classic “quiet before the storm.” When Tesla goes silent, something big is usually brewing.

Cyber Cab and Robo Taxi: Production Ramps Up

Here’s where things get really exciting. Tesla is ramping up production of the much-anticipated Cyber Cab at Giga Texas. Drone images show dozens (soon to be hundreds) of these vehicles ready to hit the roads.

Robo Taxi service: Tesla has confirmed that the Cyber Cab robo taxi service, featuring full self-driving (FSD) with no human supervision, is launching in June in Austin.
Tesla event tie-in: The big Tesla event and shareholder meeting are likely happening at the same time-expect major announcements and maybe even a live demo.

What to Expect at the Major Tesla Event

Based on everything we know, here’s what you should be watching for at the upcoming Tesla event:

New Tesla models unveiled: Affordable models and surprise Model Y updates.
Cyber Cab and Robo Taxi launch: Full details and maybe even the first rides.
Major lineup changes: Pricing, features, and possibly new tech (like the Model 3 front bumper camera).
Company updates: Direct from Elon Musk, with all the drama and excitement you’d expect.
