Current Promotions Offered by Tesla Across the United States
In the lead-up to the expiration of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit on September 30, 2025, Tesla is offering a host of promotions in the United States to boost demand. These incentives, designed to maximise demand in Q3 2025, include direct discounts, financing deals, free trials, and upgrades, as well as special programs.
One of the standout offers is a $7,500 lease incentive valid for deliveries by September 30, 2025. American Heroes, including military personnel, first responders, teachers, and students, can also benefit from $1,000 discounts.
For those considering a new Model 3 or Model Y, up to about $2,000 (4.5%-4.7%) off is available on new inventory. One free upgrade on eligible new inventory is also offered.
Current Tesla owners can enjoy a free one-month Full Self-Driving (FSD) supervised trial, with free FSD transfer for current Tesla owners. Premium Connectivity trials are also provided, with 30 days for Model 3 and Y, and one year for Model S, X, and Cybertruck.
Special APR financing rates are available, including 0% financing with FSD on Cybertruck and low APR on other models. Free Supercharging offers are also on the table: 18 months for Model 3 with cash or third-party financing, and 1 year for inventory Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck.
Trade-in bonuses, such as an additional $2,000 off for trading in a used vehicle on a new or demo Model Y, are also part of the package. The Lyft program offers incentives, with $1,000 Tesla credit plus $1,000 cash on Model 3 and Y. Referral code discounts of $250 off are also available.
Longtime Tesla watcher @SawyerMerritt has compiled a list of the latest incentives by model. The Model X offers up to 9.5% discount (~$8,300) on 2025 model year inventory. The Cybertruck offers free Premium Connectivity for one year, while the Model Y and Model 3 both offer a Lyft program with $1,000 Tesla credit and $1,000 cash.
