Tesla Slashes Prices and Adds Perks Amid Falling Sales: Limited-Time Incentives on Model 3, Y, S, X & Cybertruck

Buying a Tesla used to feel like a privilege with long wait times and minimal discounts. That narrative is quickly changing. In the face of declining EV sales, Tesla is now offering aggressive incentives to move inventory before the end of Q3 2025.

Tesla’s New Incentive Push: What Buyers Need to Know

With deliveries required by September 30, Tesla is offering enticing perks across its entire lineup:

$7,500 lease credit on all models

1-month free trial of Tesla’s Full Self-Driving (Supervised) software

Free Premium Connectivity

30 days for Model 3 and Model Y

1 year for Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck

Model-Specific Offers

Model 3

0% APR financing if you purchase the $8,000 FSD package

Or choose 18 months of free Supercharging if paying in full

Model Y

Financing rate cut to 3.49% APR (down from 5.54%)

Lease deal drops to $349/month (36 months, $3,000 down)

Cybertruck

Also qualifies for 0% APR with FSD package

Includes free upgrade to 20" rugged Cyber wheels + all-terrain tires

These offers represent Tesla’s most aggressive sales strategy in recent years, targeting both budget-conscious buyers and tech enthusiasts.

Why Is Tesla Offering Discounts?

Tesla sold 31,000 fewer vehicles in H1 2025 than it did in the same period of 2024. Despite still holding nearly 50% of the U.S. EV market, its dominance is under pressure. The EV market grew by a modest 1.5%, but rising competition from other automakers is eating into Tesla's market share.

Additionally, upcoming changes to the $7,500 federal EV tax credit could reduce buyer eligibility, prompting Tesla to offload as much current inventory as possible while incentives are still appealing.

A Unique Opportunity for Buyers

This sudden surge of discounts, financing deals, and limited-time perks creates a rare buyer’s market for EV shoppers. Whether you're looking to lease or buy, Tesla is offering multiple paths to savings ahead of what could be a pivotal shift in its long-term strategy.

As Tesla delays the launch of its more affordable next-gen vehicle, it appears the brand is doubling down on incentives to keep demand steady in the short term.
