Hey everyone, DennisCW here! Today, I’m excited to dive into an incredible deal that one lucky Tesla enthusiast snagged—a Tesla Model 3 for just $163 a month! If you’re looking to get behind the wheel of a Tesla with the lowest monthly payment possible, this is the kind of deal that will catch your attention. Let’s break it down and explore why the Model 3 rear-wheel drive (RWD) might be your best bet for an affordable Tesla experience.
We often compare the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y on this channel, but when it comes to minimizing your monthly payments, the Model 3 RWD takes the crown. Through Chase leasing, this particular deal offers a 24-month lease for just $163 a month with a 12,000-mile-per-year allowance. That’s an unbelievably low payment for a vehicle as advanced and stylish as the Model 3!
Now, before we get too excited, let’s talk about the fine print. The amount due at signing is $8,279. A big chunk of this—about $5,000—comes from Tesla credits, with an additional $3,193 on top. So, you’re looking at around $8K down. When you factor in the down payment plus the $163 monthly payments over the 2-year lease term, the total cost comes out to roughly $11,000.
While that upfront cost might seem steep, it’s still a fantastic option if you’re looking to “rent” a Tesla for a couple of years without worrying about depreciation. Leasing can be a smart move if you’re just dipping your toes into the Tesla world or if it’s your first EV. You get to enjoy the Tesla experience without the long-term commitment of ownership. Plus, at the end of the lease, you’re not on the hook for any potential loss in value.
Leasing a Tesla Model 3 at this price point makes a lot of sense for several reasons:

If you’re in the market to buy or lease a Tesla, make sure to use a Tesla referral code to snag some awesome perks. You can find my referral code in the description below, which will get you 3 months of Full Self-Driving (FSD) added to your Tesla vehicle. It’s a sweet bonus that doesn’t come standard with a new Tesla purchase, so don’t miss out!
Speaking of Tesla perks, one thing that doesn’t come with a new Tesla is a set of all-weather floor mats. If you’ve been following the channel, you know I’ve tested just about every brand out there—3D Maxpider, Tesmanian, and countless Amazon options. Hands down, my favorite set right now is from 3W Liners. I’ve got them in my Model X, Model 3, Model Y, and even my Cybertruck, and they’re fantastic.
The best part? You can grab a set for under $100 using my promo code in the description below, which saves you 25% off. Plus, you’ll be supporting the channel, which means a lot to me.
