Hey everyone, Dennis here from DennisCW – your go-to guy for Tesla deals and EV insights. Tesla just dropped some insane lease payments on the Model 3, with the base Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) starting at $299/month. We haven't seen numbers this low in ages, and it's a game-changer for anyone eyeing an affordable entry into the Tesla ecosystem. Let's break it down, plus cover Rivian R2 buzz, Tesla's bulletproof glass roof, and more.
Tesla's new lease offers (with $3,000 down, 36 months, 10,000 miles/year):
| Trim | Monthly Payment | Notes | |-----------------------|-----------------|-------| | Model 3 RWD | $299 | Base model, glass roof included, fewer speakers | | Model 3 Premium RWD | $349 | Worth the $50 bump? Great value for upgrades | | Model 3 Premium AWD | $449 | More speakers, AWD grip | | Model 3 Performance | $599 | Best deal overall – free Ultra Red paint, white interior, and now tire choices! |
Zero down bumps it to $383/month (before taxes/fees). These are about $100 lower across the board, leaving room for the $99 FSD subscription.
Pro Tip: The Performance trim shines here – free premium colors, 0.99% financing available, and new options for all-season (309 mi range) or summer tires (304 mi). Stack an inventory discount (up to $4K off) for even better savings.
Before ordering, grab my Tesla Delivery Checklist – low/high priority items to inspect your new ride.
Lock it in with my Tesla Referral Link for 3 months of Full Self-Driving (FSD) free!
Leases suit low-mileage drivers (10K/year) who love upgrading often – think new hardware with HW5 on the horizon. Watch fees: ~$695 acquisition + $400 disposition. High milers? Financing at 0.99% might edge it out, especially with GAP insurance protection.
Rivian R2s are hitting showrooms! Block parties in Venice, Denver, Chicago, and more – featuring Glacier White, Launch Green (my fave), and others. Employee deliveries starting soon; customer ones maybe a year out. RSVP here and share your pics!
Wild story: A Model Y's glass roof took a missile fragment and held strong, preserving structural integrity. Tesla claims it withstands 4x the car's weight. Safer than ever – no worries about rolls or debris.

Tesla's longer Model Y (6-seater) launched in Asia: $46K–$72K USD equivalent. US debut Q3/Q4? Expect $55K–$65K – premium over AWD +7-seater (~$52K). Could rival Model X for families.
