Tesla Model 3 Leases Hit Rock Bottom at $299/Month: Deals, Updates & EV News

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.

Model 3 Lease Deals: The Full Breakdown

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.

Is Leasing Right for You?

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 R2 Block Parties Kick Off

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!

Tesla Glass Roof: Missile-Proof?

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.

Model YL Pricing Speculation

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.

Joah Accessories (promo: Dennis5) – phone mounts, center consoles, free shipping/returns.
