Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you’re in the market for a Tesla Model 3 Performance, you’re in luck because Tesla is slashing prices like never before. In a recent video, I shared some jaw-dropping deals on these vehicles, with discounts now reaching up to $8,000 off! Let’s dive into the details of these incredible offers and explore whether they’re worth jumping on.
Tesla seems to be pushing hard to clear out their inventory of 2024 Model 3 Performance vehicles as we near the end of the second quarter. Just the other day, I mentioned discounts of around $5,700, but now they’ve gone even deeper with cuts as high as $8,180 on select models. This could be a sign that Tesla is making room for newer models, like the 2025 Model 3 Performance or even a potential Model Y Performance refresh. Whatever the reason, one thing is clear: Tesla is hitting the clearance button, and buyers can benefit big time.
Let’s break down some of the standout deals I uncovered. These are straight from Tesla’s inventory, and I’ve compiled a full list in my deal spreadsheet (linked in the video description and pinned comment if you want to check it out).
What makes these deals even sweeter is that they’re before additional incentives. You can stack on savings like referral code discounts, the military program discount (an extra $1,000 off), and even 0% interest financing offers. Plus, if you use a Tesla referral code (like the one in my video description), you can snag 3 months of Full Self-Driving (FSD) for free, valued at $300.
Now, let’s talk about that Quicksilver Model 3 Performance with the $8,180 discount. It’s listed as a demo vehicle that’s been repaired, with just 29 miles on it. I dug into the repair order, and the total cost of repairs was $4,662. While that might sound steep, it’s actually on the lower end compared to some demo vehicle repairs I’ve seen, which can climb to $10,000 or even $20,000. My guess? This repair might involve something like a repainted door or bumper—nothing too crazy.
I’ve bought demo vehicles in the past, so I’m not too worried about this, but I’d definitely recommend inspecting it in person to ensure the repairs are up to par. The upside? You’re still covered by Tesla’s new car warranty, and with only 29 miles, it’s practically brand new. Plus, with an $8,000 discount, you’re essentially getting perks like Full Self-Driving for free. Add FSD to your purchase, and you could qualify for the $7,500 federal tax credit on top of the discount, bringing the effective price of a Model 3 Performance with FSD down to around $47,000.
If buying isn’t your thing, leasing one of these discounted Model 3 Performances could be a fantastic option. Leasing also offers a workaround for the $7,500 federal tax credit, which can be applied directly to reduce your monthly payments. For example, that Quicksilver Model 3 Performance with the $8,180 discount can be leased for a 2-year term at just $719/month with zero down. That’s an incredible deal for a high-performance EV like this. You get to enjoy the car for a couple of years, then hand it back to Tesla—no long-term commitment required.
I’m curious to hear your thoughts! Are these discounts tempting enough for you to pull the trigger on a Model 3 Performance? Or do you think even better deals are around the corner? Drop a comment below or join the discussion on my YouTube channel. With Tesla clearing out inventory at such a rapid pace, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more price cuts soon.
Speaking of Tesla ownership, did you know that your new Tesla comes with zero accessories? Not even a phone mount! Don’t worry, though—I’ve got you covered. I’ve partnered with Jowua, a fantastic brand that offers essential Tesla accessories. Here are a few must-haves I personally use:
Jowua doesn’t stop at the basics. They also offer cool extras like a wireless game controller, a portable air compressor for road trip peace of mind, and even an electric scooter for those short walks from charging stations. Use my promo code (in the video description) to save some money and support the channel. Plus, orders over $120 come with free shipping. Check out their full lineup via the link below!
These Tesla Model 3 Performance deals are some of the best I’ve seen in a while, especially with the potential to stack discounts and incentives. Whether you’re buying or leasing, now might be the perfect time to snag a high-performance EV at a fraction of the usual cost. Head over to my deal spreadsheet for the full list of discounted vehicles, and let me know if you’re planning to take advantage of these offers.
Thanks for reading, and I’ll catch you in the next post or video. Stay tuned for more Tesla updates and deals!
