Tesla Model 3 0% Financing Ending Soon: Act Now!

Hey everyone, DennisCW here! Welcome back to another exciting update on all things Tesla. Today, I’ve got some urgent news for anyone eyeing a Tesla Model 3 with 0% financing. Tesla has just announced an end date for this incredible offer, and it’s coming up fast—June 30th! In this post, I’ll break down everything you need to know to take advantage of this deal before it’s gone, plus touch on some other hot Tesla topics like the recent Model S and Model X refresh. Let’s dive in!

Tesla Model 3 0% Financing: Deadline Approaching

If you’ve been considering a Tesla Model 3, now is the time to act. Tesla recently updated their website to confirm that the 0% financing offer for the Model 3 (over 60 months) will end by June 30th. This means you need to place your order, complete your credit application, and take delivery of your vehicle by the end of this month to lock in this deal.

Key Details of the Offer

• Financing Term: 0% for 60 months (for well-qualified buyers).
• Down Payment: A 15% down payment is required. For a $40,000–$50,000 vehicle, that’s about $6,000–$7,500. The good news? You can apply the $7,500 federal tax credit to reduce your out-of-pocket cost to as low as $3,000–$5,000.
• Additional Incentives: Stack other discounts like inventory reductions ($1,000–$2,000 off on average, up to $5,700 off on Model 3 Performance), the America’s Heroes incentive ($1,000), and 3 months of free Full Self-Driving (FSD) with a Tesla referral code (check the one in the description of my video!).

How to Qualify and Order

Not sure if you qualify for the financing? Tesla makes it easy with a pre-qualification button on their inventory or builder page for a soft credit inquiry. For the full picture, though, you’ll need to place a $250 deposit (don’t forget to use a referral code!) and complete the credit application. Remember, delivery must happen by June 30th, so time is of the essence. Pro tip: Even if delivery slips by a few days, Tesla has honored such offers in the past—just don’t bank on it and push for an end-of-month pickup.

Check out my Best Deal Spreadsheet linked in the video description for the latest discounts on Model 3s across the country. With this deadline, I expect a rush of buyers, so inventory may move quickly!

Should You Wait for a Front Camera Update?

One thing to consider: the current Model 3 lacks a front bumper camera, unlike newer Tesla models. If this feature is a must-have for enhanced Autopilot or Smart Summon, you might want to hold off. Will Tesla offer retrofits? It’s uncertain, and they might avoid it to push sales of newer models. Let me know in the comments if you’re waiting for an update or jumping on this 0% deal!

Protect Your Credit Before Applying

Before you apply for financing, let’s talk about protecting your personal data. With recent data breaches like Bank of America’s (where customers weren’t notified for a month), your identity could be at risk without you even knowing. On average, companies take 277 days to report breaches—that’s 9 months of exposure!

That’s why I use Aura, today’s sponsor. Aura scans the dark web for my personal info (Social Security, bank details, etc.) and alerts me instantly if anything’s compromised. They also offer tools to reduce spam calls, remove your data from shady broker sites, and provide up to $5 million in identity theft insurance—all in one easy app. Try Aura free for 14 days at aura.com/denniscw (link in the video description). Protect your credit before applying for financing—it’s like turning on Sentry Mode before your car gets keyed!

Model S and Model X Refresh: Worth the Price Hike?

Switching gears, let’s talk about the recent refresh for the Model S and Model X. Tesla has quietly raised prices on these models by about $12,000 over the past year, with a recent $5,000 bump. So, what’s new in this refresh, and is it worth it?

What’s Changed?

• Exterior Updates: Matte black Tesla logo and trim inserts, with carbon fiber inserts on the Model S Plaid.
• Interior Improvements: RGB ambient lighting, small engineering tweaks for a quieter cabin, better thermal and noise handling, and improved chassis for a smoother ride.
• Bonus: A mobile connector ($300 value) is now included.

Despite these updates, some features feel lacking. Why no Powershare technology, which is already on the Cybertruck? And while matrix headlights and new wheel designs (like the 20-inch Perihelix rims) are nice, they don’t justify the price increase for many. Inventory discounts of $5,000–$9,500 are still available, but with the base price hike, the value proposition is questionable.

My Take

Having owned a 2022 Model X, I’m not sold on the refresh at this price point. Tesla seems to be positioning the Cybertruck as the better value for high-end buyers (it’s $6,000–$10,000 cheaper than a Model X!). If you’re in the market for an $80,000–$90,000 Tesla, which would you pick? Drop your thoughts in the comments! And if you’re in the LA area with a new Model S or X Plaid, DM me on Instagram—I’d love to check it out in person.

Which Tesla Offers the Best Value?

With all these updates, a common question arises: Which Tesla is the best bang for your buck? Having owned a Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X, and Cybertruck since 2019, here’s my quick breakdown:

• Model Y: Hands down the best value. At $45,000 less than a Model X and just $1,500 more than a Model 3 Long Range AWD, it’s a no-brainer unless you prioritize handling over utility.
• Cybertruck: A strong contender for higher budgets, offering more utility and comfort than the Model S/X at a lower price.
• Model S/X: Low-volume, premium options. The refresh adds small improvements, but the price hikes make them less appealing.

Tesla seems to be steering buyers toward the Model Y and Cybertruck for volume sales. What do you think—where’s the best value? Let me know!

Must-Have Tesla Accessories

Whether you’re snagging a Model 3 before the 0% deal ends or picking up another Tesla, remember: Teslas come with zero accessories. Here are my top picks to enhance your ownership experience:

• Phone Mount: Essential for Autopilot/FSD users. I love the MagSafe mount from Jowua that tucks behind the screen. Use my promo code in the video description for a discount!
• All-Weather Floor Mats: Protect your interior with a set from 3W Liners. I’ve got them in all my Teslas—use code Dennis35 for 35% off.
• Center Console Organizer: Keeps your stuff from disappearing into the abyss. Check out Jowua for this and more (free shipping on orders over $120 with my code).

Jowua also offers cool extras like wireless game controllers and portable air compressors. Links and promo codes are in the video description to save you money and support the channel!

Final Tips for New Tesla Owners

Just picked up your Tesla or planning to? Here are my top three must-dos to protect your investment (based on owning seven Teslas!):

1. Window Tint: Go for ceramic tint from a reputable shop with good reviews (I recommend OC Tint Solution in California—ask for the Dennis Deal!). It protects against heat and UV while keeping electronics safe.
2. Paint Protection: Budget-friendly? Get ceramic coating ($800–$1,000) after paint correction for a glossy, easy-to-clean finish. Want max protection? Add Paint Protection Film (PPF) first—check out DIY kits from TesBros (link in video description).
3. Accessories: Start with floor mats (3W Liners) and a phone mount (Jowua) to keep your Tesla pristine and functional.
