Tesla Zero Down Deals Return: Best Lease Offers for Model 3 and Y

Tesla Zero Down Deals Return: Best Lease Offers for Model 3 and Y

Hey everyone, Dennis here from DennisCW. If you're a fan of Tesla deal hacking, you're in for a treat. In my latest video, I dove deep into the return of zero down Tesla deals, and let me tell you—these are some of the best we've seen this year. We're talking low monthly payments, stacked incentives, and strategies to maximize your savings. Whether you're eyeing a Model 3 or Model Y, this could be the push you need to get behind the wheel. Let's break it down.

The Return of Zero Down Deals: Why This Is the Best Yet

Tesla has brought back zero down leasing options, and they're sweeter than ever. For the Model 3, you're looking at $329 per month with zero down. The Model Y? $479 per month, also with nothing upfront. These deals aren't just about the low entry point—they stack with multiple incentives to drive down the overall cost.

Why is this the best deal so far? Let's compare:

• Earlier this year, the Model 3 required $1,000 down for $299/month.
• The Model Y was zero down but at $529/month.

Now, with these updates, you're saving on both down payment and monthly costs. Plus, Tesla's data suggests zero down is a big draw for buyers, so expect this trend to continue through November and December as they push inventory.

Stacking Incentives for Maximum Savings

These leases come with built-in perks:

• $6,500 Lease Incentive: This is why leasing makes sense right now. If you're planning to buy eventually, consider a lease buyout to lock in this savings.
• Option Credits: Up to $2,000 for upgrades like Ultra Red paint, white interior, tow hitch, or 20-inch Helix wheels.
• Tesla Referral Code: Use mine (linked in the description) for up to $1,000 off your vehicle or $500 off with Full Self-Driving.

If you're financing, protect your credit first. Speaking of which...

Sponsored: Protect Your Data with Aura

Before applying for any Tesla financing, safeguard your info. Recent breaches like Bank of America's show how vulnerable we are—companies often wait months to notify you. That's why I use Aura. It scans the dark web for your data, reduces spam calls, removes your info from broker sites, and includes $5 million in identity theft insurance. Try it free for 14 days at aura.com/denniscw. Don't wait—protect yourself now.

Model Y Inventory Push and Lease Buyout Strategy

Tesla is clearly focusing on the Model Y, with inventory spiking recently. If you're leasing to buy out, this is ideal. Put down as much as you can upfront to reduce the financed amount, then secure low rates (4-5%) through credit unions. Check my Patreon for a list of top credit unions with the best rates.

Pro tip: If selling your current vehicle, use Gimme the VIN for max value—they'll buy it from your home. Link in the description.

New Discounts and Perks

• Bank of America Employee Discount: $500 off for associates (not just account holders). It doesn't stack with referrals or military discounts, and Model 3/Y standards are ineligible. Check your HR for similar perks—AMD had one too.
• Real-Time Supercharging Pricing: Expanding to 550+ sites in CA, NJ, NY, FL, and IL. Prices fluctuate based on live usage, but averages stay the same. Good for planning, but free supercharging might be worth chasing.

Affordable Used Teslas: $160/Month Steals

Shoutout to DJ for snagging a used Model 3 for his son at just $160/month! With 47,000 miles, it looked brand new and came with remaining warranty. These deals are real—check Tesla's site for low-mileage options under warranty. For accessories, grab 3W AutoLife all-weather floor mats with code Dennis35 for a discount (lifetime warranty!).

High-Mileage Tesla Tips

Thinking long-term? Bennett from Unplugged Performance shared common issues on 200k+ mile Model 3/Ys:

• Worn control arm bushings and motor mounts.
• Clicking axles and door straps.
• Minor screen yellowing, but batteries often last.

Get an inspection before buying used. Unplugged is running Black Friday sales—perfect for upgrades.

Final Thoughts: Is Now the Time to Buy?

These zero down deals, combined with incentives, make Tesla more accessible than ever. If you're on the fence, hold for December unless you need a car now—the lease buyout is a game-changer.
