Unpacking Tesla's Latest Offers: Deals, Discounts, and the Real Math

Hey everyone, Dennis here from DennisCW! If you're into Tesla deal hacking like I am, you're in for a treat. In my latest video, we dove deep into the new Tesla incentives that just dropped, breaking down the math on financing, tax credits, and whether these deals are actually worth chasing for models like the Model 3, Model Y, and even the Cybertruck. We also touched on some exciting Tesla news, sponsorship shoutouts, and our ongoing Christmas in July giveaway. Let's break it all down in this blog post—perfect for those who prefer reading over watching.

The Truth About Tesla's New Offers

Tesla just rolled out a fresh batch of incentives on their website, and they're pushing hard to move inventory before the $7,500 federal tax credit expires on September 30th. The focus is on inventory vehicles for the best deals, including free option upgrades on Model 3 and Model Y. These can save you up to $2,000 on things like premium colors (e.g., Ultra Red or Quicksilver).

But here's the catch: the financing rates aren't as sweet as last quarter. Model Y is at 3.49% APR for 60 months (down from 1.99%), and Model 3 is 2.49% without Full Self-Driving (FSD), or 0% if you add FSD. Last month, Model 3 had 0% without FSD—bummer!

Don't forget to use a Tesla referral code (like mine in the description) for three months of free FSD. If you're already buying FSD, it supports the channel—thanks to everyone who's done that!

The Interest Rate Deduction: Is It Worth It?

Tesla seems to be leaning into the new EV financing interest deduction from recent legislation, allowing up to $10,000 in interest deductions. Sounds great, but let's do the math.

• Eligibility: Full deduction if single and AGI < $100k, or married < $200k. It phases out above that.
• Hypothetical Scenario (Model Y at 3.49% APR, $50k loan, 60 months):
  • Total interest paid: ~$4,358 (deductible over 2025-2028).
  • At 24% tax bracket: Save ~$1,045, netting ~$3,515 in interest.
  • Effective APR: ~2.45%.

It's better than nothing, but still not as good as 1.99% or 0%. Plus, you have to itemize taxes and keep the loan long-term to maximize savings. Industry average is 6-7%, so 3.49% is solid, but we're spoiled by Tesla's past deals. If you're eyeing a Tesla, lock in now to secure the $7,500 credit—inventory could dry up, especially outside high-stock areas like California.
