Tesla offers big deals before EV tax credit ends

Tesla has new offers for August. The $7,500 federal electric car tax credit ends September 30, 2025. You must get your car delivered by then to qualify. Deliveries now can take up to six weeks. This push is happening because a recent law moved the end date up.

Model 3 and Model Y promotions

You get 0% APR financing for five years on the Model 3 if you buy Full Self-Driving (FSD). Without FSD, the rate is 2.49%. There are free paint options and up to $2,000 off inventory cars.

Model Y deals include 3.49% APR for up to five years, monthly leases as low as $349, and up to $2,000 off some inventory. Some old Model Y stock had discounts as much as $8,000 earlier this year. Tesla launched the refreshed “Juniper” Model Y in March 2025, and it’s for sale now. The Juniper brings a new design, updated touchscreen for the back seats, and up to 447 miles of range. The starting price is about $60,000, though new cheaper trims have since arrived priced from $44,990.

Buying Model S and Model X

Tesla raised the prices on Model S and Model X by $10,000. They now come with a Luxe Package that covers Full Self-Driving, premium connectivity, four years of service, and lifetime free Supercharging.

Cybertruck incentives

Tesla gives Cybertruck lease buyers a $3,500 wheel and tire upgrade. Owners with FSD can move it to a new Cybertruck for free. The company is trying to sell more trucks; Q2 sales were only 4,306 units.

Free charging and FSD trials

Tesla brought back free charging. Cash buyers of Model 3 can get 18 months of Supercharging free. Model S and X buyers get it for life, and in Canada, Model 3 inventory buyers get a year free if they pay cash or finance.

You can also sample FSD free for three months if you use the Tesla referral program. Some believe Tesla may keep extending these trial offers.

Production and delivery numbers

In quarter two, Tesla built over 410,000 vehicles and delivered 384,122. So far in 2025, Tesla has delivered about 721,000. First quarter deliveries dropped 13% from last year. Many predicted higher numbers.

Tesla started selling the new Model Y Juniper in March. It’s a 2026 model with a new look and tech, including a rear seat touchscreen and longer range. Cheaper versions are now rolling out.

Tesla wants to clear out inventory as the tax credit ends. Big deals are aimed at boosting sales before September 30. After then, EV buyers won’t get the $7,500 credit. Elon Musk says losing credits will hurt competitors more than Tesla, but right now the company needs stronger sales.

These moves could affect Tesla’s growth going forward. Tesla is hoping that discounts, free charging, test runs of FSD, and low interest rates will attract more buyers before the deadline.
