Tesla Model 3 Lease deal for July
If Tesla's mildly redesigned Model 3 has been on your shopping list for a while, the automaker's newest lease deal might make it more appealing for you. The lease deals vary depending on which model you choose and how much money you put down, but they seem to be nationwide. Always check Tesla's website yourself for potential personalized offers.
The Model 3 Long Range RWD can be had for $349/month for 36 months with $3,000 down and 10,000 miles per year. The Long Range AWD model jumps to $549/month for 36 months with $3,000 down and 10,000 miles per year. Lastly, the Performance AWD has the highest cost, at $849/month for 36 months with $3,000 down and 10,000 miles per year. The down payments can be adjusted for lower monthly payments, but there are limits depending on the model you choose.
Interested parties may also be eligible for the $7,500 Tesla incentive, along with a $1,000 off Military, First Responder, Teacher, and Student offer, or a $1,000 Tesla Credit and $1,000 cash from Lyft for verified Lyft drivers.
Tesla Model 3TeslaWould you rather have $0 down?
Potential lessees who want to save money on the upfront costs can pay $0 at signing, with some adjustments to the monthly payment. We have estimated the monthly payments by spreading the amount at signing over the lease’s term.
Given the equal down payment, all models would carry an extra ~$83 per month. The Model 3 Long Range RWD would get a total estimated monthly payment of $432, the Long Range AWD would jump to $632, while the Performance AWD would increase to $932.
What do you get in the newest Tesla Model 3 Long Range?
The newest Model 3 was upgraded last year to a 79.7 kWh lithium-ion battery that bestows the car with 286 hp and a 0-60 mph time of 4.9 seconds in the single-motor RWD or 4.2 seconds in the dual-motor AWD. That former RWD setup will give you an EPA-estimated 363 miles of range, while the AWD drops down slightly to 346 miles. Charging speed is slightly lower in the AWD as well, with it adding up to 185 miles in 15 minutes compared to the RWD's 195 miles in 15 minutes.
If power is your goal, though, you should opt for the Model 3 Performance. Its dual-motor AWD setup boasts a trim-topping 510 hp and a 0-60 mph time of 2.9 seconds. Its EPA-estimated range suffers heavily, however, dropping to 298 miles. Its charging abilities are also lacking compared to its siblings, adding up to 142 miles in 15 minutes. Other goodies, like sports seats and adaptive suspensions, are also included.
2024 Tesla Model 3 PerformanceTeslaThe 24 cu ft of cargo space is the same across all three models, with the cabin sporting a 15.4-inch landscape-oriented touchscreen that controls infotainment and most vehicular functions, including shifting duties. No Android Auto or Apple CarPlay is available, putting the Model 3 at a heavy disadvantage compared to other EVs, but at least you can play games on the infotainment screen while you wait.
The Model 3 Long Range RWD starts at $42,490, the Long Range AWD starts at $47,490, while the Performance AWD starts at $54,990.
