Thinking about ordering a Tesla Model 3?

Model 3 is Tesla's lowest-cost sedan and a popular first EV. It's efficient, easy to live with as a daily commuter, and gets you into Tesla's Supercharger network at the lowest entry price in the lineup.

Why people choose Model 3

  • • Lowest starting price among new Teslas
  • • Strong efficiency, low per-mile energy cost compared to gas
  • • Comfortable commuter sedan with a quiet, simple interior
  • • Supercharger access and over-the-air software updates

Current incentive caveats

The federal Clean Vehicle Credit for new EVs ended for vehicles acquired after September 30, 2025. A new Model 3 delivered in 2026 generally should not be assumed to qualify for the former $7,500 federal new EV tax credit. State, local, and utility programs may still apply - confirm before ordering.

Referral benefit

A Tesla referral link may provide a separate buyer benefit if you qualify under Tesla's current referral terms. The link must be clicked before you place the order - Tesla cannot apply it retroactively. Referral benefits are separate from any government or utility incentives.

Confirm before ordering

  • • Tesla's current Model 3 pricing and trim availability
  • • Whether your chosen Model 3 trim is eligible for the current referral benefit
  • • Estimated delivery timing in your area
  • • Any state, city, or utility EV incentives that may apply where you live
  • • Home charging plan: outlet type, electrician quote, and any utility rebates

Before you place the order

If you plan to use a referral link, open it before checkout. Any current benefit attaches to your Tesla account at that point, and Tesla decides eligibility.

Order Model 3 with Referral

Referral disclosure: If you use my referral link for an eligible purchase, Tesla may provide a buyer benefit to you and may provide referral credits or another benefit to me. I do not charge you for using the link. Tesla determines eligibility and benefits.
