Best Time to Lease in California

California Tesla stores participate in end-of-quarter pushes like the rest of the country. The last 10 days of April, June, September, and December offer the best inventory discounts.

Additionally, CVRP funding resets at the beginning of each fiscal year (July) and can run out. Apply early in the year.
