3 Strategies to Maximize Savings
- Wait for December 15-31: 73% of Tesla's biggest discounts occur in the last 2 weeks of Q4.
- Target discontinued models: Current-gen Model 3 may see steep discounts when "Highland" refresh arrives.
- Check inventory daily: Tesla updates deals at 9am PST when new inventory arrives.
📅 Pro Tip: The 10/10 Rule
The best lease deals typically appear when:
- 10+ identical vehicles show in local inventory
- Under 10 days remain in the quarter
This indicates overstock Tesla needs to move quickly.
