This offer, available for purchases or leases made on or after December 13, 2024, is non-transferable and excludes used vehicles and business orders. Though it was previously discontinued in 2018 due to unsustainability, the automaker has brought it back temporarily as a sales strategy. Additionally, Tesla Model S and Model X sales have been declining, with quarterly deliveries estimated to be at an all-time low, necessitating such promotions to attract buyers.
