THE SECRET WAY TO ORDER YOUR TESLA | DON'T MAKE A MISTAKE

EV Channels Review

This video provides a comprehensive guide to navigating the Tesla purchasing process, focusing on maximizing savings and understanding key configuration options. The reviewer highlights that unlike traditional dealerships, Tesla's direct online sales model eliminates markups, but also necessitates careful attention to available discounts. Key savings opportunities discussed include the referral program, offering up to $1,000 off for Model S/X or $500 for Model 3/Y, plus a three-month FSD trial. Significant inventory discounts, particularly on the Model 3 (up to $5,000), are also emphasized, which can be stacked with referral savings. The video also details the $7,500 federal EV tax credit for Model 3 and Y, and encourages research into state and local incentives. Beyond cost savings, the reviewer delves into practical considerations such as real-world range versus EPA estimates, the impact of wheel upgrades on range, and the distinct charging recommendations for LFP (Model 3 RWD) versus NCA/NCM batteries. Home charging solutions, the optionality of seven-seat configurations for the Model Y Long Range, and a limited-time FSD transfer offer for existing owners are also covered. The overall verdict is that understanding these 'secret' aspects of ordering can lead to substantial savings and a more informed purchase.
