Tesla is offering significant discounts and incentives for Australian buyers, including price cuts, free home chargers, and complimentary Supercharger credits. These deals are available for a limited time as Tesla looks to clear stock and boost sales.

Free Charging and Home Charger Incentives
Tesla is offering buyers of in-stock Model Y Long Range AWD and Model 3 RWD the following perks until March 31, 2025:
- Free Universal Mobile Connector (valued at $550) – Includes a 6-metre charging cable with 10-amp and 15-amp adaptors.
- 5,000km worth of Supercharger credits – Equivalent to about nine full charges for the eligible models.
These incentives aim to make EV ownership more accessible and affordable for Australian drivers.

Price Cuts on Model Y Long Range
Tesla has reduced prices on the Model Y Long Range AWD, with some new, non-demonstrator units listed at $65,800 drive-away. This marks a reduction of over $4,000 compared to the usual price of $69,900 before on-road costs.
This continues Tesla’s trend of price reductions, with the Model Y Long Range previously priced at $82,300 plus on-road costs in May 2023.
Finance and Lease Offers for Model 3 Buyers
While there are no direct price cuts for the Model 3, Tesla is providing:
- $3,500 novated lease incentive for all Model 3 variants (if financed by March 24 and delivered by March 31).
- 1.99% per annum interest rate (or 2.99% comparison rate) through Plenti for Model 3 RWD and Long Range buyers (if financed by March 27 and delivered by March 31).
Note: Buyers must choose between the financing offer and the novated lease incentive, as they cannot be combined.

Why Tesla Is Offering Discounts
Tesla’s sales in Australia have dropped 66% in the first two months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024:
- Model Y sales down 43.4% year-on-year.
- Model 3 sales down 78.2% year-on-year.
These incentives aim to regain Tesla’s market share as competition from BYD, Polestar, and MG increases in the Australian EV market.
Upcoming Model Y Update
Tesla’s facelifted Model Y ‘Juniper’ update is set to launch in Australia in May 2025. The Launch Series Model Y Long Range is priced at $73,400 before on-road costs, but post-launch pricing remains undisclosed.
Should You Take Advantage of Tesla’s March Deals?
If you’re considering a Tesla, now might be the best time to buy before updated models arrive:
- Model Y Long Range buyers can take advantage of the $65,800 drive-away price.
- Model 3 buyers can benefit from low-interest financing or lease incentives.
With stock-clearing discounts and free charging incentives, Tesla is making a strong push to retain its position in Australia’s EV market before competition intensifies.
