Tesla has now started to offer used car leases, and the down payments even start at $0 for eager gearheads.
The offer applies to both 12 and 24-month leases, but there will be added costs for the year-long agreement.
The new $0 fee comes after other discounts will soon end, such as the federal incentive.
So, acquiring a used Model 3 or Model Y has never been cheaper or easier.
Fancy a new Tesla in your garage? Used car leases now come with a $0 down payment

Tesla is arguably the most well-known EV company on the planet, thanks to its varied fleet of cars on offer.
But, in a turn of events, the EV manufacturer has slashed some prices on used car leases, and drivers can now take advantage of a $0 down payment.
In certain areas, reportedly including California and Texas, drivers can bag a used Model 3 or Model Y with a down payment of not a single dime, and only a few hundred dollars in fees per month.
One lease offers a $0 initial fee for a subsequent cost of $312 across 24 months, plus a 12-month option is also available.
But prospective drivers should be aware that although there is a $0 down payment, an acquisition fee of $695 will apply.

Of course, the leasing cost will vary depending on the amount of annual miles required, alongside location and lease length.
But, you have to admit, with other discounts and offers set to send soon, this used car lease deal isn’t half bad.
The Model Y is loved by car fans in more ways than one
Within the car industry, there’s no hiding from the fact that there has been a huge shift from gas-powered vehicles to EVs.
This is due to a variety of factors, including both the economic and the environmental benefits, and one Tesla car has been praised in light of this.
The Model Y has been praised for its money-saving perks by many drivers online.
For example, one new Model Y owner revealed how much he’s managed to save on gas since buying one four months ago.
Plus, Tesla has even launched a new version of the Model Y, but with surprisingly low cost.
But there’s nothing lower than zero down.
