Tesla is offering a $2,000 trade-in bonus to private buyers who trade in an eligible vehicle towards a new or demonstrator Model 3 or Model Y. The bonus is applied on top of the vehicle's assessed trade-in value, making it a straight addition to whatever Tesla quotes for your trade-in.

About This Offer
Tesla has offered trade-in incentives in Australia before, and this promotion extends that approach to both the Model 3 and Model Y simultaneously. At $2,000, the bonus is separate from your vehicle's independent valuation, so it does not affect how Tesla prices your trade-in car. For buyers weighing up the timing of a new Tesla purchase, this bonus runs until the end of the year, giving reasonable lead time to order and take delivery.
