2026 Tesla Model 3 Lease Deals Now Available
The Tesla Model 3 is still the face of electric sedans, and for good reason. When it launched almost ten years ago, it helped make EVs a real option for everyday drivers. As Tesla’s most affordable sedan, the Model 3 delivers solid performance, practical range, and easy access to the Supercharger network.
For 2026, Tesla tweaked the Model 3 lineup in ways that matter. There’s the Standard rear-wheel-drive trim, and what used to be called Long Range now goes by Premium RWD or Premium AWD. If you’re not looking to commit to full ownership, Tesla’s February lease deals let you get behind the wheel with less cash up front and the option to walk away or upgrade later.

Tesla’s Lease Deals for February
Most Model 3 leases run 36 months with a 10,000-mile yearly cap. Some trims may offer shorter terms, but the 36-month plan usually gets you the lowest payment. Leasing is available in most states where Tesla operates, but final terms and taxes are set when you take delivery.

2026 Tesla Model 3 Highlights
The 2026 Model 3 sticks to its core strengths: efficiency, quick performance, and a clean, minimalist look. Recent tweaks to the suspension and cabin make the ride smoother and the interior quieter. As always, Tesla’s software is at the heart of the experience.
Notable highlights include:
Multiple powertrain options, ranging from a single-motor RWD setup to a dual-motor Performance AWD configuration producing up to 510 hp
EPA-estimated driving range of up to 363 miles, depending on trim and configuration
Access to Tesla’s Supercharger network, with DC fast charging up to 250 kW on most trims
Standard Autopilot driver-assistance features and a 15.4-inch center touchscreen controlling most vehicle functions
Not everyone loves having just one big screen in the middle, and you won’t find Apple CarPlay or Android Auto here. Still, Tesla’s built-in infotainment and regular software updates keep tech-focused drivers interested.

Final Thoughts
With new rivals taking a piece of Tesla’s sales pie, the Model 3 is still an easy go-to. Its charging convenience and performance remain competitive, even as rivals like the Hyundai Ioniq 6 and BMW i4 push the category forward. For those who lean toward short- to medium-term ownership, Tesla Model 3 leasing makes a strong case.
Leasing also takes the worry out of long-term resale value, which matters as EV tech keeps changing. With several trims and clear pricing, February’s Model 3 lease deals let you pick what matters most – range, all-wheel drive, or extra power.
