Introduction
If you plan to use this component with Finsweet's Table of Contents attributes, follow these steps:
  1. Remove the current class from the content27_link item as Webflow's native current state will automatically be applied.
  2. To add interactions that automatically expand and collapse sections in the table of contents, select the content27_h-trigger element, add an element trigger, and choose Mouse click (tap).
  3. For the first click, select the custom animation Content 28 table of contents [Expand], and for the second click, select the custom animation Content 28 table of contents [Collapse].
  4. In the Trigger Settings, deselect all checkboxes other than Desktop and above. This disables the interaction on tablet and below to prevent bugs when scrolling.

Tesla has expanded its U.S. discount program to support community heroes across the country. Eligible buyers—including military members, first responders, teachers, and students—now receive a $1,000 discount on any new Tesla vehicle. This offer can also be combined with Tesla’s referral program for even greater savings.

Who Qualifies for the $1,000 Tesla Heroes Discount?

Tesla’s “Everyday Heroes” program includes:

  • Military personnel (active duty, reserves, veterans, retirees)
  • First responders (firefighters, EMTs, police officers)
  • Teachers and education staff (K–12 and post-secondary)
  • Post-secondary students (college or university)

This incentive is Tesla’s way of recognizing and supporting those who serve and educate their communities.

How to Verify Eligibility (ID.me)

Tesla has partnered with ID.me to securely verify buyer eligibility. To claim your discount:

  1. Visit Tesla’s American Heroes page.
  2. Click “Verify with ID.me”.
  3. Select your category (military, first responder, educator, or student).
  4. Complete verification.
  5. The $1,000 discount is automatically applied at checkout.

Important: Verification must be completed before delivery—Tesla cannot apply the discount afterward.

How to Stack the $1,000 Discount With Tesla Referral Rewards

This program fully stacks with Tesla’s referral benefits, allowing buyers to save even more:

Heroes Discount (U.S.)

  • $1,000 off your new Tesla purchase

Referral Rewards

  • Buyer: 3-month Full Self-Driving (Supervised) trial
  • Referrer: $650 in Tesla Credits

Tesla Credits can be used for:

  • Supercharging
  • Software upgrades
  • Accessories
  • Service
  • Future Tesla vehicle purchases

Together, these stackable perks can deliver thousands in combined value.

Why This Matters

By combining the Heroes Discount, referral perks, and any applicable federal or state incentives, eligible buyers can maximize savings:

  • $1,000 Heroes Discount
  • 3-month FSD trial (buyer)
  • $650 Tesla Credits (referrer)
  • $7,500 federal EV tax credit (if eligible)
  • State-level EV incentives, where available

This makes the Tesla Heroes Program one of the most valuable promotions available in 2025.
