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 just made it even more rewarding to go electric. In a significant move that supports community heroes and the next generation, Tesla has expanded its military discount program to include first responders, educators, and post-secondary students across the United States.

As of 2024–2025, eligible individuals can receive an additional $1,000 discount on select new Tesla passenger vehicles — including Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y. And yes — it can be combined with other incentives like the Tesla referral program to maximize your savings.

✅ Who Qualifies for the Tesla Community Discount?

Tesla’s expanded “American Heroes” program now includes:

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

This initiative recognizes the dedication and service of everyday heroes by making Tesla ownership more attainable.

🔍 How to Verify Eligibility via ID.me

Tesla has partnered with ID.me for secure and quick eligibility verification. Here’s how to claim your discount:

  1. Visit the Tesla American Heroes page.
  2. Click the “Verify with ID.me” button.
  3. Select your eligibility category (military, first responder, educator, or student).
  4. Complete the verification process.
  5. Once approved, your $1,000 discount will automatically apply during checkout.

Note: You must complete ID.me verification before taking delivery. Tesla cannot apply the discount retroactively.

💸 Stack Your Savings with the Tesla Referral Program

What makes this offer even more powerful is that it can be combined with the Tesla referral program:

  • $1,000 off through the American Heroes program
  • 3 months of Full Self-Driving (Supervised) or $400 off Solar Panel installation via referral rewards*

*Referral benefits may vary by location and Tesla product. Visit the official Tesla referral page for the most current offers.

🎓 Why This Matters

Whether you're a firefighter, a student investing in your future, or a teacher shaping young minds, Tesla’s discount program isn’t just a financial incentive — it’s a statement of appreciation.

By stacking the Tesla ID.me discount with a referral link, you could save well over $2,000, plus receive bonus perks like Supercharging credits or an FSD trial (depending on current referral terms).
