What’s a healthcare discount?
500 bucks off.
Tesla currently offers an "Everyday American Heroes" discount of $500 on new vehicle purchases. It's actually a combined military, educational, and healthcare discount:
Verify and Get $500 Off a New Tesla

Tesla vehicles are perfect for everyday American heroes. Offer available to verified military veterans, retirees, active-duty members, their spouses, surviving spouses, first responders, medical providers, nurses, students and teachers verified through ID.me.

The discount started in May 2025. It was originally $1,000, but the only healthcare workers included were "first responders".

In October 2025, the discount dropped to $500, but eligibility was expanded to include "medical providers" and "nurses".

Tesla should add blue collar workers in there as well.

Tesla uses ID.me to verify your identity and work status. But ID.me doesn't have a "blue collar worker" category. The only work categories that ID.me currently verifies are:

- military
- first responders, medical professionals, nurses
- students, teachers
- government employees

Tesla appears to match this list for their "everyday American heroes" discount program, with one exception: the discount program does not include "government employees".

I knew about first responders but not “medical professionals”, does physician count?

The category is "Healthcare Providers." A physician is a healthcare provider, so yes. I'm a dentist, a healthcare provider, got $500 (in addition to $1000 loyalty). $1500 total.

First post. Long time reader.

Ordered AWD on the 23rd, delivery scheduled for 27th. All tasks completed and I’m excited as heck.

Does this sound normal? App said 4-6 week delivery but I’ll take it.

Bit of jitters right now lol

edited for correction, I ordered AWD, noobie mistake on the lingo
I'm in Miami. I ordered 12/17 and my order just arrived (5 weeks later) at the Miami Gardens SC. By chance what was your configuration? I'm assuming that you order was fulfilled prior to mine despite you ordering after, possibly due to configuration. I ordered AWD with Cyber wheels and white interior.

Interesting. I was legitimately blown away at how fast everything went. I guess right order at the right time.

My order was a standard AWD, gray interior, core wheels. My truck had 11 miles on the odometer at delivery. Already at 2800 and loving it.

You will love it....Enjoy. FSD is the bomb... If you plan on keeping your truck for a long time - buy FSD before 2.14.26 - It's worth every penny. It keeps me from getting tickets....
