Tesla Model Y vs Model 3

Model Y vs Model 3: which one gains most from 2026 incentives?

Published June 12, 2026 · verified July 13, 2026

An honest comparison: both get the referral, but only the Model Y (Berlin) gets the eco bonus. Who really saves the most.

In common: the referral

Both Model 3 and Model Y give the same referral benefit: 1,000 km of Supercharging or €250. There's no “premium” code for either.

The real difference: the eco bonus

Criterion	Model Y (Berlin)	Model 3 (Shanghai)
Referral	1,000 km or €250	1,000 km or €250
Eco bonus	up to €5,700	not eligible
ADEME eco-score	Pass (Europe)	Fail (Shanghai)

Conclusion

If eco-bonus eligibility is decisive, the Model Y RWD gains most from 2026 incentives. The Model 3 stays attractive on sticker price and the referral benefit, but with no State bonus. Details: Model Y page · Model 3 page.
