Lombardy’s 2025 vehicle-replacement scheme was scheduled to run from 3 April to 31 October, subject to available funding. It supported residents replacing a qualifying higher-emission car with a lower- or zero-emission vehicle, with an electric-car contribution of up to €3,500 in the examples discussed here. Tesla’s Model 3 and Model Y were among the cars considered alongside manufacturer promotions. These were historical offers; they do not establish present eligibility or prices.

Who could apply?

The original article focused on Lombardy residents who:

  • Removed a qualifying petrol vehicle up to Euro 2 or diesel vehicle up to Euro 5 from the fleet under the scheme’s rules.
  • Bought a qualifying replacement car at the same time. The original summary emphasised new cars; the official call’s vehicle-registration and ownership conditions, rather than a blanket description of used or zero-kilometre cars, determined eligibility.

What was the vehicle-price ceiling?

The article used a €40,000 list-price ceiling excluding VAT when discussing potentially eligible cars. The scheme’s definition of eligible price, equipment and VAT treatment needed to be checked against the official rules and their amendments. A discounted advertised price by itself did not prove that a particular order qualified.

The Tesla examples discussed

Applying 22% VAT to €40,000 gives €48,800, the reference used in the article’s comparisons. The following were illustrative Tesla configurations and offers at publication, not confirmation that every version or option combination was approved for the grant:

🔹 Tesla Model 3 RWD

List price quoted: €39,990.

  • Tesla bonus quoted: €4,000.
  • Lombardy contribution used in the example: €3,500. The resulting illustrative price was €32,490. The article also described a possible additional €500 referral benefit, subject to the relevant offer and scheme conditions.

🔹 Tesla Model 3 Long Range RWD and AWD

The article described these versions as potentially fitting the price ceiling, with the final cost varying by configuration. Eligibility and the combination of benefits still needed to be established for the specific order.

🔹 Refreshed Tesla Model Y RWD

List price quoted: €44,990.

  • Tesla bonus quoted: €2,000.
  • Lombardy contribution used in the example: €3,500, producing an illustrative €39,490 total. The article stated that the referral benefit could not be combined with this particular manufacturer offer.

🔹 Previous-generation Model Y inventory

Discounted inventory cars below the article’s €48,800 comparison figure were also discussed as possible candidates. Stock and the scheme’s actual price and vehicle conditions were decisive; neither an inventory listing nor a low price guaranteed approval.

The application period

The scheduled window was 3 April to 31 October 2025, with an earlier closure possible if funding ran out. The official regional notice subsequently recorded that Line A stopped accepting applications at 19:06 on 3 September 2025 because the allocated resources were exhausted. This archived guide therefore must not be used as an open application opportunity.

Putting the price examples in context

At publication, combining a manufacturer promotion with a qualifying regional grant could substantially reduce the cost of an electric car. The examples of €32,490 for Model 3 RWD and €39,490 for Model Y RWD illustrated that arithmetic, rather than an unconditional price available to every buyer.

For someone comparing vehicles at the time, checking the grant rules, the seller’s process and the precise manufacturer terms was essential before committing to an order. Teslhub invited readers to ask questions in the comments or through Instagram; any current purchase needs a fresh check of the offers and schemes actually available.
