Autonomy, the electric vehicle subscription company that offers the cheapest, fastest, and easiest way to get a Tesla Model 3, is extending its electric vehicle subscription service to California’s Coachella Valley. The expansion to California’s iconic low desert will help alleviate consumer demand for an affordable option to green mobility.

California, which suffers from some of the worst air quality in the country, has become a leading research, design, and manufacturing center for EVs. Local leaders and residents are together striving to lower emissions by getting 5 million EVs on the road by 2030, so as to help improve the health and well-being of the public.
With its subscription services, Autonomy enables those in Coachella Valley — including Palm Springs, Desert Hot Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta, Indio, and Coachella — to start reserving EVs via the Autonomy app, getting access to the vehicles in an easy and flexible manner, unlike a traditional vehicle loan or lease. The subscription is also being made available to those in surrounding areas, including Twentynine Palms, Joshua Tree, and Yucca Valley.
“We’re on a mission to get more people into electric vehicles,” said Scott Painter, founder and CEO of Autonomy. “Electric vehicles help lower emissions and support the transition to a sustainable energy future.”
Autonomy’s expansion into the low desert follows the announcements last month of the start of services in the Inland Empire, Fresno, and surrounding cities, as well as in Sacramento, California’s Central Coast, and Orange County. The company earlier this year launched services in Los Angeles and San Diego, and added the San Francisco Bay Area to its market coverage.
“Our journey began in Los Angeles and continues to expand across California to now add the Coachella Valley to our service area,” continued Painter. “We see strong consumer demand in Southern California, and the low desert specifically, and are continuing to increase our presence throughout the state.”
Customers eager to drive a Tesla Model 3 will have access to Autonomy’s fast, easy, and affordable subscription service. With new pricing announced in March, Autonomy’s monthly subscription costs less than Tesla’s own leasing or financing plans. Subscribers can reserve a Model 3 via Autonomy’s app with a $100 refundable deposit. A payment dial allows customers to personalize subscriptions from as low as $490 per month with an initial $4,900 start fee, to $1,000 per month with an initial $1,000 start fee. A $500 refundable security deposit and taxes are required when the subscription is activated.
