Tesla is already offering low 1.99% financing on six-year loans for customers looking to buy the $48,990 long-range, all-wheel-drive Model Y, the series production version of the newer car that debuted in early April. Gone are the days when Tesla had to keep hiking prices to avoid being hopelessly swamped by demand. Now CEO Elon Musk has to fight for every new customer.
Just weeks after the launch of the Model Y refresh, a slightly newer version of the five-year-old crossover, Tesla informed buyers on Sunday they can already have the car at a discounted financing rate. Interested buyers can qualify for a six-year loan at 1.99% if they put down $3,999 for the purchase of a long-range all-wheel-drive version. By contrast, financing rates for some of Tesla’s upscale models top 6%.
As I said in my other comment. I’ve tried so many other cars… Unless there’s a car I’m not aware of / got no access to, I strongly disagree. Tesla didn’t release any major updates and they’re still ahead.
Well, I strongly disagree. The metric for complaints and outright hostile customer treatment from Tesla is far larger for any competitor. Even taking into account how many cara they sell. I tries an model 3 and a Y and they did not feel superior to the Kia EV6, Mustang eMach, Hyundai iOniq 5 or tbe ID4, and I did not even look at Chinese cars, or what you call premium from MB, BMW or Audi. I am looking forward to the Mazda e6 and the Ioniq 9 tbh. I have had a Mazda6 2.2L estate for years as a second car and have been satisfied with the performance.
