[There's also discounts on the remaining Legacy Model Y inventory](https://driveteslacanada.ca/news/tesla-increases-legacy-model-y-inventory-discounts-over-11k-in-canada-and-up-to-7k-in-the-u-s/)

Would pull the trigger if they offered anything but grey on the $7500 tax credit. (I don’t wanna spend another $8k on fsd) Edit. Specifically talking about performance model.

Yeah i hate that the only color available is grey when trying to get the tax credit. Not a bad color but would like more options

[deleted]

I don’t mind just paying for a wrap for a different color. Not paying $8k for something I already have though.

Turn signal stalk is the much more important one.

Where?

Yes but the wrap costs $7500

They are really trying to move these cars again

It's a sign that sales have dropped, nothing more.

They cut their market in half and chose the half that prefers big trucks.

Wish they would ever include Model S.

Hopefully FSD and FUS transfer are next promotions to be announced

If only the Performance in red qualified for the $7.5k tax credit lol

They stopped producing the Model Y for two months. It was 67% of their sales. They’re pushing whatever they have on hand.

Vinyl wrap should cost $2-3K

No one wants to buy the outgoing design. They had to stop production of them.

Then you have to pay $3k every 5 years to keep getting it re-wrapped

Good to know, probably all of these things are true now.

I need this for the model X please

The sign is they need to drop prices to move product.

It does when you add FSD.

hmmm I may need to test drive it cus it's pretty bad in my area with my 2022 HW3 M3P

🙄 Every time Tesla does anything good (discount, free feature, new design, etc), there's always the group that goes "oh, they really trying to move cars, they desperate, they must be failing, no one wants a Tesla anymore", etc

Have to put $4k down for the 0% APR.

My brother just picked up his car yesterday, does he have any options to be able to get this 0% APR deal?

It says 15% down for 0% APR and then there is $0 down for .99% 60 months

And how does that explain 0.0% for a model 3?

I doubt. No harm in trying though.

Right, not because no one wants them, because they need to re-tool the production lines. Hilarious to see every "reporter" globally say the boycott is working, sales are dead. Uh, yeah, they stopped producing the world's top selling car, of course numbers will drop drastically. I'm sure the media will report China month over month doubling sales now that they're selling the Model Y there again...right? /s

Sedans have already been dying, CUVs are what's in demand now. See: Model Y, top selling car in the world. But if they want their numbers to look as good as possible for the quarter, with their top selling vehicle no longer being produced, they need to push whatever vehicles they're able to still produce, right? Hence, pulling out the stops to sell every 3 they can.

Ok but how do you explain the Model 3 drop then. In Australia they went from selling 3500 units last Feb to 600 this Feb.

Just want fsd transfer

You'll notice Model 3 sales were strong for all of 2024 in Australia. Suddenly in January, they die. RWD Model 3 and other lower end models were the best option for a cheap, quality EV. BYD, with their heavily PRC subsidized cars, launched a campaign in the country to take over the low end market. The BYD Dolphin Essential became available for nearly half the cost of a Model 3, starting in, you guessed it, January. Sales are insane. BYD is going to take over mid/low end car sales globally, just like they did to the solar panel industry years ago.

I can attest to someone in NZ as well buying two BYD recently.

I would likely buy a BYD if it was half the cost of a Tesla. I love my Tesla, but I love keeping more money in my savings.

If demand was high they wouldn't be discounting. Not sure how that is controversial.

They forgot that model exists unfortunately.

It’s a real shame given it’s the best looking model they have by a country mile.

Can you explain why the other colours don’t qualify for the tax credit?

The vehicle has to be less than $55k to qualify for $7500 credit. Any color besides grey puts the model 3 performance over the threshold.

Absolutely love my S. It really is their best looking model.

Yup! Friend in NZ says they're covered in BYDs now. American auto is cooked, the public just doesn't know it yet.

I don't know. I've owned cheaper EVs, and expensive electric motorcycles. The charger/trip integration with Tesla just isn't replicated with anyone else yet. I love traveling around the USA too much, but I'm over juggling 8 apps and planning each segment of my trip, making sure I can make it to the next charger, and it likely works. Now, integrate good route planning and charger status into navigation and sell any other car to me for 20-25K, uh, yeah, I'm there.

Bring back the FSD transfer - that would definitely motivate me (and likely others).

Will this come to Europe in the nearby future you think?

I'm not certain of this but didn't they stop the Model Y in order to start making the new Model Y? They still have stock of the old Y in inventory that they're heavily discounting.

That's the goal, isn't it? To sell… cars?!

It wont happen, there stock is going to tank from the model 3 costing as much as 14k CAD more in canada. No one is buying these new, even at 0% APR. Id 100% be looking at the used market if i didn’t already have a Y

Not really given the model 3 price went up like 10k usd in canada

They do have unlimited supercharging on the S and X

Just short of making them actually affordable for non-tech bros. Bring their prices down to about $25k and I predict most people will forget all about politics for the chance to drive an electric car.

Tesla tends to dust off the 0% APR at the beginning of the year. Seems to cycle with 0% APR, then FSD Transfer, then Unlimited Supercharging on higher trim models, then 0% APR again, rinse and repeat the sales. When you zoom out and look at the incentives, they all cost the same, they're just skinning it differently.

The Model 3 is manufactured in Shanghai and in Fremont. In Fremont the Model 3 shares the same assembly line as the Y, well I think there's a couple dedicated lines, but they're shared otherwise. I think it's the same in Shanghai. So when the factory retools for the Y, Model 3 production goes down as a result. Same thing with the Model S/X, they both share the same production line, so when one gets refreshed, they both stop being made for a bit.

It's the end of the quarter, they always throw incentive in. They're just playing mind games. When they introduced the 0% APR on the 3, they discontinued the higher referral benefit, and the referral benefit ends up balancing things out to the same anyways.

Model S/X normally get unlimited supercharging perks when they want to move those.

Suspect we will see a lot of this to try to juice sales.

willing to bet this happens within a week or less

They need to lower the price, tons of inventory Ys going for less than a 3.

They raised the prices by $5k at the same time though.

A soft rain fell gently over the quiet village, wrapping the night in silver mist.

Buying a made in Canada Toyota Rav 4

Would stacking referral and military discount offset the $55k cap, allowing $7500 credit and color choice?

An electric car, maybe.  Just not  this brand of electric car.

I cant imagine someone who can afford an S or X is penny pinching over $5k

Why is it when you add fsd it qualifies?

Color options become free

Oh I was going to pull the trigger on it anyways. This means that FSD is essentially discounted for $7500 then

I literally just got my title for my 2022 Elantra limited. Have about 15k in equity at trade in and MAN that 0% APR IS SO TEMPTING

Desperate cancelled both of my orders and got my refund 😂

Hasn't FSD transfer been a one-off thing? Though I suspect they will offer it to FSD buyers on too old HW when they officially release FSD to ease on the hassle of handling these upgrades.

I'd rather have the model 3 than Y. Shrinking isn't dying.

They've offered the FSD transfer promotion twice, so far. I expect them to keep dusting it off since Elon said the HW3 retrofits would be costly. It's in their best interest to try and get people off of HW3.

Good time to buy one now then. My neighbor is about to. I’m ready to swap out my Cybertruck for it. Just too big of a target for hate in the truck with my family. Sedan can go under the radar.

I would never consider buying a Tesla anymore. Damage to the brand is so done ✅ good luck 🍀 And for those who do, be sure to have a good insurance that cover your car at good price🤣🔥🧯

If I could have a do-over, I'd get a Y instead of my 3. That said I've had it for 7 years now (!) so I didn't have the choice back then. There are days I just wish I had a bigger vehicle.

Then anyone that can afford one doesn't need the lifetime supercharging because their electric bill there's nothing to them

Yep you’ve almost worked it out yourself. They are luring people who are just outside the target demographic into buying it. These are high end luxury vehicles, anyone. Complaining about the price or incentives are not the target demographic.

Brilliant!

yeahhhhh they wouldn't need to do this unless the cars weren't moving as well as they wanted. and this is the VERY appealing refresh. if the past is any indication, Juniper will be zero wait within 1-2 months from start of delivery, so the potential customers for Model 3 are not likely those holding out for Model Y. not saying they're _not_ selling, but no company is going to willingly offer 0 percent apr, almost literally free money, when the fed rate is 4.5. unless they need to

Same with my ‘19 Camry, about 13k in equity. Really debating!

Me too man me too. Tesla offered me 16,100 for my car. Assuming they indeed like what they see out of mine. However, I'm honestly considering going the used route. I found a 2023 model 3 with under 9k miles for like 27k. So, i'd only have to finance like 12k after fees and taxes.

What APR are you able to get?

I’d say go for it, I traded in my 21 Santa Fe hybrid

How accurate was your trade offer to what they actually offered you?

18k my mileage was 76k. Tbh I haven’t got the car yet but I think I might not gonna do it. I saw a bunch of videos and posts about people attacking Tesla. Kinda worried ngl

I guess I’m losing my 250$ ordering fee

Huh?

People attacking Tesla? Huh

Sales are way down they are going to run insane incentives later this year in the US.

Waiting for them to reimplement FSD transfer

Yeah I'm hoping for a 0% apr on the model y refresh and maybe a sale on fsd.

Will these low sales really result in some insane model y juniper deals in the future? I’m ready to get a Tesla but want a good deal on the juniper (unless they add a front cam to the model 3)

Exactly! On my hybrid Camry, at the most I would use no more than 300 gallons of gas per year, which costs about 1200 dollars. This so called savings on EVs is so over hyped. Not taking into account the hassle of having to charge it is just another headache! Who needs that!

The fact DOGE guy is leveraging Federal Rebates to sell cars to whats left of his biggest market (who also voted for Drill baby Drill, and climate denial), is certainly something. This company is in deep, and only compounds when Carbon Credits begin to suffer

Literally selling mine this week. This company has gone bat ship crazy over these last two years.

just wait! Soon they will pay people for driving them. Insurance is too high and a lot of people see Tesla cars as a reflection of the car owners political views - i.e the desire to ruin the us government, economy and world security at any cost Happy times

How do I get the promotion that started on 3rd the date of my delivery for new m3

Why would anyone buy a Tesla?

They're good cars

I wonder why 😂

Pile of shit on wheels.

Is the newer hardware that much better or are you still better off buying a 2020-2021 with 50k miles for around $20k with the used tax credit?

Objectively, yes they are. But as of now, if you buy a new car from Tesla, you are putting money into the pockets of a man who is actively ruining the US with his actions and rhetoric

What is “well qualified” these days?

[deleted]

HW3 will get folks close, but won't bridge the gap

[deleted]

You use the 7500 towards the down.

Stfu dude jesus christ

What’s wrong buddy can’t handle the truth 😂 go cry about it bozo

Brother you’re literally crying about people buying a car? Y’all are unbearable good lord.

how so?

Going to the gas station is a bigger hassle.

Really?? Gas stations are always on my way, wherever I go. No hassle for me.

My home is on my way, every day. I charge at home and avoid crime infested gas stations. For the occasions where far away car traveling is necessary, a regular car would do for convenience, otherwise, in the real world of most people, electric beats gas every day in every way.

That's why they can afford it.

lol

Have you been motivated now? (It’s back lol)
