This will please all the light bar haters. And a nice way for tesla to shift the older units- still a great deal for the customer.

Sub 40k LR AWD with 11k MA+Fed incentives after tax That’s pretty amazing

Solidplum101 2025-01-17 15:58

People are silly not to buy now and wait for the refresh.. which is slightly better but also will have a ton of issues at least the first year. My bud has a new model 3 and has issues on a weekly basis with squeaks and noises

Radium 2025-01-17 15:59

Still more than it was in Dec 2023 when I got a blue white interior awd lr for $45,400 in Cali before the $7500 Demand must still be high enough to not be in any rush since they’re selling every car they make.

meepstone 2025-01-17 16:10

I got a new 3 and just had a bad sensor that was replaced.

SnickersII 2025-01-17 16:15

No more fed incentive, the funding ran out! https://tc.canada.ca/en/road-transportation/innovative-technologies/zero-emission-vehicles/incentives-zero-emission-vehicles/questions-answers

[deleted] 2025-01-17 16:23

That's Canada...?

SnickersII 2025-01-17 16:25

Nevermind, I see you mention MA incentives as well. The article link is to drive Tesla Canada, so I just assumed. Sorry, eh?

WillDill94 2025-01-17 16:26

No 0% financing so don’t care

[deleted] 2025-01-17 16:27

Ah I just looked it up as if I was buying (another)

[deleted] 2025-01-17 16:27

In Canada, the MY now gets $4000 off inventory, but because they raised the price by $1000 it doesn't qualify for the federal iZEV incentive anymore, which makes it $5000 more expensive.

imacleopard 2025-01-17 16:39

As someone that is on the lookout for a used MY for dirt cheap, this is great news. Not in the financial position to buy a brand new car that will depreciate 50% in 2 years, these these price cuts means the used market will also be affected.

itzdivz 2025-01-17 16:44

Had the S for like 7 years before the 3 highland. Removal of blinker was worst thing that happened in a city with a lot round a bouts. It got lemoned within 4 month for a sensor issue they couldnt fix. Hope juniper wont be as bad when my current lease is over i may look at Tesla again.

[deleted] 2025-01-17 16:45

This is me rn trying to get model y 2023 for 30k

Suspicious_Bird_9115 2025-01-17 16:46

Test drove model 3 2025 and “old” model y 2025 - as a car person it took all but 1 minute to get out of the y and buy the 3. Day and night difference. Seats and suspension alone is enough.

Competitive_Bad_959 2025-01-17 16:47

Not sure thats the reason. I think the izev is done

Strategery_Man 2025-01-17 16:49

Looks only be $800 off where I live which isn't much. In October, I scored 0% financing, a $3,760 inventory discount, and $500 loyalty discount off a new red MYLR.

imacleopard 2025-01-17 16:49

Hell yeah. I'm personally going for a `22 under $25K so I can cash in that EV credit. They're out there, but I thousands of miles away.

meeraaki 2025-01-17 16:50

The iZEV program $$ is depleted, the incentive has been paused early [as per transport Canada](https://tc.canada.ca/en/road-transportation/innovative-technologies/zero-emission-vehicles/incentives-zero-emission-vehicles/questions-answers)

[deleted] 2025-01-17 16:54

It doesn't qualify *and* iZEV is out of funding for this round. It doesn't mean it's gone forever.

[deleted] 2025-01-17 16:54

I'm looking for a 22 or 23 anything to avoid?

[deleted] 2025-01-17 16:58

icaranumbioxy 2025-01-17 16:59

I have a new model 3 and have no issues. Bought one of the first long range rwd in August 2024.

70ga 2025-01-17 17:09

can get a model y performance for the same price i paid for a model 3lrrwd 6 years ago. crazy

woalk 2025-01-17 17:12

Yeah, I did the same thing with my Model 3 because of the lack of stalks on the Highland, right before Highland was released. Very nice deals there too.

oliphant428 2025-01-17 17:16

Heck of a deal.

wilan727 2025-01-17 17:16

Haha yeah for sure this vehicle was designed with Asia pacífic in mindwhere the LB is on almost every vehicle. Not so much in NA.

Strategery_Man 2025-01-17 17:18

I was pumped until the computer shorted haha. But after six weeks, it's fixed and the car rocks.

Pardonme23 2025-01-17 17:25

I got mine in ca around the same time.  Was that the best time? I got referral bonus free supercharging plus the free supercharging that came with the new car. 4k off inventory discount as well. But it was standard color and interior.

AnDaLe47 2025-01-17 17:27

23 has the updated suspension. That'd be my biggest to choose 23 over 22.

Pardonme23 2025-01-17 17:27

You can pay like $700 for private companies to send the car to you.

imacleopard 2025-01-17 17:31

Yep, am aware. Not in any real rush; the cheaper the better, but it might be what I have to do, unless I decide to couple it with a trip of sorts.

[deleted] 2025-01-17 17:33

Didn't even know sweet

Radium 2025-01-17 17:33

I haven’t seen the price drop as low as it was in the second half of Dec 2023 since. It came close about 4 months later, but never matched it. Mine also came with 6 months of free supercharging.

Zeeron1 2025-01-17 17:36

I've been checking in on their used prices, and for some reason it seems like those keep going up the past couple months

Zeeron1 2025-01-17 17:37

Is there any evidence of that beyond your buddy? I'm not saying there were or weren't issues, but your buddies personal experience isn't exactly evidence lol

FredericBropin 2025-01-17 17:39

In the US at least leasing is the only way to get the $7,500 cap cost reduction if you’re above the income threshold. So if you’re leasing you can stack that plus inventory reduction plus loyalty bonus if you already have a Tesla and get a brand new MYP for like $42k.

_casshern_ 2025-01-17 17:40

Doubtful, especially if the conservative get majority.

WillDill94 2025-01-17 17:40

Cool? I don’t see how any of that matters to my comment lol

rsyed725 2025-01-17 17:59

Why do the 0-60 times keep changing?

MJC136 2025-01-17 17:59

Ain’t about the light bar for me, simply about ride comfort and noise. Cannot wait for the new model Y it will be so much better.

AnDaLe47 2025-01-17 18:17

Edit: wrong thread. But yeah, totally worth it

wilan727 2025-01-17 18:20

Based on the sales numbers you are not alone. The refreshed y will sell well and clearly the old y was affected by people waiting for the release. Many people will be happy im sure.

lowspeed 2025-01-17 18:23

Just FYI, this is not the best offer they had on model Y. So don't pull the trigger if you think it is, ALSO Model Y refresh is a week or 2 away.

DreamIM 2025-01-17 18:23

Is this usually the best they offer in Canada, if we compare it with the inventory discounts before highland?

lowspeed 2025-01-17 18:24

Exactly, it was a better deal a few months ago.

bittabet 2025-01-17 18:27

I'm the opposite, have been waiting for a bigger inventory discount instead of 0% financing since I'd be trading in another Model Y so the difference isn't huge after the tax credits are applied.

bittabet 2025-01-17 18:28

I suspect if the iZEV did come back they'd just lower the msrp lol.

[deleted] 2025-01-17 18:30

Honestly, I don't think they think that much about us. I think as the Canadian dollar depreciated versus the USD they raised the price to keep revenue up.

YellowUnited8741 2025-01-17 18:34

I bought a 2023 MYP in December 2023 for $4800 inventory discount (it was NOT a demo) and the $7500 credit. This doesn’t seem like a lot of incentive if the launch is truly imminent.

p3n9uins 2025-01-17 18:47

Get another one as a backup 😂

MoDa65 2025-01-17 18:52

new model y is going to make the current one look dated as the highland did with the now old model 3.

MoDa65 2025-01-17 18:53

Know people who paid those ridiculous prices. what was it for the MYP- $70K? Then they woke up one day and it was $40-50K. Many are on this sub just raging when a reminder like this post triggers it

WillDill94 2025-01-17 19:01

Yeah but these discounts aren’t even as good as some were during the 0%

Ashkir 2025-01-17 19:18

I just bought one last week doh lol

Optimal_Fish_4372 2025-01-17 19:19

Guys, advice where to buy used parts in California?

Apprehensive-Fox-740 2025-01-17 19:42

Rather have the ugly lightbar than not have ventilated seats.

No_Cattle_4552 2025-01-17 20:00

Happened to a lot of people. Mine shorted too. Unfortunately it was caused by a bad update and they made some people who were out of warranty pay out of pocket. I know someone who paid around 3500

feurie 2025-01-17 20:15

You say clearly but you have no idea. There’s nothing to show that it will be a spike.

feurie 2025-01-17 20:15

Cool.

Past_Sir9069 2025-01-17 20:20

week or 2? I feel like if it follows Model 3 trajectory we won't be seeing orders being placed until March-April

wilan727 2025-01-17 20:35

There is evidence of a rush on the new y coming out of china.

lowspeed 2025-01-17 20:38

We'll see... that's my guess.

yetiflask 2025-01-17 20:38

Likely adjusted for daylight saving.

[deleted] 2025-01-17 20:40

[deleted]

Suitable_Switch5242 2025-01-17 21:00

Yeah, I think there are more deals to come, unless they just let inventory dry up well in advance of the refresh.

Suitable_Switch5242 2025-01-17 21:01

Maybe a few weeks from a US announcement, but unlikely to be shipping that quickly. Even in China deliveries aren’t starting until March.

Apprehensive-Fox-740 2025-01-17 21:02

I believe everyone and their mothers would be waiting for a nice aftermarket tail light 😂

[deleted] 2025-01-17 21:06

edchikel1 2025-01-17 21:06

I’ll wait for the juniper.

Apprehensive-Fox-740 2025-01-17 21:10

Same camp. I could care less. Lot of quality of life features with the new updates are great. Quieter cabin and a better suspension with ventilated seats are a must and great for the update. Just overall more practical than the outgoing version

[deleted] 2025-01-17 21:20

These are about to look so outdated

Meats10 2025-01-17 21:49

Is Tesla allowing lease buyouts now?

Issaction 2025-01-17 22:19

Not to mention it will make the current Y model prices plummet on the used market

[deleted] 2025-01-17 22:26

[removed]

FredericBropin 2025-01-17 22:36

Yes. At the end of the lease only though (so you can’t lease and turnaround and buy a month later).

[deleted] 2025-01-17 22:41

reality_comes 2025-01-17 22:46

Saw this post and bought. Thanks!

_casshern_ 2025-01-17 23:38

Yeah, but it’s not Tesla’s fault that the government stopped the program.

PriorVariety 2025-01-17 23:40

I live in Phoenix and the best I’ve seen is $500 off, what am I missing here

lowspeed 2025-01-18 00:21

I heard some people already took delivery in China. But yeah sort of a presale.

sherlocknoir 2025-01-18 00:48

I feel like an idiot for even considering it. Glad I didn’t pull the trigger when the prices were that high. I can’t imagine making a $1,400 car payment on a Model Y

DiagCarFix 2025-01-18 01:15

hey Elon if u are reading i got a overpriced MYP 2022 are there Any free hardware upgrades? steam and rear screen?

jespicy 2025-01-18 01:17

Any chance of FSD transfer from existing Tesla?

Schnort 2025-01-18 01:22

I’ve owned my model 3 since 2018, about 55k miles Ive put one set of tires on it. (Probably due for another soon) Had the low voltage battery replaced twice (once under warranty, other time was ~$100?) And refilled the washer fluid myself. Other than that, no service. (Excluding some body work where I was rear ended)

IndividualMap7386 2025-01-18 01:48

Why so stuck on an interest rate? At the end of the day, there will be a total cost if you finance. Two dials. Interest rate and amount borrowed. If amount borrowed is lower than a higher price with your desired 0% interest rate. It could still cost more.

Stealth022 2025-01-18 02:02

I don't know, the website says the program was supposed to "conclude" March 31, 2025, or when funds were depleted. Even so, with the Cons set to win the next election, I doubt it's coming back anytime soon, if ever.

Old-Faithlessness462 2025-01-18 02:33

Earlier adapters have some benefited from fuel and maintenance savings. https://preview.redd.it/faf6xh3aznde1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=31bcc6fcd71b05bbcd1803d931faeec1d2d36a4f

Lt_DanTaylorIII 2025-01-18 02:38

Brakes should be much lower in Tesla, you barely ever touch the brake pedal, so they don’t get much wear on the pads. Tires would be higher in Tesla - they make tires specifically to handle the weight of the vehicle, but they do seem to still wear faster. Especially on the RWD Where I am hydro is much cheaper per month than fuel would be for a similar sized vehicle. I’m at 70k and just buying new tires now (but I use winter tires for 3 months ish of the year). No other maintenance besides a seat sensor issue covered by warranty. And replacing the air filter for the HVAC ($60)

sherlocknoir 2025-01-18 02:41

Those stats seem incredibly inflated. I have 83,000 miles on my 2021 Model Y.. and by my estimation I’ve saved around $10,000 vs the gas & regular maintenance routine on my previous vehicle which was a 2018 Honda CRV which averaged 28.8mpg lifetime. That’s before I get to the part where my Model Y is now worth atleast $30,000 less than what I paid for it new in April 2021 (I paid $27,700 for the CRV when new btw).. Or that my insurance has literally doubled in price over the CRV. For the most part.. any actual “savings” have been non-existent when you consider all the factors. That said the Tesla has been fun to own.. and it’s been a cool experience.

70ga 2025-01-18 02:54

Not mad at all,, just marvelling at the fact! And wishing I was in a position to take advantage of the deal, lol

danperson1 2025-01-18 04:42

They now take your time zone into account as well.

ctzn4 2025-01-18 06:19

You are correct. I distinctly remember shopping for a Tesla when the Model Y LR AWD was $66k and the MYP was $70k. I chose the $47k Model 3 instead. Still got hosed by the depreciation, but more to the tune of $25k rather than $35-40k.

Tower-Union 2025-01-18 09:08

Make existing supercharging transferable and I’ll pick up one of the old models!

Baconer 2025-01-18 09:11

So you end up paying interest during lease time?

Gaff1515 2025-01-18 09:24

Y ? You paid market price at the time?

BufloSolja 2025-01-18 09:48

How much is your insurance roughly? Or a differential compared to prior ICE insurance you paid in the past?

BufloSolja 2025-01-18 09:50

Been starting to consider now as the 7500 may be under threat. I guess I don't mind the new look though I am somewhat attached to the fish mouth by now. But either way will probably just go for an inventory model.

Fr33PantsForAll 2025-01-18 10:36

Or the price will skyrocket as light bar hatred spreads like a wildfire. Protests will erupt everywhere against the light bar refresh. Governments will collapse as people take to the streets in protest and leaders are forced to resign under the pressure. Unsold pre-Juniper units will go for millions. New generational wealth, the likes of the Rockefellers, will be seen by those who hold Model Ys without the light bar. Probably.

tjcastle 2025-01-18 11:56

how do you see inventory discount? I've been wanting to pull the trigger on a tesla but if I see deals coming I may hold off a little longer.

SippieCup 2025-01-18 12:52

Not the only way, but most other ways aren’t possible for most people.

Swastik496 2025-01-18 13:30

Or it’s canadian. Far cheaper power and pricier gas

whatisitworthreddit 2025-01-18 14:29

where do you go to see this. is it on the Tesla app or on the car itself. And if so where do I click. thanks!

rainer_d 2025-01-18 14:43

A lot of people who buy a Tesla come from smaller, often very old cars. There are no savings there. But it’s so much nicer to drive….

[deleted] 2025-01-18 15:35

😂😂😂😂😂

Old-Faithlessness462 2025-01-18 15:44

Correct. There's re based on Canadian driving.

Old-Faithlessness462 2025-01-18 15:45

The cost is in Canadian $.

markymrk720 2025-01-18 16:21

Lower Interest rates would have offset a little bit of the cost

SolenoidSoldier 2025-01-18 17:01

They don't do that, unfortunately.

jespicy 2025-01-18 17:09

Hoping they bring it back as incentive like they did in Dec.

Low-Possibility-7060 2025-01-18 17:12

I think the new model Y makes the current one almost look good.

DuneProphecy 2025-01-18 18:50

Never buy the old outgoing model.

kingralph7 2025-01-18 20:06

Allow FSD transfer always...

DamnRedhead 2025-01-18 21:06

I bought a Y in 2020. Think I paid 68k… 6 years at 2.25%. Sold it last year and was $3k in the black. Rolled that into a 2 year lease on a ‘24 MY (with the $7,500 tax credit). This way I rolled the resale risk back on Tesla, and plan on leaving the Tesla ecosystem when the lease is up, now that everything can use the supercharger network. So yeah, not bad.

Resident-Ad5172 2025-01-18 22:01

The light bar is cool. Can’t get over the Prius rear end

singletWarrior 2025-01-18 22:06

I had a v8 so yeah…

ELBillz 2025-01-19 00:30

Still not buying electric.

Tookmyprawns 2025-01-19 03:18

Basically every new product sells at first. That doesn’t really indicate long term success. Though I’m sure it will be a high selling car.

ncsugrad2002 2025-01-19 07:01

Brand new Y performance is now less than I paid for a used 2019 m3p in 2021 😭

aaayyyuuussshhh 2025-01-19 08:39

Ehh I really like how the kona is because they didn't cheap out and make it into many different pieces. On the model Y not only did they break it up into 3 for no reason, but also they made the shape weird. On the rear it makes sense to break up a light bar because of the functionality of a tailgate. But on the Model Y is looks downright cheap. The Kona looks okay/good. Lots of other cars also have bad headlight bar designs like every mercedes, seltos, escape, lightning, equiox/blazer ev etc. Even car's like the rivian look meh but not bad per say.

Ninj4s 2025-01-19 13:11

> Unfortunately it was caused by a bad update and they made some people who were out of warranty pay out of pocket. Damn. No customer protection there? In my region it'd be covered for five years if it was a manufacturers fault, no matter the mileage.

[deleted] 2025-01-19 14:24

FrontFew7419 2025-01-19 16:11

With the new model Y, it has screen at the rear passenger side, which is a game changer for me (especially if you have kids)

Tower-Union 2025-01-19 21:08

No FUSC transfer, no purchase.

aaayyyuuussshhh 2025-01-19 23:40

Completely valid haha. It would be easy to cover or replace aftermarket if it's already split into 3 pieces.

lastlaugh100 2025-01-20 06:31

I haven’t heard of loyalty bonus, can you explain?

No_Cattle_4552 2025-01-20 18:05

They refused to admit it was a fault even when provided proof. This happened before the recall.

Snakend 2025-01-20 18:15

The Y is one of the best selling cars year after year. You think that is going to stop with the refresh?

BufloSolja 2025-01-21 02:08

Been weighing on this more now that the $7,500 may go away soon. To me I would either purchase a LR Y AWD or a dual motor Equinox. Equinox seems to be 4kish cheaper, but the Y has higher charging speed (and not having to use an adapter or deal with CCS), some more range, more storage, better app and software in general. I rented out a 3 for work to get a longer test drive, but haven't been able to drive the Y yet. So I'm not familiar if the Y has a heated steering wheel (though I would imagine it does), compared to if the equinox does, and some smaller conveniences like that. If anyone else knows some general comparisons that would help me out.

Separate-Wolverine38 2025-01-22 12:39

I'm about to pull the trigger in MA on a LR AWD, is now the time or is there a chance they discount further in a week? Also are inventory (on the lot) discounts you negotiate or they apply automatically in the build configurator? It my first time looking at tesla

tjcastle 2025-01-22 23:55

I'm debating on leasing or financing a MY or M3. My gut is telling me to go lease, but there's the whole wasted money issue as opposed to owning.

lightforce1911 2025-01-23 05:24

Just ordered a lr. Wanted to get in before the 7500 goes bye bye.

TaxAfterImDead 2025-01-23 06:49

Yea this isn't a great deal... I would rather buy hybrid or used SUV. This is insane pricing.... I would purchase this if the price drops below 45k brand new. With high interest rate, I want cash pricing and i ain't about to drop 70k for a car.

Past_Sir9069 2025-01-23 21:33

that is completely untrue. They aren't getting them until sometime in March-April. Where did you "hear" this?

lowspeed 2025-01-23 21:37

x... https://x.com/blueskykites/status/1882513964829213094

Past_Sir9069 2025-01-23 21:59

Yeah those are for the showroom. Actual deliveries won't happen for a little while.

Defiant-Bunch-9917 2025-02-03 12:53

The model y refresh look is more drastic.  I have to look twice at a refreshed model 3 to see the difference.  More so even with the darker colors.
