Elon Musk’s company, Tesla, is facing a new problem: not enough people are excited about their cars anymore. To fix this, Tesla is giving discounts on some models, especially the new Model Y, according to a report from Fortune.
Discount Details on the Model Y
Just after Tesla launched the updated Model Y, they surprised customers with a special deal: a very low financing rate of 1.99% for a six-year loan on the all-wheel drive version. To get this deal, customers need to put down $3,999. This rate is much better than what Tesla usually offers—some higher-end models, like the Model S, have rates of over 6%.
Excitement Fades After Update
When Tesla refreshed the Model Y in March, they hoped it would attract a lot of buyers. However, the excitement seems to be fading quickly. In the first month after the launch, very few orders were made for the $59,990 Launch Series version, which was meant for early fans of Tesla. The more affordable long-range AWD model, priced at $48,990, didn’t come out until April.
The fact that Tesla is giving discounts so soon after the launch shows they are worried that people are not buying the car at its original price, according to Fortune. Tesla hasn’t explained why they decided to do this yet.
