Table of Contents
Electric vehicle enthusiasts rejoice! Tesla is making waves with enticing deals on its popular model Y, slashing prices by up to €7,000 on readily available models. These notable discounts across various configurations are sparking speculation about a strategic move by the automaker to clear out existing inventory before the highly anticipated 2025 Model Y Juniper release.
A rapid look at Tesla’s website reveals the remarkable price cuts. For instance, a white Model Y with rear-wheel drive, normally priced at €45,990, is now available for €39,990. Black rear-wheel drive Models Y, typically retailing for €47,290, are also seeing a similar price reduction, now offered at €39,990.
Long Range all-wheel drive Model Ys,usually priced at €49,990,are now available for €44,990. It’s worth noting that these deals apply to stock models in available colors.
“While we haven’t publicly commented on the specific reasons behind these discounts, it’s reasonable to assume the forthcoming refresh plays a role,” an insider source suggested, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The 2025 model Y Juniper promises to be a game-changer, boasting a redesigned body, innovative features, and improved technical specifications. One notable upgrade is the inclusion of enhanced LEAD light strips for both front and rear lights, contributing to improved aerodynamics and a quieter driving experience. Tesla has also confirmed the new model will offer a standard range of 466 km and a Long Range range of 551 km.
Model 3 Gets A Refresh: Glacier blue and More
Tesla continues to refine its popular Model 3,introducing a range of upgrades that enhance both performance and aesthetics. Among the most eye-catching additions is the striking new Glacier Blue paint option, which adds a touch of elegance to the already sleek design. But these upgrades go beyond just a fresh coat of paint.
Tesla has been busy under the hood, equipping the model 3 with a more efficient engine and a new front camera. Interior refinements include an electrically adjustable rear seat and mood lighting, adding a layer of comfort and personalization.
These enhancements come at a price tag hovering around €60,000, a relatively modest sum considering the significant upgrade package.
Tesla enthusiasts in the US,Japan,and China can already place their orders,while those in other regions will need to wait a little longer. However, Japanese customers are being treated to a special perk: five years of free supercharging with each purchase.
Tesla’s Model Y Discount Deep Dive: Is It Time to Buy?
Tesla has sent ripples through the electric vehicle market with significant discounts on their popular Model Y SUV. These deals, reaching up to €7,000, are attracting attention from potential buyers. But what’s behind this price shift, and should you jump at the opportunity?
Jonathan Patel, a Tesla expert, sheds light on the situation. He explains that these discounts are a strategic move by Tesla, coinciding with the launch of the refreshed Model Y in both the US and Canada. “Tesla is likely looking to clear out their existing inventory to make way for the new models,” Patel notes.”This is a common practise among automakers ahead of a new model release.”
What can we expect from this new Model Y? Rumors suggest exciting changes,including a potential shift to a longitudinal powertrain layout. This could translate into a more spacious interior and perhaps improved driving dynamics. Tech enthusiasts will also be intrigued by the anticipated advancements in features like the touchscreen, Autopilot capabilities, and even a possible full self-driving mode.
These tempting discounts naturally raise the question: should you act now? Patel advises, “Tesla has historically been quite aggressive when it comes to clearing out inventory. These deals won’t last forever.” He encourages those in the market for an electric SUV to consider these offers seriously, suggesting, “if these discounts appeal to you, it might be wise to act sooner rather than later.”
Paret uses the example of the long Range Model Y, originally priced around €58,000, now available for approximately €51,000 after the discount – a reduction of nearly 12%.This is a compelling opportunity for potential buyers, but as Patel emphasizes, it’s crucial to stay informed. “Always be sure to check with your local Tesla store for the most up-to-date pricing and availability.”
