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%.

    Just seeing a Tesla reminds me of the arrogance of musk saying he “deleted” jobs. The choice of words tells you what he thinks of us.

    Eff him. Never again.

      Yep, he killed the brand. He probably doesn’t care in the end. But everyone working for Telsa will.

      If Musk really cared about Telsa he would have never sided with a Republican lol.
