Tesla China recently announced a rare discount for select variants of the Model Y, providing customers with an opportunity to save RMB 10,000 ($1,379) on their purchase. The discount applies to the Model Y Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) and Long Range All Wheel Drive (AWD) models, excluding the Performance variant. Customers who order and take delivery of their vehicles between November 25 and December 31 are eligible for the discount.
The Model Y RWD has a starting price of RMB 249,900, while the Long Range AWD starts at RMB 290,900. With the RMB 10,000 discount, customers can acquire the RWD for RMB 239,900 and the AWD for RMB 280,900 before additional options. Delivery estimates for both models are listed at 1-3 weeks.
It’s worth noting that the discount applies to new Model Y orders, inventory units, and show cars. However, vehicles used for test drives and official used vehicles are not eligible for the discount. Additionally, the discount does not extend to the Tesla Model 3, the sedan counterpart to the Model Y.
Tesla’s decision to offer a discount on the Model Y is uncommon, as the company typically does not lower prices on its vehicles. Speculation suggests that the discount may be a strategy to sell existing Model Y units before the anticipated “Juniper” update is released next year.
