Tesla Incentives Ending: What’s Next for Model Y and Model 3 Deals?

Hey everyone, welcome back to another update from DennisCW! Today, we're diving into a hot topic for all Tesla enthusiasts out there. As of today, the incredible 1.99% financing on the Tesla Model Y and 0% on the Model 3 are coming to an end. If you’re watching this, chances are you’re not at a Tesla store picking up your new ride—you’re probably strategizing from home, wondering what’s next for Tesla deals in the coming quarter. Let’s break it down with the latest insights, rumors, and predictions for what Tesla might roll out next for the Model Y, Model 3, and beyond.

The End of Current Tesla Incentives

Today marks the last day to take advantage of the 1.99% financing on the Model Y and 0% on the Model 3, with delivery required by the end of the day. For those who’ve secured their Tesla, congratulations! For everyone else, the big question is: what’s coming next? Many of you are likely waiting to see if better deals will emerge in Q3. Based on patterns and insider chatter, I predict we might see a repeat of current incentives, potentially another 1.99% financing deal or, if we’re lucky, a drop to 0.99%. However, don’t expect anything groundbreaking right away.

In China, Tesla has already extended similar promotions through the end of July, which could be a hint at what’s to come globally. Tesla often operates on a quarter-by-quarter basis, with incentives typically ramping up in the second or third month of a quarter. So, for Q3, keep an eye out for lease specials or inventory discounts in July, possibly followed by financing promotions in August.

The $7,500 EV Tax Credit: Will It Disappear?

One major factor influencing future Tesla deals is the potential end of the $7,500 federal EV tax credit. Currently under debate in the Senate, there’s uncertainty about its future, with some GOP members showing resistance. While the debate seems more focused on unrelated issues like Medicaid, the sentiment around EV credits isn’t overwhelmingly positive. If the credit disappears, Tesla might need to get more aggressive with pricing or incentives to maintain affordability. Many buyers are already taking delivery now to lock in the credit while it’s still available, which is reflected in the downward trend of Model Y and Model 3 inventory.

Elon Musk has been vocal on social media lately, hinting at political moves and even the creation of a new party if certain bills pass. While this might not directly impact Tesla sales, it could signal that deliveries aren’t as bad as some speculate. We’ll get a clearer picture in about a week when Tesla releases its Q2 production and delivery numbers.

Predictions for Future Tesla Promotions

Here are my thoughts on what we might see for Tesla models in the near future:

• Model Y and Model 3: As mentioned, I expect a repeat of 1.99% financing, with a slight chance of 0.99% if Tesla feels the need to push sales. If the tax credit ends, we could see more aggressive discounts or lease deals to offset the loss.
• Cybertruck: With inventory stagnant and current 0% financing tied to Full Self-Driving (FSD), I predict Tesla might bring back 0% financing without the FSD requirement in Q3. If you’re on the sidelines for a Cybertruck, this could be your window.
• Model X and Model S: There’s some chatter about delivery delays for the refreshed Model X, which is unfortunate for eager buyers. Incentives for these models might remain limited unless inventory builds up.

Additionally, Tesla has a new page on their website listing all current offers. I’m curious to see how quickly they update it for Q3—will it reflect new deals immediately, or will it lag behind? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Exciting Rumors: Model Y 6-Seater and Performance Variant

There’s buzz about a potential 6-seater Model Y launching in China as early as July, with a possible U.S. rollout in August or September. A 6-seater configuration makes a lot of sense for families needing easier third-row access, and I’m excited to see if this comes to fruition. Additionally, many are still holding out for a Model Y Performance variant—fingers crossed for a release in the next month or two, though some rumors point to a later Q3 launch.

What do you think—would you prefer a 6-seater over the traditional 7-seater Model Y, or are you waiting for the Performance model? Drop your thoughts below!

Tesla’s Broader Portfolio and the Robo-Taxi Hype

Tesla recently shared an updated product portfolio image, showcasing everything from the Semi and Cybertruck to solar products and AI bots. Interestingly, there’s a mysterious silhouetted vehicle in the mix—could this be a hint at a new affordable model or something else entirely? It almost resembles a hatchback, but it’s hard to say. What vehicle would you like to see added to Tesla’s lineup?

On another note, the Robo-Taxi concept could be a game-changer for Tesla sales. As these autonomous vehicles roll out in markets like Austin, seeing a driverless Model Y on the road might inspire more people to buy a Tesla, knowing they can experience a slice of that tech with FSD. Unlike competitors like Waymo, where you can’t buy the vehicle, Tesla’s Robo-Taxi visibility could drive both FSD subscriptions and vehicle sales. If you’re curious about FSD, don’t forget to use a Tesla referral code (like mine in the description) for three months free!

Competition Heating Up: Lucid Gravity vs. Tesla

Speaking of competition, let’s talk about the Lucid Gravity SUV. Early reviews highlight impressive charging performance, adding 200 real-world miles in just 10.5 minutes compared to Tesla’s Model Y (162 miles in 15 minutes) and Cybertruck (150 miles in 15 minutes) on V3 Superchargers. The Gravity also boasts superior interior space, though its tech and UI seem to lag behind Tesla’s. So, what matters more to you—space and ride quality, or cutting-edge tech and usability? Let me know in the comments!

As we head into Q3, the Tesla landscape is full of uncertainty and excitement. With incentives ending, potential tax credit changes, and new models on the horizon, there’s a lot to consider before making a purchase.
