Unlocking 2.99% Tesla Model Y Financing: Is It Possible? Plus Latest Deals and Updates
Hey everyone, Dennis here from DennisCW! If you're a Tesla enthusiast like me, you know I'm all about hacking the best deals on these incredible vehicles. In today's blog post, based on my latest video, we're diving into a potentially game-changing financing option for the Model Y, along with some exciting updates, promotions, and Tesla news. But first, a massive caveat: this 2.99% financing isn't straightforward and might not be for everyone. Stick around as I break it down, share some insider tips, and cover the latest happenings in the Tesla world.
The 2.99% Financing Hack: Jump Through These Hoops
Let's kick things off with the big one. Tesla isn't directly offering 2.99% financing right now—their lowest is 3.99% for 60 months. But if you're willing to get creative, there's a way to potentially refinance down to 2.99% through Nordstrom Federal Credit Union.
Here's how it works:
- Membership Requirement: You need to be a member of the credit union. If you work at Nordstrom or have a family member who does, you might qualify. It's tied to the Nordstrom company, so check their eligibility rules—it's easier than you might think!
- Refinancing Deal: From now until September 30, 2025, they offer to refinance your existing auto loan from another lender at 1% below your current APR. If you start with Tesla's 3.99%, that drops you to 2.99%.
- Caveat Alert: Your mileage may vary. Not everyone will qualify, but if you can, this could save you thousands in interest. Shoutout to Desiree for tipping us off on this one—it's worth exploring if you're in the market for a Model Y or Model 3.

Exclusive Wrap Promotion for Model Y Owners
Got a Model Y? My buddy Austin at Aim Wrap just opened a new shop in Southern California and is running a killer promo. He's heavily discounting wraps on three Model Ys to build some buzz on social media. If you're interested in a Flexi Shield paint protection film (like the red one on my ride), DM him on Instagram (@aimwrap) with "Dennis deal" for details. It might not apply to Model 3s, but it's a steal for changing up your Tesla's look.
Protect Your Credit Before Financing
Planning to finance? Protect your credit first! With recent data breaches like Bank of America's (they waited a month to notify!), your info could be at risk. That's why I use Aura, our sponsor. It scans the dark web, reduces spam calls, removes your data from broker sites, and includes $5 million in identity theft insurance—all in one app. Try it free for 14 days at aura.com/denniscw. Don't wait—secure your credit before applying!
Viewer Shoutouts and Q&A
Thanks to everyone tuning in! Shoutouts to Brendan, Art, Nag, and Timato for the Super Chat support. Brendan, we're sold out on the $4,000 FSD deal, but DM me on Instagram for the waitlist if you have a pending order.
Art asked about 2026 Model Y upgrades like better seat suspension and black headliner. It's possible—we might see a refresh in 2027, aligning with what owners want. Timato, congrats on your Model 3 delivery September 6th! Check Tesbros for a solid delivery checklist, and don't forget protections like PPF or ceramic coating. Use my links for discounts from Tas, 24K Shine, Unplugged Performance, or OC Tint Solutions in SoCal.
New Accessories for Model Y Long Range in China
The Model Y Long Range (Model Y L) is ramping up in China, and Tesla's dropping a fresh lineup of accessories. Highlights include:
- Rear and side sunshades for camping or blocking UV.
- Glass roof sunshade.
- All-weather floor mats.
- Trunk storage box and protection sets.
- A unique third-row seat design for the larger cabin.
We also got a Model Y L vs. Model X interior comparison— the Y L's squared-off trunk offers more usable space despite being 5 cubic feet smaller. Exciting stuff; could this hint at US updates?
Must-Have Tesla Accessories from Joa
Your new Tesla comes with zero accessories—not even a phone mount! That's where Joa comes in. Essentials I recommend:
- Phone mount to keep things secure during acceleration.
- Center console organizer.
- Underscreen storage for sunglasses.
They also have a wireless game controller, portable air compressor, and even an electric scooter. Use my promo code below for savings and free shipping on orders over $120. Link in the description—thanks to Joa for partnering!
Cybertruck Expands to South Korea
Big news: Cybertruck is now available in South Korea, joining the US and Middle East markets. Pricing details are TBD, but this could signal more global rollouts, including China. What do you think—will it conquer narrow roads in Europe and Asia?
Rivian Ends Incentives Early
Rivian is cutting their Endless Adventure Bonus short, ending September 1st (originally September 10th). This means an extra $6,500 off, but only if you lease and qualify for the $7,500 EV tax credit. Use a referral code (like mine below) for 500 Rivian points. Demand is surging—act fast!
Why Tesla Might Raise Model Y Prices Soon
Raj from Tesla hinted at "adjusted pricing" coming soon. Looking at patterns: Model S, X, and Cyberbeast all got hikes plus a "Lux" package (FSD, premium service, unlimited Supercharging, etc.). Could Model Y follow with its own bundle? If prices rise post-tax credit, expect added value to soften the blow. What's your take?
Final Thoughts and Deals
Whew, that was a packed update! If you're trading in, skip Tesla unless for tax perks—try givemethevin.com for potentially $3,000 more. And don't forget my Ultimate Deal Checklist to save big.
