Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you're in the market for a Tesla Model Y, I've got some game-changing math that could save you $9,000. That's right—this is hands down the best Tesla Model Y deal right now, especially if you're financing. Let me break it down for you step by step.
The new Model Y Standard starts at a steal, and right now, it's offering 0% financing. Compare that to the Model Y Premium Rear-Wheel Drive, which costs $5,000 more at $44,990.
At first glance, $5,000 might not seem like a huge gap—especially with all the extra features on the Premium. But if you're financing (like most buyers), interest changes everything.
Let's crunch the numbers for a 72-month loan at 2.99% interest:
Boom— that's a $9,308 difference! Over $9,000 saved by going Standard.
| Model | Base Price | Total Financed (72 mo @ 2.99%) | Savings | |-------|------------|-------------------------------|---------| | Standard | $39,990 | ~$40,000 | $9,308 | | Premium RWD | $44,990 | $49,298 | - |
Sure, the Standard trims some luxuries:
When the gap was just $5,000, I'd say splurge on the Premium. But at $9,000 effective savings? The Standard is a no-brainer, especially for your first Tesla. That's money for road trips, upgrades later, or even FSD down the line after 3-5 years.
Pro Tip: Both had 0% before, so Premium made sense. Now, with financing rates, Standard wins.
