Elon’s at it again, this time cranking up the promotional heat in China to get those Model 3 and Model Y orders flowing. Tesla’s latest hotshot scheme? Letting new buyers choose between paying zero interest or plunking down zero dollars upfront, from Tesla China Weibo.
The zero interest option is about as straightforward as they come. No interest fees, no compounding headaches, just straightforward financing over the loan period. Simplicity itself for those commitment-phobes out there.
But for the ballers who’d rather splurge upfront, the zero down payment sweetener could be the way to go. An all-you-can-eat feast with no money upfront? That’s honestly a steal for any prospective Tesla owners eyeing those premium price tags.
Either way, it’s a tantalizing “pick your poison” situation for Chinese buyers looking to join the EV revolution on the cheap(ish). Offer ends June 30th.
Tesla’s pulling similiar interest rate slashing antics over in North America too. offering a special loan rate of 0.99% APR (available for those with excellent credit) rather than the usual 6.49% rate, Tesla Model Long Range buyers in the U.S. will save $8,202 over the 72-month loan term solely due to the lower interest rate.
These zero-themed deals are the kind of eye-catching, borderline farcical discounts that’ll inevitably get buyers through those gallery doors. Let’s see if it shifts some serious sales in China before the deadline!
