Tesla France has removed the discount of 4000 to 5800 euros on its old Model Y… which are now even less interesting.
All business schools around the world will soon integrate a specialization in “Tesla” into their programs. The American manufacturer has once again displayed all its logic, or even competence, to clear its growing stocks.
To recap: since the beginning of 2025, Tesla France applied a significant discount on its old Model Y available in stock. Hundreds of units that sit in dealership parking lots, losing value a bit more each day.
From 4000 to 5800 euros depending on configurations, not to mention sometimes a free paint job or free charging for 1 to 2 years (also depending on configurations). But there was a problem that Tesla did not foresee: the cannibalization of customers on the new Model Y!

Tesla sacrifices its stocks of old Model Y!
Indeed, by applying huge promotions on the old Model Y, Tesla has harmed the sales of the new Model Y. Are you following? So much so that today, quietly, the American manufacturer is removing the bonus to restore some coherence.
Six months have passed since the launch of the new generation, and stocks are depleting very, very slowly. Customers are weighing the pros and cons of both generations and are not making a decision. Additionally, there is a significant change in style between the two versions that seems to confuse at times.
Now, only demonstration units, already registered, with mileage and that have already received the ecological bonus (let’s not forget) are discounted. And even then, very slightly once you integrate these parameters listed here: between 2210 and 2830 euros. Not very interesting.
Simple milestone before liquidation?
Tesla likes to segment its promotional campaigns to make headlines. Today, the new Model Y Long Range Propulsion is therefore cheaper than an old Model Y Propulsion. However, there is a world of difference between the two.
The bets are placed: in the coming weeks, Tesla will come back strong with totally crazy discounts to harshly draw a line under its old Model Y that pollutes its business. And too bad if the financial losses will be large. There’s no other choice.
The problem with this? The customer, far from being naive, is once again invited to wait before taking out their checkbook.
And you, would you follow a Tesla training in business school?
