Tesla makes a surprising commercial proposal that cleverly blurs the lines between credit and long-term leasing.
Tesla surprises with a formula that resembles the perfect commercial offer! A Model 3 Performance advertised for less than €1 per month. Moreover, this is just our estimate since, on this Wednesday, April 1st, no rent is clearly displayed on the American manufacturer’s website.
On paper, the offer seems enticing. A high-performance electric sedan capable of competing with the best thermal supercars, accessible for a symbolic monthly payment… Enough to shake up market benchmarks and spark immediate interest among drivers.
An unbeatable offer… on the surface?
However, this offer, which seems akin to a kind of long-term lease (LLD) without a fixed term, is particularly aggressive and relies on a somewhat… unusual mechanism. The monthly payment is not clearly indicated on the Tesla France website, which simply refers to a “Cash Purchase”. A rather perplexing concept that might serve as an alternative to traditional credits, LLD, and LOA?
One thing is certain, a ridiculous monthly payment unless it is simply non-existent. Some optimistic readings even suggest that it could drop to €0, which would be a first in the history of modern automobiles! It’s hard to make it more attractive: driving a Tesla Model 3 Performance for free each month is almost a fantasy.
The devil is in the details
To benefit from this exceptional offer, one would indeed have to pay an initial increased rent – or down payment – set at €57,490, which is precisely the catalog price of the new vehicle. A substantial sum, yes, but it allows one to enjoy absolute budgetary tranquility… at least on a monthly basis.
From a strictly financial viewpoint, the operation thus amounts to paying for the car all at once while enjoying the psychological pleasure of not paying anything afterwards. An approach that could appeal to simplicity lovers.
