Tesla Model Y Propulsion now €38,990

Following the reduction of the 2025 ecological bonus to 2000 euros, Tesla maintains its 4000 euro promotion on its in-stock Model Y Propulsion.

Tic Tac, Tic Tac. The countdown has begun before the presentation – and subsequent sale – of the future Tesla Model Y. Unfortunately, we cannot speak of a completely new generation, but rather a deeply redesigned V2.0. Even more so than what we saw at the end of 2023 with the same process applied to the Tesla Model 3.

The Californian manufacturer has preferred to postpone the overhaul of the Model Y after observing the rapid progress of its Chinese competitors. Design, range, connectivity, autonomous driving, Tesla aims to be at the top of the field in 2025. The problem is that Tesla customers want the latest innovations and are thus similar to electronic gadget buyers. However, there are stocks, plenty of stocks, because the Model Y hasn’t been selling well for months and months. Tesla’s customer base has fallen into a wait-and-see attitude, preferring to postpone their purchase rather than buy the “wrong” generation.

Should You Succumb?

Since December 2, 2024, the ecological bonus in France has been updated via a rectifying decree, notably halving the aid (from 4000 to 2000 euros). Low-income households saw their aid drop from 7000 to 4000 euros, and the conversion bonus disappeared. Therefore, Tesla cannot be satisfied with an entry-level Model Y priced at 42,990 euros, bonus 2025 deducts.

Consequently, the commercial messaging has once again evolved: the 4000 euro promotion on available stock models is extended indefinitely. There are currently no significant discounts to clear space at the Berlin factory, as the next version is about to go into production.

Thus, the Tesla Model Y is currently discounted from 44,990 euros to 40,990 euros, then to 38,990 euros once the 2000 euro ecological bonus is deducted.

Tesla Model Y is symbolically cheaper than the China-made Model 3 sedan. It was a bit embarrassing. The big existential question remains: should you succumb to this offer or postpone your purchase to wait for the upcoming Model Y? There’s no clear-cut answer: if you don’t care about having the newest, go for it. The V2.0 will be more attractive, offer more range, but also be significantly more expensive, as Tesla will halt discounts at the very least during its first year. An intermediate solution might be to rent for a few years instead of buying. Crunch your numbers.
