Ah and the desperation continues. Tesla has really hit the wall with demand and all of these "deals" being posted is certainly evidence of that.
I remember people claiming Tesla demand will increase by 50% compounded annual growth rate or CAGR until like 20 million vehicles a year and demand was so great they couldn't build 'em fast enough.
My, how times have changed.
As far as the deal, why would you ever buy an EV right now, especially for a 6 year term even with 1.9%. Depreciation is too steep and technology will change too much, the best deals on EVs right now are leases.

This comment has been rated as unhelpful by Slickdeals users.
Tesla has over 30 billion in cash, and basically 0 debt, and profitable ongoing business.
That's about as far as you can get from bankruptcy

Global Tesla vehicle sales are on the downslide
They were down roughly 1 percent in 2024 from the previous year. Not sure that's much of a "downslide"
Q1 was certainly down, but that's because for 2 out of 3 months they were converting the factory lines of the best selling car in the world for 2023 and 2024 (Model Y) to the refreshed model.

, their main source of revenue at this point is selling carbon credits.
This is grossly false.
Even in that bad Q1 2025 I mention total revenue was 19.35 billion dollars.
Revenue from credits was only 595 million. Barely 3% of revenue is credits.
It's funny, a couple years ago, someone would post a Tesla ad and the fanbois would hype it up and they would all give thumbs up and some even made frontpage!
Now, a few years later, the truth is out. The promises made were never kept on FSD. Range is not as advertised. Insurance is expensive and repairs are too as well as taking a long time and build quality sucks.
Owning an EV is a commitment and it isn't all sunshine and rainbows as some want you to believe.
So now that the truth is out and the hype doesn't work, the true score of the thread is shown and they all quickly go to triple digit negative.
But the desperation continues and since Tesla doesn't advertise like traditional car companies, they are stuck posting on forums like this.
Build quality is actually excellent on facelifted Y, 3. Assuming you haven't got any news on that.
Relative to other cars in the same price range, even older gen quality is sufficient.
Robotaxi coming this month, FSD unsupervised will be soon enough, exciting times for the best self driving company.
Save the planet from global warming, save Ukraine, stop Russia, buy an electric car! haha
On a more serious note, I just love the not driverless feature. It drives safer than me. Only use it half the time because it is too slow.
I've had 4 Tesla's since 2013 and never had an issue with the batteries. I currently have two Tesla's.
Elon's politics are not mine, but nobody's politics are perfect.

No problem describing myself as a fanboy, as long as it's the truth and we hold companies to fair standards. Which I don't think you are doing with Tesla.
What car do you own? Don't think I can find worse individual faults as bad as you think you find withTesla?
