Tesla China launches limited-time car purchase policy in September: Model 3/Y has a discount of 5,000-10,000 yuan on existing cars

Abstract:

On September 7,

Tesla China announced a limited time car purchase policy in September 2026

. From now until September 30, if you purchase and take delivery of all Model 3/Y models, you can enjoy cash incentives: 5,000 yuan for all Model 3 series (including high-performance versions), and 10,000 yuan for all Model Y series (including Model Y L).

This cash incentive can be stacked with many discounts such as 0 interest for 5 years, insurance subsidies, car paint optional gifts, etc.

. After superposition, the Model 3 starts at 222,500 yuan, with a down payment of 79,900 yuan, and the monthly payment is as low as about 2,377 yuan; the Model Y starts at 253,500 yuan, with the monthly payment as low as about 2,894 yuan; the Model Y L starts at 329,000 yuan, with a down payment of 99,900 yuan, and the monthly payment is as low as about 3,819 yuan.

Tesla stated that since the Model 3 was refreshed in September 2023 and the Model Y was refreshed in January 2025, the current Model 3/Y is at the lowest price in the history of the entire series. Taking the Model 3 rear-wheel drive version as an example, combined with insurance subsidies, cash incentives, car paint optional gifts, 0 interest for 5 years and charging rights, the comprehensive rights and interests of old car owners in exchange for car purchases are worth nearly 50,000 yuan.

In terms of global sales,

Model Y will be the best-selling passenger car in the world for the whole of 2025 and the first half of 2026

. In the Chinese market, Model Y is the best-selling SUV and the sales champion of models above 100,000 yuan from January to July 2026. Cumulative global sales of Model 3 have exceeded 3 million units, and Model Y sales have exceeded 5 million units. In terms of safety, Model Y recently received the "Highest Safety Vehicle" certification from the US IIHS.
