Tesla's discounting is happening earlier and earlier in the quarter, for instance,

are only just into a brand new quarter, and the US is already seeing up to $4,000

off inventory cars and 0% financing. I always tell people, wait to the last two weeks of the

quarter with Tesla, look at inventory, look at the different options, look at the financing deals,
