Part 7/14:
In Japan, Tesla has launched an unprecedented 0% financing rate promotion, a strategic move aimed at boosting sales in a market historically less receptive to Tesla vehicles. Despite Japan’s patriotic tendencies and preference for domestic brands, these incentives could help increase Tesla's market share.
In Canada, Tesla's deliveries for the Cybertruck have commenced after a five-year wait since its unveiling. Interestingly, interest rates for Tesla financing in Canada have slightly risen from 5.2% to 5.46%, despite Bank of Canada rate cuts—possibly reflecting Tesla's own pricing adjustments. The company is expected to implement more zero-percent financing deals to stay competitive.
