Tesla Model Y now part of Autonomy’s EV subscription service
Autonomy continues to expand its electric vehicle subscription operation, as last week the company enhanced its EV lineup to include the Tesla Model Y Long Range.
After forging a relationship with AutoNation, Autonomy now offers the Tesla Model 3 Standard and Long Range, as well as the Model Y Long Range, which has monthly payment as low as $690 a month (with a $7,900 start fee) or up to $1,350 per month (with a $1,000 start fee and no vehicle upgrades).
“Autonomy has met the moment for consumers by making subscribing to a cool EV cheaper, faster, and easier than ever before,” Autonomy chief executive officer and founder Scott Painter said in the company’s latest news release. “During the first quarter of the year, Tesla made up 75% of EVs sold, with Model Y and Model 3 making up 68% of the market by themselves, showcasing the demand and popularity for the vehicles.
“We’re seeing five times the demand we anticipated for our Tesla Model 3 program, and with gas prices soaring, we knew it was time to expand our lineup to include a popular crossover, such as the Model Y,” Painter continued.
Autonomy also mentioned that a Tesla now can be delivered to the customer’s doorstep anywhere in California for $100 plus tax for a limited time. Or the vehicle can be available for pickup from its Santa Monica delivery center.
“The subscription value proposition is unbeatable,” said Georg Bauer, president and co-founder of Autonomy. “When you can beat the legacy options on price, experience, and speed, you are going to win with consumers. We look forward to partnering with OEMs to expand into new brands and models, and giving consumers more choices for flexible and sustainable mobility.”
