Hello, I hope you're well.

Tesla is offering certain customers a $7,500 discount and 10,000 Supercharger credits if they take delivery of a Model 3 or Model Y by 12/31/2022. Check your text message; here is an example.

Yesterday, I posted about how the Model 3 RWD and Model Y will qualify for the full Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) $7,500 if you take delivery in January or February 2023 (of course, if Tesla runs promotions or drop prices in early 2023, there could be better savings then). This is better in several major ways:
  • Lower sales tax because this is a discount, not a tax credit
  • You get the discount immediately, instead of having to wait until 2024 when you file taxes for 2023
  • You get 10,000 Supercharger credits, which is valued at between $500 and $900
  • If you're financing, you don't have to pay interest on the $7,500
  • (For some people) If you didn't qualify for the tax credit due to being over the income limit, you don't have to worry about that at all
  • 12/29/2022 UPDATE: IRS published its list [irs.gov], and some vehicles will not qualify for the tax credit that starts in 2023; of note, Model Y 5-Seat does not qualify because it passes the $55,000 limit, whereas the Model Y 7-Seat does qualify because it is below the $80,000 limit.
  • 01/04/2022 UPDATE: The 10,000 Supercharger miles (which is actually 4,000 kWH) have been added to the Tesla App. Check Settings > Loot Box.
Author's Note: This is a deal thread, not a political thread or a thread for people who dislike Tesla. Please refrain from going off topic or thumbing down this thread. You have every right to hate Tesla and its CEO, but please don't thumb down a thread related to Tesla simply because of that. Slickdeals is a deal-hunting forum above all else, and I'd greatly appreciate it if we treat threads in Hot Deals as deal threads and nothing else. Thank you.

I hope this helps,

Quote from PennStateFan :
Before the pandemic started, the same model Y car was priced under $50K. Although inflation and supply network has caused prices to increase, but based on margins Tesla still seems to be doing well. $7500 rebate will be available for a while and as competition gets fierce, prices will go down. So unless someone needs a vehicle right away, I think it's worth noting to wait. Plus I don't think many people will still jump considering the interest rates, even as the rebate becomes available in January. My 2 cents. Buy if you need it otherwise waiting isn't the most terrible idea.
agree! Tesla is well ahead of the game and to dust competition they can afford to cut prices at least 20% . auto industry cyclical in nature and with weaker economy prices fall more. Elon is working on cheaper 25k car as well. with EV credits it could be cheaper.
2023-24 recession will be good news for EVs and end of road for ICE vehicles.

Quote from PreetS3532 :
I just took the delivery on December 17th for the 3750 credit on the Y. This is infuriating after having taken the leap to do business with Tesla, especially since it was claimed that the $3750 credit would last the remainder of the month..
The extra $3750 is a lot of money, but there's no guarantee they would have held/had your car from the 17th until today.

I almost bought a 2023 Model 3 Performance last night from existing inventory. Now, there are zero in stock. So getting $3750 is better than not getting a car, at all.

For the past 6 months I have been looking to get a car and I was leaning towards a Tesla. Between very bad and repeat quality issues and utter lack of service I really dont think Teslas are worth it. Even with these bogus discounts and tax rebates. (Check with your accountant - there is an income limit to qualify for EV tax credits - in a two working household, you will easily cross that limit)
I tried my best to look past these issues and try to justify the purchase, but looking at my friends and their frustration with service issues, I am glad I held back. You turn on the AC, watch the range plummet. Before you buy - Rent it on Turo or Hertz for a day and take it for spin on all the roads you normally traverse. I did this - glad I did - and it wasnt for me. Cars in general are bad 'investments', Teslas are the worst of the lot from an investment standpoint. Please rent for a day before you buy - chances are you may not like it. The insurance premiums are very high and be prepared to set it aside for a few weeks to few months if there is a service issue. The supply chains have not been resolved - they are actually getting much worse.
After 6 months of research and back and forth - they are not worth the high price, you do not get what you pay for.

Their Solar City product and service are a bigger joke than their cars.

In the mean time, check out the new 2023 Toyota Prius Prime AWD - its a beauty and a beast.

How tf you gonna put the OTD price in the title? It's car, there are different models, with different options. It's not an Xbox man.

Made a service appointment in the app. Got service where I was, which had changed since the appointment. Digital invoice, auto pay. Easiest service ever experienced. Fwiw
Same here...once they came to my house, another time I dropped it off and they gave me $100/day in Uber credits.

Better than Toyota, maybe worse than Ferrari...I don't know.

Car maybe nice but everyone's have nightmare experience with service. No thank you!
My 2018 model x has only been in for a couple of services and all times have been fantastic. It's very regional and depends on how many service locations are near you. I was fortunate to have two and be equidistant from both. Some service was via mobile tech, in my driveway.

Company has grown leaps and bounds since 2018.

I had my car serviced a couple of times and nothing but stellar experience. The technicians were knowledgable and very nice.

The most recent Consumer Reports really hammered the Tesla brand. It is one of the lowest for reliability. The Nissan Leaf was much better, but of course it does not have the range of a Tesla.
