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,
Tofu Vic

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.
Certainly a glass half full perspective and I appreciate that. I suppose that's something I can lean back on but it is still a tough pill to swallow. I think the advertising done on the first round for the month of December was definitely deceiving then. I hope I can get a favorable response from them tomorrow but expectations are low.

Also, I recommend to keep checking the stock. They seem to be periodically going in and out depending on configuration.

I refreshed for a couple of hours and no Model 3 Performance cars showed up within 200 miles.

So I just placed a custom order, that shows expected delivery by end of month. If it doesn't happen, I'm out $250. If it does, the $7500 discount + 10K free Supercharger miles will be nice. It was worth the gamble. I already have a 2020 Model 3 Performance.

Are you sure that 5.5 rating isn't for the 2022 model? The 2023 model hasn't come out yet and seems to be getting rave reviews from across multiple companies/reviewers.

Quite a jump in costs between Model 3 and Corolla Hybrid? I'd expect the typical target market of a Model 3 buyer would be a Lexus sedan (IS/ES?) rather than the near entry level sedan of a Toyota. Isn't the Corolla hybrid ~40% of the cost of Model 3?

That said, I'm a big fan of the new 2023 Prius Prime that's 1/2 the price of a Model 3.

I almost bought a Model Y at the beginning of the pandemic when it cost ~$49k, but waited too long and now the same car costs $66k. Confused
my brother bought a model y for 49K during the pandemic (ordered in mid 2020, picked up 4th week of December 2020). lowest price ever!!!

The 5.5/10 was for 2022.
The 2023 got 8.5/10

With all these electric cars out now from major manufacturers like Audi E-tron, Toyota BZ4X, Volvo C40 Charge, even Vinfast VF8 why would anyone buy a Tesla in this day and age???

Slowest car currently being made vs one of the fastest. Whatever floats your boat

And as a luxury EV, Teslas can be very expensive to insure!
Check with your insurance before buying!!
