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,

If you're ordering a Model 3, you're not going to get any federal tax rebate for 2023 delivery, as the max price for a qualifying car is $55K. SUV (i.e. Model Y) is $80K.
I can only assume this is a troll.
I got a M3 SR+ earlier this year. Absolutely love it. I live in the hills of LA, and Tesla's are probably the most popular car right now. And I have only met one owner who wouldn't buy another one.
But demand has sharply fallen and pretty sure we'll start seeing pricing at the same rate as when the pandemic started. Plus remember interest rates continue to rise and not everyone has $50K sitting around for a car (they may have it but that's likely for a rainy day fund).
My advice, if you don't need it, then don't buy it. Watch as prices go down as demand for vehicles have gone down. Even look at used car prices and how sharply they have fallen.
Let's also not forget the 4680 structural battery pack and megacast for Model Y produced from TX. Should hopefully improve on quality control.

This matches the $7500 tax credit that you would get through the new EV tax credit that takes effect on 1/1/23.
+$1200 Destination Fee

Model 3 and Y is not worth more than 50k.

Will be interesting to see if that config sticks around into 2023 and beyond, or if goes the way of the mythical "$35K Model 3".
You are from CA, so that makes sense. Let me know how it works out for you
Pro tip go for the moped
