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

Did you get that in writing?

I would almost believe it if the opposite was true (Supercharging miles don't cost them much at all).

But, good luck to you!
I just took an extra step to call to find out and that's the information I got from a sales manager. Were also told to expect an adjustment check in the first 2 weeks of Jan 2023 and good luck to everyone who took delivery in Dec 2022.

Just in case you really want to take delivery now... you could be missing out the radar that Tesla may be putting back [techcrunch.com]... and your car would be in resale disadvantage.

But again, if you can afford FSD, 7500 isn't a factor...

They'll deliver it in Jan/Feb/Mar/April. EDIT: you can of course cancel, and be out the $250 charge.

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.
thanks man

Hard to say. Just like gas, electricity has market supply and demand pricing. Solar is a real thing, especially for new builds.

I'd rather take my chance with electricity, vs. giving OPEC any of my hard-earned money.
Except your electricity comes from fossil fuel.

Not all of it.

And it takes far less fossil fuel usage to take an EV 100 miles than it takes a gas car to go 100 miles.

And this is a deal thread, so per the mods, maybe take the trolling elsewhere OK Thanks.

And as a luxury EV, Teslas can be very expensive to insure!
Check with your insurance before buying!!
My experience was different. It cost me almost about the same (~$50/6month difference) for insuring the new tesla Model Y and then new Toyota highlander.

I don't consider Tesla a luxury vehicle.

Too bad they didn't do this sooner. Just took delivery on my mach e and I'm very impressed so far. Price was a deciding factor and also the mach e still currently qualifies for the 7500 tax credit

Quote from sphere2040 :
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.
I've never heard such a bunch of garbage. First off, you don't own and drive a Tesla. Second, the tax break for a couple is 300K...plenty of dual income families earn less than that. Third, as a Tesla owner, not only have I had very few problems, but the service has been excellent. Fourth, very few cars hold their value...Tesla holds theirs better than most. Range is always a factor with EVs...but my Tesla is vastly superior to my Bolt EUV in every way (except ventilated seats and Sirius!).

I've had two Priuses...really liked them. But considering virtually no one has driven or reviewed the new car, not sure how on earth you can recommend it.

80% of all electricity is fossil sources. Production of EV has higher carbon footprint that gasser cars. The only become greener vs gasser "over lifetime" of owning.

My electric bill went from 11 cents to 31 cents each watt. Screwed green energy agenda.
