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

I don't think you have to do it with any car. It's just a good idea to check the entire car, with any car you buy. It just seems Tesla gives you less hassle to repair small issues. Toyota is having a crap load of QC issues. American cars never stopped having QC issues. Nothing new.
Well with any other car there is no checklist to make sure you're not getting a lemon. That's solely a tesla problem.

If you're in Northern California, Tesla dropped the Y price by $1000 to $65990. I'm going to see if they can drop another 2k so it matches what they originally priced the Y at before the price hikes.

Go on any car enthusiast forum and they have a checklist for respective models.

There's no checklist with Toyota Tundra to make sure you're not getting a lemon,
but there's a bunch of people getting lemons! LMAO I'm just not sure how a checklist
assures anyone of not getting a lemon. I honestly don't know about Tesla. I don't own
one, but been reading on EV cars. I'm still learning. LMAO

If you're buying a car like some investment, then you're getting bad advice. Musk is getting some of the profits, but who cares? Except for you. LMAO
It's not a secret, and it's not even remotely controversial, that Musk's behavior (esp re Twitter) has harmed the Tesla brand.

But google and other car and you won't get nearly the number of hits you get with the Telsa. Sounds like it's a requirement to go through a checklist else you'll miss some pretty big issues.

And you're talking about going to a car enthusiast website to find checklists for other vehicles. Enthusiasts, okay. That makes sense. After all, that's what an ENTHUSIAST would do. But not your average person. Now with the Tesla it seems the average person does have to go through a checklist due to the myriad of issues you can encounter. All this for a supposed luxury car? lol

I google 'Toyota Tundra checklist' and the responses are for the maintenance schedule.
Then I google Tesla checklist and there are COUNTLESS hits on what to look for when you have a Tesla delivered, due to the number of issues you can encounter. Completely different.

Well if you want to end up with a car that's more expensive, less value and lot worse build quality than Tesla is a better option. Otherwise wait.
What do you mean less value these cars hold value exceptionally well, did you bump your head again?

You're being pedantic and there are new car pick up checklists for every car. Every new car can have problems. I've bought 12 new cars since 1998, and all have had QC issues upon pickup. Even $$ BMWs I've picked up directly from the factory in Munich.
