Deal Details
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

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.
Is it being pedantic to say that recent Teslas are having a slew of issues? And there are countless hits when you google Tesla checklist but not when you google other manufacturer + checklist? Teslas have a real problem. I understand that other cars can too. But Telsas are consistently having problems. It sounds rare to get a Tesla WITHOUT issues. That's not okay. Thank goodness for the checklists, I guess?

I think general rule of thumb is not to buy near the end of a given quarter but Tesla owners in general also seem more nitpicky about fit and finish than people who buy most automobiles. I never looked at any other purchased car so intently & a lot of that was due to Tesla forums. I also had my M3P in shop 3 or 4 x for window wind noise & they had to replace the windshield twice. Unfortunately door window couldn't really be fixed due to single pane frameless design, now this is no longer an issue with dual pane. I just don't think about it anymore, overall very satisfied in the purchase, 3 years now.

Tesla quality is quantifiably near the bottom of auto makers but when the cars are actually working as designed they are arguably better than most gas cars. This is why they still sell well. If these were gas cars though, with the quality that they have, they'd be out of business by now.

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.
I have one since May...I've had one minor service issue, which is on par with most other cars I've owned. I've leased a dozen+ cars in the past 20 years (35-55K MSRP, many makers). My M3SR+, which is the cheapest Tesla, is the best, and most fun, car I've ever owned.

If Tesla had all the issues you describe, then why do I see tons of garages with multiple Teslas. And friends who are on their 3rd or 4th Tesla? There are other EVs out there.

If you don't like Tesla, then don't buy one. If Musk bothers you, then don't buy one...although I hope that you do you're homework on every other CEO and business owner.

It's just a car, for goodness sake.

Agree. However its the hype and recent push for EVs that has Tesla sales up. It will be interesting to see in a couple of years how things go especially since the electric grid is not ready.

Lol so true. Its a freaking car, if you like it buy it.
Tesla has a cult following and also has fierce hatred from others.

Nah, Tesla owners are not more nitpicky than others people. Not sure why you would think that.
Please, Tesla nerds hella more nitpicky. I've never seen so many rabid prosumers chatting online about body panel alignment this or under a car with a flashlight fit & finish that. When I bought my Bimmer in Santa Barbara prior to, this level of due diligence wasn't even a thing. And that 3 series had its issues between soft paint, overheating iDrive, & defective timing chain handler yet nowhere near the junk Jeep Patriot it replaced, with lemon overheating Jatco CVT transmission. You know what problems I have now? Nothing comparable. You're just in a salty loop of confirmation bias with your searches. I thank you for the entertainment because you're exactly why I come to these threads.

Confirmation bias? Nah, that actually sounds like YOU. You are saying Tesla owners are more nitpicky because those are the folks you're hanging out with. If you have a source for this nonsense, bring it. Your confirmation bias doesn't count. How do you know when you bought your Bimmer this type of due diligence didn't exist? Because you didn't do that due diligence? LOL, we're not just talking about you, pal. You're saying in general that Tesla owners are more nitpicky. I'm calling bs (rightfully so) and you are talking bout confirmation bias. Yeah, your own. lulz

They sell well because they are considered the New status symbol. Sheeple just eat that shit up.

All custom-build Model 3 now show Jan 2023 delivery window.

I don't see any Y or 3 in stock within 200 miles of Dallas, YMMV.

Looks like the window is closing fast on this one...

Trade in prices in general have dropped like a rock.

I'm currently waiting (48 hours now) for my finalized trade-in offer from Tesla. The range they gave me was low, but almost identical to Carmax.
uploaded pics earlier this afternoon for my trade..its still pending and haven't seen any price yet...am I missing something?

'Bec those are the folks you're hanging out with' - incorrect

'if you have a source' - TeslaMotorsClub, reddit et al. you have the sources as you're continuously engaged in this sky is falling 'do your own research' hyperbole & FUD. It's comical really.

'how do you know when you bought your Bimmer' - because I was actively engaged in bimmerfest & other places before meeting the legend Jon Schafer for pickup.

It and esp the Jeep had some things going on (as mentioned) but Tesla buyers out here with rulers & flashlights between panels on delivery (like that's normal new car buying behavior); weirder still emotionally invested people like you that seemingly don't even own (or wish to own) the vehicle yet have such a devout interest & time to accomplish nothing really. I see 10x Teslas on the road as 3 years ago, clearly YoURE NoT TyPinG FaST EnOuGH!

My friends 2020 Model Y has a lot more features than the new 2023 Model Y

This YouTube video chat changed my mind . The new Model Y should be $30K with all the stuff they removed.

Heck doesn't even have the parking sensors!!! Every cheap car has those now.

https://youtu.be/081cM9b6J98
Looks like he added a note later:The sensors are ultra-sonic-sensors (USS) I messed up and will be turning myself into the police
