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

They sell well because they are considered the New status symbol. Sheeple just eat that shit up.
Around me there are more Tesla's than any other make of car. At some point it stops being a status symbol... and I'd argue we're past that point around me. People are still buying them though because every trip out I see new ones.

Where are you located?
I placed my order today. The app shows estimated delivery between Dec 29-Dec 31.
Your next step will be to get a VIN assigned. When you see it, you should get a delivery date assigned a few hours later. As soon as you see that date, get your financing and insurance all squared away within the app, ASAP.

There is VIN assigned and I completed most of tasks. I don't see any agreements to be reviewed yet.

Quote from Ting :
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
"How do I know if my vehicle is equipped with ultrasonic sensors?
Starting in early October 2022, all Model 3 and Model Y built for North America, Europe, Middle East and Taiwan are no longer built with ultrasonic sensors and instead rely solely on Tesla Vision to provide Autopilot, Enhanced Autopilot, FSD capability and active safety features.
We will continue this rollout with Model 3 and Model Y, globally, over the coming months, followed by Model S and Model X in 2023.
If you have taken delivery of your vehicle and are curious if your vehicle is equipped with USS, the 12 sensors can be found on the front and rear bumpers of your vehicle."

You should next get a call from someone to pick a date to pickup.

Quote from AndrewinMD :
I always love when companies have these fire sales and loss leaders to boost their sales revenue at the end of a quarter to reduce impact on the share price from poor numbers. Tesla's stock has been getting hammered lately, and this seems like an attempt to raise the year-end revenue to compensate.

Will the Tesla 3 qualify for the new $7500 rebate starting on 1 Jan?
They go hardcore at the end of every year.. And by all measure still pretty good share price at 9x $F 400B mkt cap. Let's not over think it.

To meet end-of-year numbers.

For 2023, only the RWD Model 3 falls under the $55K MSRP limit needed to fall under the $55K cap under the Federal credit program. And Tesla doesn't make many of those compared to the AWD/Performance versions at higher margins/prices.

The best deal for SD'ers was either the Model 3 AWD or Performance versions with a $7500 instant discount, as they won't be eligible for the Federal program. Plus you don't have to pay tax on the $7500, or wait to take it off your tax liability when you file in 2024. Savings today is better than savings in >1 year.

7k isn't cheap and I'm sure Tesla is cooking something else. If the profitability goes down from last year (per car) won't investor's notice?
Also they chopped the hardware sensors in the recent models. Anyway to get that back?

I won't pretend to speculate on their entire end-of-2022 strategy, as none of us know all their financials. A lot of times free cash flow is a more important metric than gross margins.

Hardware/USS sensors aren't coming back. You can see here directly from Tesla [tesla.com] indicating they're pulling them off of upcoming Model X and S, too. Cost cutting? Who knows. I have them on my current Tesla and I can't say there's ever been a time where the cameras wouldn't have provided the same amount of information I need in order to judge distance while parking.

Even though Tesla says "At this time, we do not plan to remove the functionality of ultrasonic sensors" in current cars, that doesn't mean they won't change their minds in a few months and 'shut them off' of existing cars (like they did with radar) and use the cameras to accomplish the same functionality.
