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

Quote from SamS :
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.
Of course it's all cost cutting. And therein lies the argument Tesla makes with every single feature removed. 'It's no longer necessary.' so many 'legacy items' in my M3. The only one whose absence hurts my passenger can testify to, is lumbar. πŸ˜‚

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.


As with any Trend, there are those late to the game... I remember when I moved from Socal to Colorado back in the early 2000s and those girls out there were still wearing Juicy and Von Dutch hats like it was in style! LOL

No disagreement from me, but many other cars in the same price range have had regular cost-cutting/decontenting.

My current car has the legacy Atom-based MCU2, but it has the passenger lumbar. I'd much rather have the faster AMD-based MCU3 and lose the passenger lumbar as a trade-off.

Just because they took a few things away, doesn't mean they haven't invested in other improvements.

Everyone can make their own choice if the decontenting still makes any car "worth it".

you'll get no disagreement from me MCU2 processing power is relative trash. Multimedia is a time capsule load time but the general UI updates are nice. I bought this car to stomp neighbors' Panamera on a straight line, Everything else is a bonus. but I don't think they're investing in whatever the current tooled processor is. it's probably more expensive to get that atom based fab at this point

Is it true that Tesla sold a most all their inventory in the U.S. with this program already? When did the car go up so much in price? I was considering the 3/Y in the 40-50k range, but now it's absurd even with the discount.

Based on spot checks I've done myself for various ZIP codes, and anecdotal Reddit evidence, I would say yes, all existing inventory appears to have disappeared due to this offer.

Only the Model Y Performance shows as potentially available (via custom order) in December 2022. My guess - they have several of these en route, and will probably go the extra effort to get one of these delivered to you this upcoming week. This is a profitable model, so they probably cranked out a few extra as they got the last few made and loaded up on haulers, recently.

Considering the price of the Model Y AWD has gone up $17k since 2020, I think they could permanently offer this $7500 discount even in 2023.

'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!
Gasp! Almost like you're an enthusiast. Isn't this what we've been saying all along?

You're going to Bimmerfests and what not. That is enthusiast shit! Good for you, but most people aren't like that. But if you buy a Tesla you have to be like that. Soooooo many QC issues. It really is a piece of shit (for a "luxury vehicle").

Now you're comparing Tesla to Jeeps. LOL. What a comparison! If that's the best comparison you got you know the Tesla is a piece of shit. EVeryone knows Jeeps are pieces of shit and you just compared the two in the same sentence. Yikes!

Well you do you and justify your purchase. But your resell value went into the toilet. LOL. Probably why you're so salty.

Demand is being pushed back very badly because of the new tax credit that starts January 1st, also last I checked there's a recession going on and inflation is still very high.
Pretty sure a recession wasn't called yet? Maybe mid 2023 or early 2024. You are 6 -15 months early.
