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

Non of this is true.

You can charge the vehicles in cold weather. I've seen lots of EVs out on the road over the last week. EVs can charge at home and preheat. Gas cars have to go to the gas station to fill up and you can't preheat it without it being outside. EVs can preheat in the garage.

If you leave your EV parked outside for hours and then try to charge it immediately, then yes it will take some energy to charge to warm the battery before charging.
Yup, and plenty of posts on the Bolt reddit showing people getting ~80% range in -20 F weather.

And the average gas engine gets 15% fewer miles per gallon at 20F than it does at 77F. So the EV range drop off should be in line with what people expect from any car.

Just picked up a 7 seater Red Model Y. If anyone is thinking of getting one, it may be good to do a test drive if you can. I used to have another make Plugin Hybrid which is less than half price of this Model Y. But it was much smoother and quiet while driving compared to Model Y. Model Y can go much faster though. I am not fully happy about this yet. But hopefully I will get used to it.

What size of rim does your model Y have? 19" or 20"?

Agreed. Tesla service is the worse. Their service center has almost zero parts in stock. They remote diag your car and they order the parts in advance of you appointment and sometimes it doesn't arrive on time so you have to reschedule. For the mecanical parts they can't remote diagnose, you will go in and they will tell you to come back several weeks later when the parts arrive.

After reading the article posted, you need to edit your post to say "on short trips the avg gas engine". The fallacy of the article and your argument is the assumption that every trip of a gas vehicle during 20F the user prewarms the engine/vehicle. Unfortunately the posted article has several other fallacies and I recommend finding another source for your argument.

I wonder what temps both of you are talking about. I'm hoping you're both talking 0-30 below and not 30 degrees above? I've heard batteries do have a bad time in cold. I'm must not clear on how bad a time and how cold. Thanks

19 inch wheels.

I didn't want anyone feel like I am advertising another car brand to be honest. It was Ford Fusion Plugin-Hybrid. I had 2020 Titanium Plugin-Hybrid. I believe they stopped making it after that.

Just be warned that Hyundai has the largest engine recall in recent history. Their reliability is the worst in the industry. Good if you live paycheck to paycheck and this is more affordable for now, but in the future the engine will have problems and the car will be basically totaled as a result.

8.1 million vehicles recalled. Mostly sedans. Good luck!

Ford has engine noise, curse of EVs is they dont have an engine noise covering air noise. A sedan vs SUV is also going to be a different level of noise. Model Y have some of the thickest windows possible, much thicker than the ford. Kind of apples vs oranges.

One area with easy improvement is Ford has much more econo style wheels, i definitely recommend trying out some cheap 18" with thicker tires if you dont care about the "aesthetics" of these luxury cars.

Although you are correct in the huge recall, I'm pretty sure Hyundai and Kia have a noticeable above average reliability record. Well above average depending on where you look. That Hyundai Sonata Hybrid may very well still be selling with a mark up to boot. I've always read Hyundai reliability was well above average. Maybe it's change since this recall? I don't know.

Quite a jump in costs between Model 3 and Corolla Hybrid? I'd expect the typical target market of a Model 3 buyer would be a Lexus sedan (IS/ES?) rather than the near entry level sedan of a Toyota. Isn't the Corolla hybrid ~40% of the cost of Model 3?

That said, I'm a big fan of the new 2023 Prius Prime that's 1/2 the price of a Model 3.

I almost bought a Model Y at the beginning of the pandemic when it cost ~$49k, but waited too long and now the same car costs $66k. Confused
New Prius is super nice for what it is.. Guess what it will take a year to get it if you order now.. The Prime isn't even available to order and let alone receiving it..

They removed the lumbar support from passenger side, so not exactly the same car.
