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 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.
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.

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.

8.1 million vehicles recalled. Mostly sedans. Good luck!

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.

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.
