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

Edit
I see. Now you said used its for new only
Also in cold weather using the heat only compounds the problem as it is using battery power to heat the cabin.
So basically the colder it gets, the more range you will lose.
Yesterday there were bunch of Y Long Range, but no Performance, unfortunately.
Some EVs can lose up to 35% of their range in freezing conditions.
Barron also warned that it could take longer to charge your vehicle in colder temperatures, so you'll want to factor in more time for that.
He also recommends using you seat and wheel warmers instead of your car's climate controls.
LOL, yeah, I've tried using just the heated seat and wheel, my legs and feet were freezing, that doesn't work
Thanks for sharing the deal, the details and history TofuVic. Repped.
The delivery agent told me the free supercharging miles will appear in my account on January 6th.

I have a loaded Model 3 Performance and had it 2 years in NJ, and will be moving to an IONIQ or similar when they become more available. The car is awesome BUT getting service is a nightmare. I am required to commute to my office twice a week for the last year and I've had gremlins since day 1. Random rattles and noises from quarter panels (still not fixed). Screen blurs when it drops below freezing (fixes once car heats up). Seat wear (I'm 5'10, 180lb) and the driver seat has become pretty uncomfortable (I've added a cushion). All of these things are under warranty, but it's insane to get service. The seat replacement (Tesla Lawrence Township) has ETA of August 2023!

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.

Suddenly that 2/BR Mtn View Apt not lookin too shabby. My roommates & I carpool in a Tesla, 50° - I'd better wear a jacket today.
Heard you have to buy the charger separately. I bought it as well. But they will be shipping it.
