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

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
A BEV has to keep the battery warm for it to function properly and it must produce it's own heat so it cannibalizes itself in cold weather to keep the operating temperature of the battery where it needs to be. The colder it is the more energy it needs to keep warm, so more range is lost the colder it gets.

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.

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

I took delivery of my Model Y a few days ago with $7500 off, and I love it.
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.

Thanks for that explanation. Although chances I'd encounter this are rare, there are shortcomings combined with high price of battery only EV that I may just avoid. Thanks

TLDR - Do some deep research first.
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!

Moved from a Model 3 to a Kia EV6 here. Unfortunately, I hear that Kia and Hyundai aren't great when it comes to servicing their EVs either, primarily because they're so new, and technicians often aren't familiar/trained for them

My friends 2020 Model Y has a lot more features than the new 2023 Model Y

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.

https://youtu.be/081cM9b6J98
I didn't realize this is a serious thing until I drove one myself. You are right the new Model Y doesn't have many features even cheaper cars have. Now I am thinking of what is the return policy on this.nod

Those of you trading in Model 3/Y for a new one did you need to return the charging kit with all the connectors?

I wasn't happy that this doesn't have many features my older car had. Like warning vehicle coming from the sides when I am backing up, not warning when we are close to the wall while backing up etc. The car interior, climate control, speed etc are better though. But missing some basics.

Heard you have to buy the charger separately. I bought it as well. But they will be shipping it.

I can let you know on Friday ha. The more I think about it, the more likely I am to not bring the mobile connector.
