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

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!
This is one of the biggest issues I've found with my MY. I've given up on rattles and squeaks- life is too short to be running to the service center all the time. The 6 trips I've made to this point are enough.

The service centers also have a habit of creating more problems via chips, scratches and dirtying up interiors. EVs are too narrow of a segment right now to attract good tech talent. It doesn't make a lot of sense for the good ones to work on them. They're better off working on ICE and having a skillset with almost limitless job opportunities.

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 hope future software updates take care of that part...I use those missing features a lot 😀

That's crazy. Definitely a hard pass. Tesla QC has gone down the toilet.

But there are significantly more issues than in past years. Why? Where's the disconnect?

Then cite the source. 'significantly more' is not a stat.

is it really that bad?..also can you confirm if Mobile charger kit was included with Model Y? or did you have to pay for it?
You're going to drop $60,000 on a car and you're concerned about a $230 charger?

You're about to drop $60,000 on a car and you don't know all it's features?

FWIW, I have two EVs and I've never used the charger that came with the cars except a few times before my home charger got installed. That was 110v...something I would recommend in emergencies only.

As for QC, it's never been better for Tesla. Of course they're going to be more complaints...Tesla is selling 100000s more cars than they were a few years ago. Plus many buyers are active online (for example, Tesla forums have a lot more users and posters than other car forums)...they like to talk, and for those with bad experiences, complain.

Can anyone provide info on , if Tesla includes a standard charger ? I have a 240v outlet in the garage and was wondering if I need to buy any charging accessories or if something comes standard that I can plug in? Thanks

You'll need to buy the NEMA adapter ($45)which will plug into the provided mobile connector. They used to provide it but that was many years ago. I also use 240v garage outlet.

They do not include chargers anymore.

My recommendation would be to buy an industry standard wall charger that'll work with all cars, including Teslas. Just use the adaptor that Teslas do still come with.

A lot of people are buying the proprietary Tesla wall charger and that seems silly to me. No reason to lock oneself into something unnecessarily.

Or he can just spend $45 and plug it into the outlet that he already has. Smilie

Edit: +$245. I forgot that they no longer include the mobile connector
