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: +$245. I forgot that they no longer include the mobile connector
Again, doesn't make sense to tie oneself to Tesla when we all have EV driving family and friends that don't have Teslas, and ourselves may not even have a Tesla in 2- 3 years or anytime down the road.
There are countless times family and friends have visited me and been able to use my charger on their cars. It's nice to offer them that convenience if I choose.
I don't see how is that enough unless you already have 240V wired to your garage..

As for friends/family, I live in LA and no one has asked to charge up at my house yet. It is not something I've seen a lot of in my neighborhood.

The best option would be to own both types but most people aren't going to drop $2k+ (chargers and line installs) to use one type once in a while or down the road.

Personally, I'm not a road trip guy, and didn't use a supercharger for the first 1.5 years I owned the car.
