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,

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
Buy the $230 mobile connector and you should be set.

This is much better deal than waiting for the tax credit next year even if one can meet the income limit. I just ordered a 7-seater Y in NorCal, finished all delivery task and will see if I can drive it home (LA) tomorrow or Friday. I'm here for a business trip and hopefully this won't be too much surprise to wife…it's hard to find one in inventory with specific configuration. NorCal is the best shot. Check ev-cpo.com for inventory that's far away from your zip.
Do you have to pay before delivery is confirmed?

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
Or one can spend ~$450, charge faster, and keep it forever because it's not proprietary.

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.

Yeah I totally understand , not advocating for the Tesla wall connector. Mine came with mobile connector so installed 240v NEMA.on 50a breaker.

The person that I replied to already has a 240v outlet.

Tesla charger is more convenient if all you own is a Tesla. I have a Juicebox (also have a Bolt), and it's a minor PITA to charge the Tesla. Not enough to make me pay to switch, but if I had to do it again I would just get the Tesla connector.

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.

But that mobile connector still charges 3miles/hour which is beyond pathetic.. If he is already have 240V, isn't the best to get the Wall Connector?

I'm guessing you don't have a Tesla. Model 3/Y charge at 30/27 miles per hour with mobile connector plugged into 50amp 240v outlet (nema 14-50). 37 miles is for gen 1 mobile connector only (which you can't buy anymore, but it's what I use at home).

Is mobile charger enough for charging at supercharger stations? They sell 47000 car without any charger!

You DON'T need your own cable to charge at Tesla Supercharger. It has its own cable, you simply plug-in.

Huh? You put the adapter on and leave it there. There is no PITA. For my car, I haven't removed mine in the 2.5 years I've owned my car.

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.

Right. But at the same time, for most people like 90% of the time, they're not charging at superchargers. So it is silly when manufactures don't include an essential component for a car to work.

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