Deal Details
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

Have you completed all possible steps in the Tesla app? They should have either texted you, or emailed you *something* by now.

Your standard range doesnt have the upgraded LFP battery and they made a bunch of equipment standard now on the standard range, before you had to pay to upgrade.. so... no unfortunately you do not have the same car as people getting a model 3 today.
Plus, and I also paid $39990 in June 2021, $46990 (current price) minus 7500 is $39490...which I believe is cheaper! You are paying more for the order fee $250 vs $100, and no charger ($230), but you are getting 10000 supercharger miles. Which is probably worth more.

I bought 3 Tesla's, including a MYP two days ago. According to my experience, Tesla will contact you within 24 hours after VIN # is assigned to your reservation.

No.

And if you don't already have a VIN with a delivery date scheduled, you ain't getting a car before December 31st.
What if they schedule a delivery date after 31st?

If you don't have a date already, your date will likely be after the 31st.

If any of you are still on the fence, please note that some of the options available with older cars are not available in the new 2023 model. We would expect 2023 is the latest and comes with everything from earlier to now. That's not the case. Once you buy, you may be stuck with it. No returns from what I understand. 2023 has some improvements though. But missing some basics you may see discussed before in this thread.

I might not have wrote it in detail as it was discussed by some others before. Basically 2023 model Tesla is missing some options older models had due to the chip shortage - they say.

Are we back to Ultra Sonic Sensors/USS discussion again? Assuming we can believe Tesla, that functionality will be restored, soon. Seeing as though they removed radar without any functional impact, there's a solid chance the cameras will do just as good a job of replacing the physical sensors.

Also missing passenger lumbar support. But, um OK?

What you are gaining (depends on how far you want to go back):
  • (possible) 5MP cameras vs. 1.2MP
  • Much faster MCU/computer for all your interaction with the vehicle
  • Heated steering wheel
  • Heated windshield wipers, side mirrors
  • Upgraded/improved center console
  • Double-pane windows for reduced noise
  • Matrix LED headlights
  • Yellow rear turn signals (Model 3) for improved safety
  • 12V Lithium battery
  • CCS charger support
  • Wireless phone charging
  • Higher-power USB-C replace USB-A ports
  • Single-cast rear frame (Austin-built Model Y)
  • Hepa/Biodefense filter (Model 3)
  • Heat pump (Model 3)
  • Power trunk (Model 3)
  • Improved steering wheel controls (Model 3)

Even much cheaper cars can list many of these options listed above. Lumbar support is useless in my case. But the sensors around the car was big deal for me. Came to know only after buying it as I was used to it with another car. Not sure if "Tesla Vison" will do the job as good as having the sensors - which they claim will have it by updating the software.

I own a 2020 MY with Radar and they probably disabled Radar and soon USS. I am taking deliver of a new MY this week. I guess at this point is to trust Tesla.

My point was not 'look at all the amazing features the 3/Y have at the price point', rather 'look at what was added in context of what was removed'.
