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,

However, I do want the boombox back. Indeed the ice cream truck made me a big hit while pick up kids at elementary school.
Even 1 felt like 2+. You put in 2 on interstate, tailgaters go berserk like you're not committed enough to pass lane. laugh out loud

WOW!

I don't think this was expected. Basically they're saying all Model Ys are 'cars' and fall under the $55K limit, unless you get the 7-seater.

What's weird is the 5-seat ID.4 is on the list as eligible at 80k rather than 55k- while the 5-seat Model Y and Mach E are at 55k- despite all of em being generally SUV shaped.

It wouldn't surprise me if that list ends up being revised in the near future.... on top of that there's a critical minerals component to the rebate (half of it!) that currently all cars on the list will get because the IRS is late publishing guidelines for it... but they're supposed to do so by April- at which point a LOT of cars on the list could potentially fall off of it depending on that guidance.



THAT said there appears to also be a potential loophole in that commercial vehicles get to bypass a lot of the requirements to qualify for the credit-- and treasury classifies leased vehicles as commercial (even if they're normally regular passenger vehicles)-- so leasing potentially lets you capture the full $7500 credit regardless of what model, trim, or MSRP you buy (and regardless of your income level too-- because it's the lease company actually getting the rebate and passing it through in the lease price).

I used 1 100% of the time-- was the only way to avoid having folks constantly cutting in front of you in the 2 or larger gap... the fact I lost it when I got into the beta, even on the highways where it's not running the beta code, was pretty annoying.


Quote from SamS :
As someone that uses FSD beta almost daily, I don't see how radar magically fixes it. It just does stupid stuff, like wandering into incorrect lanes, pretending that red lights aren't even there, etc.

It can do some amazing things, for sure. But FSD is just way harder than anyone probably ever thought.

Radar could immediately fix at least 3 issues

1) Better close-to-the-car views for parking, smart summon, etc... esp. in light of the USS being removed.

2) Better cross-traffic speed and distance detection at partly obstructed intersections-- esp given the limited field of view of the B-pillars unless the car creep forward enough.

3) I'd get the 1 setting back on the highway Smilie


(and if the new radar is both front and rear- though I sort of doubt it is- it'd also allow them to add rear cross-traffic detection)

Only if you're going to register it in the state they say. When you complete the paperwork, if you list a wrong registration state, your bill of sale will be rejected.

Apparently the car/SUV designation for the Federal program relies on GVWR vs. traditional car/SUV definitions.

I picked up my new Y yesterday. I feel like this is a great deal considering the rebate program probably wont be as high as the federal rebate will be. Then again the car is much more expensive than it was a year ago.

I expect we might see some price cuts this year considering how their stock is doing and new competition coming up. I dont think any of the competition is really true competition consdiering range and technology tesla has.

A few things steer me towards tesla. The car is so popular there is alot of aftermarket support. Future repairs might be easier than any other vendors. Autopilot is a huge selling point for me. Iv had a Tesla for 6 years and cant live without this feature now.

I want to point out something to my fellow slickdealers. They no longer give the voucher but I asked and they gave me a free mobile charger!

Tesla just text saying I won't be taking delivery tomorrow. Now I'm stuck. Lose $250 fee for canceling all together or lose $7500 credit for taking delivery in January but get my car. I ordered a 5 seater Y. And I'll also lose the 10,000 supercharging.

Can you elaborate more about the free mobile charger? How do we ask for that? 🙏

You're actually in a good place because they still need to move the car. Ask them what they can do. Also, the delivery dates aren't set in stone. Find out where your car is and what the holdup is. You may be able to go to it vs it coming to you.

The delivery for our 2018 was a mess with 3 different date changes and final delivery actually take place at a dealership. I was out of town for work so had to book flights to come back twice to find out they moved it--lost $1000 right there on those flights. This is something they definitely need to improve.

But since then, we've not had to do anything to the car besides replace the rear tires. And this is a welcome change since I have lists of stuff that has to be done on all my other cars. This 'zero maintenance business model' is a game changer for me. I just charge it, drive it, and enjoy it. I'm done with driving anything else.

Thanks for your comment. I'm not as upset as earlier but still feel they need to own up on their end when delivery falls through like this. I'm a first time buyer and not a good impression already. I suggested to them to change to a Y 7 seater for January delivery so I can at least get the federal $7500 tax credit. I'll still lose the supercharging miles but that's a loss that's easier to swallow than $7500.
