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

Did you ask for a voucher to redeem for the free mobile charger or they just gave you the charger when you asked? Just trying to replicate this Smilie

I asked about the voucher. Was told that's not available anymore but they went to see what they can do. Gave me a mobile charger

I'm as surprised about it as you are. I did read someone else had the same experience

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.
That's screwed up. They have the option to honor prices and promos if one can pay right now.

Model S and X now qualify for the $7500 off and 10K Supercharger miles.
IF YOU TAKE DELIVERY BEFORE DEC 31, 2022

Gonna be very difficult, but maybe someone will take advantage.

Take delivery of limited local Model S and Model X new inventory now through December 31 for $7,500 credit and 10,000 miles of free Supercharging.

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.
Their sales to delivery process leaves A LOT to be desired. I've bought nearly 20 cars over my life (for friends, etc too), and their delivery experience is bar none the worst. I think you're asking a reasonable request and who knows they may come back and 'find' your car and be able to deliver tomorrow. EEK!

And you know, I've got a super-crazy idea--if the car is at the Fremont or TX factory, tell them you'll just fly out to it and take delivery--even if the flight is $1000, you're still ahead in the end.

Their sales and delivery process is definitely bad and that's an understatement. The sales advisor is unhelpful and probably read things off the script. After numerous calls, I finally got my scheduled delivery appointment at 1PM tomorrow. That being said, tomorrow's weather is going to be raining all day and they have no indoor space for me to inspect the car. The sales advisor's attitude is like take it or leave it. I can't imagine what's like after taking delivery and having to have them fix things. When asking the location of the car, they have no idea, but hoping it will arrive by the appointment time. I'm seriously considering just walk away with the $250 lost without having to deal with the hassle.

Really loving this car. Quick thing! Cant believe it can go even faster if I pay the 2k software update. Im sure some day tesla will discount it and then ill get it. Dont really need it but if it was 1k, I would get it.

Car is much roomier than I thought it would be. I had previously thought the interior was lacking but I actually like it. Seems like a top notch car and not too bad for 60k.

Build quality seems to be excellent on mine. Mine is an Austin, Texas build. Reading the forums, it seems Austin might be putting out better build cars versus Fremont factory. You can check your vin number to see where its made. I think PA designates Austin and PF designates Fremont

For your VIN, "P" designates 2023 model year, so the "A" is indeed Austin, "F" is Fremont.

The reason that Austin builds can be viewed as a 'better build' is literally due a difference manufacturing. Not a QC difference. The Model Y that comes from Austin (which is possibly all?) have a new, single-cast rear sub-frame. So that's certainly a good thing.

Maybe I should take a TikTok video recording myself inspecting the car holding a flashlight in the rain? I don't think I am asking too much given there are so much horror stories about Tesla quality issues. I'm just trying to do my own due diligence. I'm sure there are Tesla fan boys that will take any thing Elon gives them, but sorry I'm not one of them.

Is it reasonable asking if there's a cover spot where I can inspect the car? I was told no. I guess some ass could comment that I should blame or ask Tesla to move the cloud.
