Deal Details
Tesla has dropped the base price of the Tesla Model Y from $65,990 down to $52,990. This price reduction means the Model Y now qualifies for the $7,500 Federal Tax Credit (details here).

Thanks to Community Member MurraytheDemonSkull for finding this deal.

Additionally, the base prices of all Tesla vehicles have been reduced. The base Model 3 is now $43,990, which is $3,000 lower than before. The Model 3 Performance is now $53,990, which is $9,000 lower than before, and now qualifies for the tax credit.

Editor's Notes

Written by RazorConcepts
  • This is $13,000 lower (19% savings) than the previous base price.
  • Factoring in the tax credit, the price of the Model Y today is $20,000 less than one purchased in December 2022.
  • To qualify for the federal tax credit, one must not exceed the following adjusted gross income limits:
    • $300,000 for married couples filing jointly
    • $225,000 for heads of households
    • $150,000 for all other filers
  • The tax credit is not refundable, which means one must have federal tax due to take advantage of it. If the tax due is less than the credit amount, one can only claim the credit up to the amount of the tax due.
  • Refer to the forum thread for additional deal discussion.

Quote from TofuVic :
If anyone is interested in hard numbers to figure out how much less expensive it is now compared to Tesla's best deal of 2022, I bought a Tesla Model Y Long Range 7-Seater with white interior in late December 2022.

Excluding taxes and fees, I paid $63,940. It's now $59,630, which is $4,310 less, and it is eligible for the $7,500 tax credit. That means if I didn't buy it in December and bought it today, I would have saved $11,810 + sales tax, so a bit over $12,000 in savings I missed. (I got 10,000 Supercharger miles, which is worth somewhere between $500 and $1,000.) With taxes and fees, I paid $71,578.55 in total.

I hope this helps,
Tofu Vic
I'm right there with you bud. Picked mine up on the 29th of December and now this… 😣😣

Quote from EfficientWalrus7040 :
Donating to charity is a write off. That reduces your taxable income. A tax credit is a dollar for dollar credit against your tax bill. If you owed $10,000 you'd now owe $2,500. If you owed $500 you'd be getting a rebate of $7,000.
Not sure that's correct. Believe you have to owe at least $7500 in taxes to get that full $7500 credit. So if you only owed $5000 in federal taxes, you'd only get $5000 back out of the $7500. At least, that's how I've always understood this to work historically.

The 7 seat option on model Y is now 4k. Did this go up today? I thought it was 3K before.

Quote from ChronoTriggered :
So this means:
1. $7500 cash back after we file our federal taxes (assuming you don't owe any taxes)?
Or
2. $7500 tax write off (similar to donating $7500 to charity)?
This is a tax credit, not a tax deduction.

Deductions come off of your total income, to give you a lower adjusted gross income (IE: you made 100K, but $7,500 deduction makes it an AGI of $92,500).

A tax credit works directly to your tax obligation. IE, you were expecting $3000 back, now you're getting $10,500 back.

This sort of makes me feel cheated. I took delivery on New Year eve. Basically, my car depreciated 14k in 12 days.

Quote from dvrrajesh :
Hmm. Looks like I wouldn't get all of 7.5k if I go this route. Another way would be transfer stock from my account ( As a father ) as gift and she sells the stock this year and there would be capital gains.
She could get a Second job for a bit and not pay any taxes.. The year has just started.

I didn't understand how the rebate works so I went and read about it on nerdwallet. Basically you can only get the credit if you owe after doing taxes. It states on the article that one way is to cash out ira contributions or stocks and normally you would pay capital gains tax. But then this ev rebate would kick in

You need to have a tax liabilities of $7,500 or more to claim the full $7,500 benefit. The payroll withholding is just how much you "pre-paid" your tax liabilities based on your estimate.

If your estimated tax liabilities for 2023 is $3,000 and your payroll withholding is $10,000, you will get "your" $10,000 payroll withholding plus $3,000 from $7,500 EV rebate.

Do I tell payroll at work just simply set aside $7500/24 paychecks for me?
Quote from crazycreations :
you can adjust your withholding until you reached somewhere close to 7500 for the year
