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 livelifeup22 :
That is correct. You will need to adjust your W4 to pay less enough that you will owe at least 7500 next year…and then offset that with this credit.
Your statement is wrong , doesn't matter if you with held 10k through out the year.

Your income will determine how much you owe in federal tax. You will get your withheld money back. Becuase the credit will hit first.

If you owe 11k in tax. 7500 credit will hit first. And you will get back 6500 back from your "prepay" tax from your paycheck

People… the tax credit is up to $7500 applied against ALL the tax you had to pay for the year. It doesn't matter if you "owe" the IRS at the end of the year or are already getting a refund. What happens at the end of the year is based on how much tax your employer withheld from your pay all year. What matters is how much tax you actually ended up paying to the IRS.

Example:
You pay $30,000 in taxes throughout the year via payroll
You do your taxes at the end of the year and you really only had $20,000 in tax liability for the year, so you are already getting a $10,000 refund.
Since you still had $20,000 in tax liability you can apply the entire $7500 EV credit.
Now you are getting a $17,500 refund.

Batter component is irrelevant for Q1 because they aren't issuing guidance until April and they already said everything qualifies until then.





What you prepaid is irrelevant to qualifying. See my previous posts explaining and citing what lines on your 1040 you need to look at.
i see. so i guess u better take what's in their inventory now rather than configuring an order and risk having the car delivered after march 31st

you don't get anything back that you didn't owe.. its not free money out of the air
you don't get back but you don't pay $2500 to the IRS as an example. Is that correct?

I feel like Tesla needs to educate the public on how to actually qualify for this credit they're advertising on their site. I feel my taxes are fairly straightforward and even then, having a tough time figuring out if I qualify.
I would pull up Form 8936 and plug in various numbers to see how it works.

It would be nice of Tesla gives away advanced Autopilot feature as a compensation for the loss for recent buyers... Or some coupon of some sort for discounts on self driving upgrades...

Model 3 driver here for 3 years, get one if you can, you will love it.

Man current rates in TX vary by charger of course, but are between $0.28/kw to $0.34/kw. Some chargers have peak or off-peak rates that are higher/lower than that.
The calculation I was responding to was a model y in California.

a Model 3 gets 4 miles per KWH. It takes 12.5Kwh to get 50 miles.

A Tesla Model 3 costs $4.25 to go 50 miles at 0.34 cents per Kwh.
A Tesla Model 3 costs $2.81 to go 33 miles at 0.34 cents per Kwh.
A Camry hybrid gets 50MPG. It costs $3/gal in dallas.
A 4cyl Camry gets 33MPG. It costs $3/gal in dallas.

IMO, if you cant charge at home... dont buy an EV.

Quote from Abhi88 :
Cheaper electric cars will be around 20-25k in next 2 years, dont worry right now. Hybrid is the way to go if buying now and keep for next 3-4 years so that the car become reliable with faster charging speeds + better charging infrastructure. Really dont know how will these car survive any flooding like cali and florida. Even areas like houston
Hybrids are literally the worst of both worlds because you pay for a mediocre version of two drivetrains. You don't get the safety benefits of an electric car (low center of gravity with large battery pack, front crumple zone, still gotta pay for gas maintenance).
