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.

He bought it in December'22. Federal tax incentives started 1/1/23.
It wasn't a secret that the new Federal tax rebates were starting on January 1st. Why anyone bought before that is a bit of a mystery.

the blanket battery requirement werent enforced from jan-march.. elon didn't reduced tesla until a few days into jan

hence why some are mad they missed out on the lowered pricing+tax credit .. despite having some 3500/7500 savings in dec..

but if they bought it in dec.. they were rich enough to do it.

Will you just talk more about your Porsche? it breaks up the monotony of the near constant back and forth on tax credit.

Everyone is mixing up language. Yes, you owe your tax liability, but people are using owe in the context of, after you prepare your return, do you need to write a check (owe) or will you get a return. It has nothing to do with the results of your return. It has to do with how much you made, your tax bracket %, and some other factors. If you made enough to owe at least $7500 in federal tax liability, you get the credit.

Good explanation, and that has been explained several times over by some. Not that difficult to understand, honestly, if one really wants to read, focus and understand it right.

Buddy, have you ever been to a country with public transportation? I drive a Porsche not because I want to, but because there are literally no other options in the US.

doesnt matter. driving a porsche is bad for the environment.. they have shitty boomer interior and nickel and dime you on every option. they're slower on the drag strip vs a cheap tesla 3 p model.. cheaper cars like miata/mr2 run circles around them on the curves..

walk is free, environmentally friendly and u don't get taxed at the pump for walking and zero maintenance cost. no tires to replace or oil to check on. can use in all weather condition.

only an idiot will drive a porsche when things that are better are for free.

Apparently the tax credit will be there for many years. The crazy auto market in last 2 years just get tamed a little bit, while still being crazy. Many new electric vehicles are going to follow. Inflation just got tiny bit better. Why the hurry folks? The bigger party has yet to begin.

If someone single had AGI over $150k or married over $300k they would be excluded off the new $7500 credit. I'd suspect many people buying $50k+ cars probably fell into that category. The older federal rebate that Tesla phased out of in 2019 had no income limits.

definitely agree. if someone is absoluately in need of a car in the next 3 months. yea consider a tesla if its in your budget. but if your current car could last 2-3 more years, just wait and chill and let the price drop!

It's not just about where battery is made, also where the % components are sourced. As of now majority part of battery is sourced from china, so depending on IRS where they think the cut off % is. It's extremely vague at this point, hence the uncertainty and the certainty that most likely past of $3750 rebate requirement won't be met post March.

How do tax credits and CVRP work when cosigners are involved?

Context: I have a family member looking to purchase a MY. I'll be cosigning for them. They qualify for CVRP but will not be able to max out the tax credits. I don't qualify for CVRP but could max out the tax credits. If I cosign the transaction, will they be able to apply for CVRP and leave me off the application since we aren't a household? And also, does the new tax credit program allow me to claim the credits as cosigner?

Thank in advance. Just looking to maximize incentives.
