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.

These are essentially throw away cars. The price is going to crater to create any real demand for this trash. I will stick with my Highlander until they sell Tesla's for 1/2 as much as the Highlander which is way more reliable better vehicle.

I ask because ordering now, there is no guarantee that one would get deliveries by March 31st.

Thanks for the comprehensive reply! I'm sure it helps many people who are considering going EV. So would you do it again and buy another EV knowing what you know now?
It's anecdotal, but my Model S has had significantly better battery performance than that poster's Y and my S lived years of its life in Ithaca, NY. Btw, after 10 years and 120k miles, it still gets 250 miles on a full charge (validated this weekend) from its original 265 miles. YMMV though.

Well, I am not sure where Tesla is getting the information about March of 2023 because on IRS website there is no mention of it.

Whatever org in the government is putting out the regulations on the battery composition part of the rebate said they will release that guidance around March, which is when the old rule ($7500 off) would go away, and the new rule ($3750 + $3750) would get phased in. This could result in teslas getting half the rebate. Gov didn't figure this out in time, so they simply carried foreard the old policy until they define the new one. The discussion here is - take advantage of the old policy while you can.

You expect IRS to be transparent?

You can't claim the credit until you file your 2023 taxes in 2024. At that time if either your 2023 or 2022 MAGI is below the cap then you qualify for the credit.

You can't claim a tax credit on your 2022 taxes for something that didn't occur until 2023 (you buying the car).
This is wrong, the IRS website says you can use the current year or the year prior.

Flip phones were reliable as well. It's okay to stay in the dinosaur age but better if society make advancements

With the $7,500 California rebate + $7,500 federal tax credit, Model Y or 3 becomes a no Brainer.

What proof do you have to show as a NJ resident.
NJ license for registration.
If bought online, add registration details and $4K or $2K will be deducted right away from total.

You can use the current year or prior year AGI for income qualification. However, you can claim the credit on the year when your take delivery of the vehicle. If your delivery is in 2023, you can claim the credit in 2023 taxes when you file them in 2024 April.

It says you can use 2022 for your income qualification, NOT a credit deduction for 2022.
Very big difference.... and a guaranteed audit.

Can we do down payment for Tesla cars using one or more credit cards ? Looking to see if I can get some extra discounts using credit card bonus offers /points
The answer is no . Credit card payment is limited to just the initial $250 fee

Thank you for clarification. Makes much more sense.
