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.

Has anyone applied for auto loan and got approved with Tower FCU who is not U.S. citizen or permanent resident alien?
I hope not. But in this new improved goofy world we live in. Who knows! But I doubt it.

Big open today for Tesla, who didn't see this coming... Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)
I wasn't sure how the numbers were going to be taken. Everyone knows why the sales surge happened. We all know margins were reduced. "I" didn't know how the market would define/interpret the numbers. Interesting.

It may say complete but they will likely ask you to submit insurance proof again showing you added the car to your insurance policy. See the 2nd Line says Must include " VIN of Your New Tesla" I'll just take a picture of my current one like you said just to get the box check though thanks!
Yeah, I had the same concern. My/most insurance will insure your for a short time when you purchase a new vehicle. Then you contact your insurer and give them the VIN and the car is now insured. But Tesla appears to want proof to drive off. I'm not sure how my insurer is going to handle that or what proof they'll give. Maybe a statement he's insured? I don't know either.

I spoke to soon on Towers delays. Looks like my Tower loan got preapproved. Does anyone know where I get these documents?

In order to finalize your approval, please provide the following:

Purchased order, including VIN.
and
Original Notarized Specific Power of Attorney signed by all proposed title holders.
New to me. I'm thinking Tower would become your title holder, as in Lienholder.
I don't recall having anything notarized for financing. Yes, I've purchased a few cars in my lifetime. Different procedures?

Download the form it's on tower website and fill it and notarize it. Purchase orde , VIN you have to wait for Tesla to assign one. Once assigned , take screenshot and upload everything . Pretty basic stuff,

What is the breakdown between collision and comprehensive?
2019 Honda pilot. $500ded, comprehensive and collision 100k/300k from progressive is $254/6mo. New progressive quote replacing Honda for MYLR is $715/6mo. My agent is running this now across many insurance companies in case progressive is one of those anti Tesla insurance companies. The downside is I save 10% having auto as a multi discount plan with my homeowners.

Just curious if anyone placed the order on 15th or later and got the VIN already? my status has not changed since more than a week, still showing delivery between Jan 29 to Feb 26. I am assuming it takes at least couple of weeks for delivery after VIN is assigned.
Lucky you! I ordered on the 16th, and I'm still Feb - March 31. I think I'll still make it, but , , ,

All, I'm still confused why we have to send a specific power of attorney to get the loan with Tower. Other lenders don't do that. Anyone else concerned that power of attorney is needed for the auto loan?
I've never experienced even the notarizing, let alone giving power of attorney.

Quote from gemini1234 :
I do not meet the income requirements to get me tax credit of $7500, can any of my relative buy to get tax credit $7500 and later gift car to me? Do I have to pay sales tax when gifted? Option 2, can I be co-owner and still get the tax credit based on one owner income meeting the criteria? The tax credit is for the year 2023 which we file during April 2024 right?
Co-owner name can't remove until file tax return but you are correct co-owner can use $7500 credit if he or she meets criteria

Selling as a gift should avoid any extra sales tax but irs want co-owner name on the car for rebate so you want to ask TurboTax forum this question

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community...00/1116630

One owner can sell car to any one but value cannot be same as a new (like you see lot of plug in on car max or carvana )

"Like" if you will cancel your order if you don't take delivery of the car in time to get the $7500 tax credit.

Quote from ezrider2009 :
SImilar dilemma. App shows estimated delivery of Mar 1 to Mar 24. Guess the tax credit is a toss up now since nobody seem to know if the full $7500 will be available after March 1.
I heard a Tesla stock analyst on CNBC today and he mentioned March 1st as the cutoff date for the $7500 credit. I might have to cancel my order if my car is not ready by then. The tax credit was the only reason I decided to get in on the deal
