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.

Typical stuff, takings advantage of low income ill-informed people. Sad but that's reality. I've already seen a lot of reddit posts about how people didn't even realize it has no parking sensors and theyre ticked off or severely disappointed. I've had parking sensors on my car since early 2000s. Do I need it? No. But why would I not want the best tech in my car on all aspects?

Haha. Hilarious to see some of the scrubs on this thread.
Single filer with no other deduction would need to earn around $70k to max out the $7500 credit. Is this someone you would call low income ill informed?

Why are you getting rid of your ID.4 Pro. Was considering it since it already qualifies for CVRP and the tax credits so your insight would be helpful.
If you rely on charging network, CCS compared to Tesla is no competition, even if I live in California where there's a lot of chargers, it's just either broken or slow charging due to poor maintenance on the chargers, specifically Electrify America.

Lack of software update or the promise of software update for 2021 owners is a turn off. They started updating 2021 ID.4 end of December 2022 for "select" ID.4 owners, and a few days ago, they put a stop recall notice to pause all future update. So being a 2021 owner, feels like we're left out. The software update was suppose to add auto-hold, fix schedule charging, and improve charging speed.

I guess comparing 2021 vs 2023 is pointless though, since 2023 models have all the fixes and is a US built model that have better charging speed if you are able to get SKI battery models.

Other than that, the ID.4 is quite a comfortable cruiser, but feels a bit sluggish at time. I get nowhere near my EPA rated of 260, but I highly doubt a Model 3 gets anywhere near EPA rated 272; so range wise, both models are probably about 180-220 miles realistic if you're driving above 70mph on highways.

Guys need some help, TOWER FCU loan, is this only eligible for perm resident or citizen?

I am on work visa. It doesn't give me an option to choose immigrant.

Please help
Contact them to confirm if PR means Green Card holders. From what I know you are Non PR only in USCIS immigration context otherwise visa workers who file taxes in US are considered residents.

I know a lot of people are having tax questions, and for someone who in the industry, I just want to further explain how it works.

The federal tax credit of $7500 is considered a non-refundable credit. You have refundable credits which are your withholdings, and then non-refundable like this federal tax credit.

What you want to understand also is your tax liability. Your tax liability is based on your gross income, this includes any wages and your 1099-misc, or any income that you have generated for the year that is considered taxable.

Credits are withholding payments, estimated payments, tax credits, etc. These credits/payments are applied to your total tax liability, which decreases your liability. Therefore, the lower the liability, and higher the credits is what you would typically get back as a refund, given they are refundable. When you have a non-refundable credit like this federal tax credit, it will be deducted from your total tax liability. Therefore, if your total tax liability is $6000 for the year based on your income, you will get $6000 out of the $7500 tax credit applied. And any additional refundable credit that was overpaid will be refunded back to you.

It is important to note that your withholding amount is NOT your liability. You base your liability on your total income through a tax table provided by IRS website.

I hope that helps. Smilie

No, it is not possible to apply to this year's taxes if you bought it this year.

What's the best place to sell or trade in your current vehicle? I've tried carvana and vroom; offers were somewhat low.
CarMax for hassle free and max returns.
Unless you want to sell to private party for more.
