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 TheKingofDeals :
Unfortunately he is correct. We are in odd times where we can get a interest rate on car for less than interest paid in High Yield savings or a CD. The goal is to make sure your not financing it for to long (or greater cash down payment) that your upside down if something goes wrong ie totaled the car in crash etc. But if your doing this right and have the cash should something happen you could easily pay for the loan. Its old school Dave Ramsey thinking to say its better to pay with cash and often its right but with these CU offering sub 3% rates he is correct in the math.
Too many uneducated trolls in here. I give up. This waiting game for a car is real though.

Have you looked at their PoA document? Any idea what account no goes in the 2nd blank? Think that's my Tesla order number? I don't have an account yet back from Tower and wanted to get this document back to them today.

Put 30K into TSLA stock. Wait for the car to delivery in a month, sell the stocks and pay it off. no loan needed. Will that work?

So I got a vin number and the estimated delivery date moved to Feb 15th to 22th. And Tesla is asking for active insurance and payment.

I am a bit confused about the insurance. What date do I ask my insurance agent to activate the insurance? I certainly do not want pay insurance premium for those dates when I don't own the car yet.

And is it only when I submit insurance info. and make payment in the app would Tesla arrange a pick up date/location?

Sorry first time buying a car online.

Has anyone got Certificate of origin document from tesla? My credit union asking for that document to approve the loan and tesla gave one but it had incorrect VIN. I am chasing tesla for a correct document for about 5 days now but they are not giving (other than some vague text reply likely from a call center). My credit union will not proceed with out that!

Lol I think online is a first for most of us.

I got some quotes to figure out who I'm going with (Costco). Then I waited for the email to setup an appointment date & time. Then I went back to Costco set the date and paid them. My date could still change but I needed insurance in place for the loan.

Tesla need this to apply for registration. Get an insurance with a date like 17th. If actual date changes, you can call your insurance and update.

Supposedly Tesla claims they need your insurance at least 3 days in advance to do the registration and get you the temporary permit so you can drive out the car when you pick it up.
This is kinda strange. Normal dealer does not require that and always have a temp permit. You usually have 30 days to put the car on your insurance.

But you are buying a Tesla so you need to follow Tesla's rules.

Quote from CycloneFW :
What your withholding "prepayment of the year's taxes" is has no bearing on this federal (not Tesla) tax credit. What you look at is at the end of tax form, what it says your "total tax" is and if that's what the (up to) $7,500 wipes out.

Now, as shorthand, if you see $10k withheld from your W2 and ended up breaking even or paying more when filing your taxes, then that means your total tax was $10k or more. Otherwise, you would have gotten a refund.

Still, it isn't that withholding that matters, but it can be used as shorthand.
First of all thank you for responding to my post !

So in simple layman terms are you suggesting, if i see Federal tax withheld as 10k in box 2 of my w2, then i don't have to worry and i will surely get a $7500 tax credit ?

You don't , at least in California you get 30 days to add it to your policy. They are asking for your current proof of insurance

I got one when I picked up our 2018. Tesla didn't provide it in advance. Glad they are at least trying to be better at that, though they are failing in your case. I'm surprised the CU needs that to proceed. Tesla provided that to me simply because this was a state they weren't allowed to register for me and the DMV needs it. I've never received one from any brand before.

Yes, IF you don't normally get a refund.

If you normally get a refund, look at what your 2022 (or 2021 if you aren't ready for 2022) tax return lists as total tax.
