Who Qualifies
You may qualify for a credit up to $7,500 under Internal Revenue Code Section 30D if you buy a new, qualified plug-in EV or fuel cell electric vehicle (FCV). The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 changed the rules for this credit for vehicles purchased from 2023 to 2032.
The credit is available to individuals and their businesses.
To qualify, you must:
Buy it for your own use, not for resale
Use it primarily in the U.S.
In addition, your modified adjusted gross income (AGI) may not exceed:
$300,000 for married couples filing jointly
$225,000 for heads of households
$150,000 for all other filers
You can use your modified AGI from the year you take delivery of the vehicle or the year before, whichever is less. If your modified AGI is below the threshold in 1 of the two years, you can claim the credit.
The credit is nonrefundable, so you can't get back more on the credit than you owe in taxes. You can't apply any excess credit to future tax years.

The sale qualifies only if:
You buy the vehicle new
The seller reports required information to you at the time of sale and to the IRS.
Sellers are required to report your name and taxpayer identification number to the IRS for you to be eligible to claim the credit.
The new law requires the POS (Dealer or manufacturer) to report a bunch of information on the buyer to the IRS.
Such as:
Seller/Dealer name and taxpayer ID number
Buyer's name and taxpayer ID number
Maximum credit allowable under IRC 30D for new vehicles or IRC 25E for previously owned vehicles
Vehicle identification number (VIN), unless the vehicle is not assigned one
Battery capacity
Date of sale
Sale price
For new vehicles, verification that the buyer is the original user

Now the Model 3 and Y do qualify for CVRP rebate up to $4,500 ($2,000 + $2,500 income eligible ) up to $7,500 after February 2023.

Summary of February 28, 2023 updates:
……
In addition to the standard CVRP rebate, consumers with household income less than or equal to 400 percent of the federal poverty level are eligible for an increased rebate amount of $5,500 (previously $2,500) for BEVs and PHEVs, and $3,000 (previously $2,500) for FCEVs. This amounts to:
……….$7,500 for battery-electric vehicles (previously $4,500)

B Thank you for your email. Vehicle manufacturers must apply for Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP) eligibility with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and meet a number of program requirements. If all program requirements are met, the vehicle is added to the list of eligible vehicles on our website. At this time, Tesla has not applied.

Excluding taxes and fees, I paid $63,940. It's now $59,630, which is $4,310 less, and it is eligible for the $7,500 tax credit. That means if I didn't buy it in December and bought it today, I would have saved $11,810 + sales tax, so a bit over $12,000 in savings I missed. (I got 10,000 Supercharger miles, which is worth somewhere between $500 and $1,000.) With taxes and fees, I paid $71,578.55 in total.
For those who do order, I recommend this Tesla Prep guide [glideapp.io] to check for build quality issues on delivery day.
I hope this helps,

The disclosure, which was first reported by Electrek, comes as the company faces scrutiny over the safety and capabilities of its standard advanced driver assistance system known as Autopilot and the $15,000 optional upgraded product branded as "Full Self-Driving." Tesla FSD beta software offers some automated driving features but is not a self-driving system.
The luxury EV-maker has long claimed it could reach full autonomy through a "vision only" approach that shuns other sensors like lidar and radar in favor of cameras and a deep neural network that quickly processes a vehicle's surroundings and responds in real time. Tesla CEO Elon Musk previously promised to "solve" full self-driving by the end of this year (he's also promised Tesla would get there every year for roughly nine years now). He has recently admitted the problem will take longer to solve.
And perhaps, as every other autonomous vehicle technologist says, it's not actually achievable yet through cameras alone.
The company began removing radar from its vehicles last May. In October, Tesla removed its 12 ultrasonic sensors from Model 3 and Model Y vehicles built for North America, Europe, the Middle East and Taiwan. Ultrasonic sensors measure distance via ultrasonic waves and are used as proximity sensors to support anti-collision safety systems, particularly in parking use cases.
Now it appears radar is back. It's not yet clear which models will get the new radar. The type of radar Tesla intends to market next year is of a frequency that's allocated by the FCC for ADAS use cases, according to Ram Machness, chief business officer at Arbe Robotics, which produces ultra-high-resolution 4D imaging radar.
Tesla had originally filed with the FCC to use the new radar — which is described in filings as "76-77 GHz Automotive Radar" — in its vehicles back in June.
"From the frequency of operation (76-77GHz) as well as the mechanical design of the sensor from Tesla's FCC filing, it appears that this radar would be utilized in ADAS applications," Steven Hong, VP and general manager of radar technology at semiconductor company Ambarella, told TechCrunch.
He noted that while the performance of this "edge" radar sensor will be limited, it's a positive development that Tesla is looking to add radar to its perception stack for safety-critical, robust performance.
Earlier this year, the FCC had granted a confidential treatment to Tesla in order to keep the details of the new radar under wraps. Late last month, Tesla applied to extend that confidentiality treatment another 60 days from its date of expiration, which is December 7.
i hope this answers your question

I'll throw out some notable 'milestones' , focusing only on the Model Y LR base model:
* Feb 2021 - $49,000 - Roughly the lowest price for the Y LR (not including the SR @ $42k)
From this point forward, Tesla started increasing the price about $1-2 every month or so, until it peaked out at $66,000. Ex:
* May 2021 - $51,000
* July 2021 - $53,000, etc...
* Feb 2022 - $59,000, etc...
* July 2022 - $66,000 <-- peak
* Dec 1 2022 - $66,000 (-$3750 credit/refund)
* Dec 15 2022 - $66,000 (-$7500 credit/refund)
* Jan 1 2023 - $66,000 back to peak (-$7500 fed tax credit only on 7-seater)
* Jan 13 2023 - $53,000 (-$7500 fed tax credit on base model + 7-seater but not performance)
* Jan 23 2023 - $53,500 (-$7500 fed tax credit on base model + 7-seater but not performance)
* Feb 4 2023 - $55,000 (-$7500 fed tax credit on all models)

I went ahead and uploaded a copy of my insurance. Not sure what to do with the Plaid thing. I'll be paying cash. If I link Plaid to my bank account, will they take the money before I get to inspect the car? Also, my delivery date got bumped from March 9-23 to March 21-27
You can enable hotspot your phone and connect your Tesla to it if you don't want to pay for premium connectivity. Downside to that is data cap for hotspot which depends on your cell phone plan... so if you are on a road trip sitting at a supercharger, you may be throttled or blocked due to data caps on hotspot if you already use. The other biggest downside is you won't be able to view your car live via Sentry mode (since you are away from the car with your phone).
Also FYI, standard connectivity is free for 8 years.

I would get the yearly one for $99 over monthly.

If you are paying cash(cashiers check), no need to complete the step of payoff
They will text you and you can tell them you are paying by Cashiers check
I received email day before to respond to their email how I am going to pay and I uploaded my check and responded to their email, they confirmed back via text that they have all my info and good to go
Smooth process - SA tells you car is outside and unlocks the doors
There is a clipboard with your name on dashboard of car
Check out car for as many hours as you want and then sign the paperwork on clipboard and hand it inside and on your merry way
Overall great quality, less noise than my Acura and Honda Accords, drove at 85mph and no noise/shaking/vibration/pulling
Noticed small panel issues(my Acura RDX had more panel issues)and left headlight slightly bulging out(in millimeters). I never checked or noticed this stuff in previous cars, only after reading this thread I was looking for smallest of imperfections. Created service request and pending confirmation
Good luck to everyone
btw, while I am waiting for Electrician to install 240v outlet, I used Tesla mobile connector with regular 110 outlet and charged overnight to 80%(13Kwh) not bad in case of emergency

Ordered on 1/15 white/white and standard everything else. Picked up at Portland (Tigard), OR
Car delivery delayed a few weeks - and that was a blessing. I was waiting for TFCU to finsih my memebership and hoped that the delay would give it more time. It did. TFCU notified me that they sent the check to Tesla (Freemont) one hour before my scheduled pickup time! They sent me a pic and tracking, which I texted to Tesla, and they said that was fine. 2.99% interest rate. But, so many bumps along the way. They had Docusign, trouble. I applied with a joint applicant and they repeatedly sent the docs for my co-signer to sign, and not me. I finally printed out the agreement, signed it with a pen, scanned it and uploaded it to TFCU. You need to be prepared to figure out work arounds if you deal with TFCU! As to the 30 rate lock - I picked up my car 31 days after the date of loan pre-approval.
I looked over my car and it had one small issue. The driver's door latch has to be adjusted, and I scheduled it.
Freemont build. Matrix headlights, mudflaps, PPF, and cargo cover (which is now standard). After I got a nice guy (Isaiah) to assist me with car questions (I had to kind of insist) it all went great! They even agreed to add extra charge (80%).
I am very relieved! I learned a lot from this thread - thanks to all!
Got VIN assigned today, built in Austin.
Just upload insurance. I have preapproved car loan from Seaair Credit Union.
Appreciate for letting me know what i should do next.

'Is there any limitation on excessive data use?
Yes. In some cases where data usage is deemed as excessive and exceeds a fair daily usage, we reserve the right to reduce connectivity bandwidth.'
with Hotspot, Premium connectivity is trash for $9.99 a month. JMO
