Sure, if you have $48,000 in cash laying around and can buy next week. I personally would go with the bolt. It's almost $20k cheaper and pretty much the same car.

Have you driven either of those cars? They aren't even close to the same thing.

Still no $35,000 model 3 when Elon musk announced 5 years ago

5 years ago we didn't anticipate inflation like we've seen. You can already get a model 3 after incentives for $35k. Adjust for 5 years of our insane inflation and multiple 3 and Y trims would hit that mark.

Quote from gooruma :
I bought a Tesla and most Tesla buyers don't tell the truth about EVs. YouTubers say only good things about them and they don't tell the truth.EVs are really fun to drive and faster than any other vehicle I drove. Technology is good too. But, 1. Phantom drain 1-5% battery drain per day just like any smartphone. You don't lose gas when an ice vehicle is parked. This is really bad when you forget to charge and you park your car at the airport or family or friend's home, where every mile counts. If you use sentry mode, you can lose 10+% per day. 2. Glass top really gets hot and you need to have the AC running while the EV is parked, which uses the battery a lot. 3. In the winter, the battery loses the range a lot. 4. You will have the charger connected all the time because of 1 2 and 3. Once you buy an EV, you will know. So, is it really saving money when it's plugged in all the time? And super charger is expensive.. same price as gasoline. 5. When you travel with an EV, expect to add at least 1 hr time to 3-4 hr trip for charging and getting to the charger. If you really want an EV, buy also an ICE vehicle.
While some of that is true, the daily battery drain is not an issue for 99.99% of people, because most people drive their car to work, to the store, to school, to home, and charge it at home at least once a week. If you do a LOT of traveling outside of your home region, then yes EV's arent ideal, but your average driver doesnt do 200+ miles in a day or two except maybe a vacation a few times a year. It's long distance driving that really hurts EVs, daily driving is far better than ICE.

Model 3 dropped $1000 BUT the $7500 tax credit is going away, so not really a price drop unless you have cash to buy one before April 18

Why is it going away? I thought it was extended?

Quote from qqzj :
For people who don't qualify for rebate, that is a real drop
If you don't qualify for the tax credit you shouldn't be spending 50-60k on a car.

7500 you need to make at least 75+k a year.

Below that should not buy any ev until they become affordable

90% of population should not be buying ev or over 30k vehicles

Does anyone have experience in getting price adjustment on a recent order (just few days old), no delivery date assigned.

Call Tesla support they will give the updated price in the final invoice.

They can make over the income limits, just saying.

California can't even keep the lights on as it is. Add more electric cars in that state and people will be calling into work with "I'm sorry boss, I can't make it, I couldn't charge my car last night".

Quote from Silme :
So... no refunds for recent buyers?

If the price of an already purchased car goes up after you buy it, do you go back to the dealer and write then a check?

If not, why would the dealer do that for the buyer?

Now, if you have ORDERED one at the higher price, but not yet actually completed the delivery/purchase, you'll get the new, lower, price of course.


Quote from koge811 :

There is no "limit" anymore so WTF are you talking about?

Quote from Deibid :

it's not going away.

It's going to change to $3750 for the RWD Model 3 specifically on April 18- and remain the full $7500 for all other trims of the Model 3- and all trims of the Model Y.

Several people keep posting misinformation saying otherwise for some reason though.

Quote from flightxxx :
does anyone know how much profit tesla makes per vehicle on the model 3 and model y?
Gross auto margin in Q4 2022 was a little over 24%. Note that's gross margin, and includes S/X sales as well. They don't break out margin by model.


Quote from Core2Quad :
Don't they have to be on a list of Tesla qualified people (aka pre-approved vendor list?)
To install a tesla home charging unit? Nope.



Quote from cgigate :

The 35k model 3 was for sale, and delivered to customers, back in spring 2019. It was eventually discontinued.


Of course as others have pointed out in some states you can get one even CHEAPER today with both state and federal credits


Quote from Powza :
One would need to find a lease company that passes full tax rebate to consumer and allows lease buyout, preferably early. Remember, the goal here is to get a good deal, not pay more for lease.

So, where does one find such company?

No idea. The poster asked if there's any way to possibly get the $7500 credit if your income was simply too high to qualify. The answer is via a lease from a company that passes through the credit, but then it'd be on him to find a lease company that does that.

I even posted a link to a long discussion forum thread on it- probably some company names in there if you wish to dig through it.

This is not correct. You need $7500 in tax liability. Which you hit at $54,000 filing single

Yeah but... if you aren't driving it long distances how much does a premium experience really matter? If it's basically a commuter and runaround then most people would be better off with something a lot cheaper. I bet something like a Corolla would make more sense.

My $0.02 for anyone thinking about purchasing on this deal. Few of my friends own the MYLR, but of interest is the one who bought in 2023 when this price drop + rebate became available in Jan and another who bought it in 2021 including the full FSD package.

1. There is indeed much improvement in the latest variant including better suspension, noise isolation (better window panes) and overall feels more enjoyable.

2. The guy who bought the FSD loves the car, but regrets buying the FSD (something you will see in many Tesla forums). If you do plan to get the car, don't buy the FSD outright, but opt for the subscription. It will take 6 years to break even on the outright purchase of FSD considering it is an eye popping 15k. It is also not transferable if you decide to upgrade in a few years.

3. I almost bought the MYP last month (booked it, was available for pickup late last month, but ended up canceling). State Farm gave me a quote of $92 per month for the MYP. It would also have dropped my insurance on my other car by $12, so cost would have been $80 per month. They (and most insurance providers) do not differentiate between MYLR and MYP on insurance rate. So, shop around for good insurance rates.

4. If buying the MYP, keep in mind that the wheels are very easy to get curbed. Also, the front and back tires are of different width, so tires cannot be rotated, but only swapped between left and right. MYP tires are also very expensive ($2k). I haven't driven it so can't offer any input on it vs the MYLR.

The tax credit cap is $150,000 for single filers or $300,000 for married. You have it completely confused with the tax credit for USED EVs which has an income CAP (not minimum) of $75,000 and the credit amount is only $4,000. You're off by a full 50% on all of your amounts
