For people who don't qualify for rebate, that is a real drop

I would prefer real drop in price than the gimmick of 7500 credit as I don't qualify for the credit😃😀

This is true on many levels! I considered a Leaf back in the day but couldn't get over the aesthetics. Ended up getting a MYP for more than I should have spent 2 years ago, but it was really my first big car purchase, and I thoroughly enjoy driving it each and every every time my wife lets me. 😉 I was fortunate to get it before the big price hikes, but unfortunately right after they removed radar (funny how it "wasn't needed" but will be coming back).

I think you're on point with the 2 years out statement. EVs still being a "nascent" market has come to an end and we are on the cusp of seeing some really great options from multiple manufacturers. My oldest kid starts driving in 2 years so I'm hoping to see something that really looks intriguing before then.🤞

Yeah... EV is the best car for be drivers. It's 1 pedal driving is easy to learn and less chances of mistakes because the car brakes itself once you stop accelerating. I will only consider an EV (low cost EV) for my kid.

As does literally every brand of car.

FWIW my Lexus had more from-the-factory problems than my Tesla did (and required more service visits during the first 5 years of ownership too). Not saying that's always the case of course, but the idea there's some massive # of substantive problems is simply not reflected in reality (one way to know this is checking Teslas warranty costs as a % compared to other car makers-- it's actually LOWER than average)

Another way is looking at owner satisfaction surveys, where Tesla reliably leads all brands. If they had massive fit/finish issues that would not be the case.

I talked to a CPA, this type of credit is non-refundable, as someone who doesn't have other income (like from stock investment) and with mortgage interests. I don't see a way that I can get this credit unless I deliberately don't pay tax in my paycheck. If I understand it correctly, non-refundable credit only brings your tax owe to 0, and it will not give you money back.

What happens if you have an existing order ?? I cannot get the lower price?
Of course you can. Has been mentioned multiple times already in the thread.



Quote from leads :
Do your homework and the alleged middleman won't bang you.
He literally has to.

Adding $ over the actual cost of the car is the only way he stays in business. That's what his actual job is- to get more from you than it cost his dealership to acquire it.

The only thing you are "haggling" with the dealer over is how MUCH extra $ you are going to pay him over the actual cost.


Why waste your time with that garbage compared to just paying the factory price to the maker of the actual car?

I pay $297 a month total for full coverage on both my Tesla Model 3 and my Nissan Leaf.

I pay 270 for 6 months coverage for my Leaf and my 7 seater ICE SUV. And that's without shipping for insurance in the last 5 to 6 years.

Only liability coverage though.

You do not understand it correctly.

Your paycheck deduction has nothing to do with the credit qualification at all

At the end of the year, based on your income, you will have some number that is the amount of tax you owe. This is NOT relevant to your paycheck deduction, that comes later. It's just "You earned X, you owe Y"

If you paid less than that amount via deductions, you owe more. If you paid more than that via payroll deductions you get a refund.

But the tax credit comes in BEFORE that step.

It reduces the amount you owe BEFORE they even look at what came out of your check.

As long as that # is $7500 (and it is if your taxable income was over $54,000 filing single, or about $65,000 filing jointly/married) then you get the full $7500 credit taken off.


THEN they look at your payroll deduction, and decide how much your refund (or still owing) is.

Being non-refundable only matters if you made so little income you didn't have $7500 in liability to begin with (and again, your payroll deductions have no relevance to that) in which case the credit would offset whatever amount of liability you DID have dollar for dollar.



Just to throw some easy #s in for an example.

Let's say you made exactly the taxable income needed to have $7500 in tax liability for the year.

And you had, say, $10,000 taken out of your paycheck via payroll deductions toward federal income tax.

In a normal year, with no tax credit to claim, you would get a refund for $2500. Which is the 10k they deducted, minus the $7500 you owe. $2500 refund.

WITH the tax credit, that goes against your original $7500 of liability. You now have $0 in liability.

NOW they look at the 10k deduction you had...and you get a refund of $10,000 since you owe net $0.

So again- the amount of your payroll deductions is irrelevant to being able to get the credit because they don't even look at that until after the credit was applied.

Tesla is still way more expensive for the value you get even with the latest price cut. With competition heating up, expect further price cuts and much lower prices in the time to come.

Quote from 2Corolla41Tesla :
and 40m in CA. I obviously wasn't talking about the entire state unless you think California's entire power routinely goes out as much as all the others that continually post it (like OP I referred to). Yes, recent ice storms nowhere near as bad as the ice storm mere years ago that killed hundreds of Texans. What CA power outage in recent history directly contributed to hundreds of deaths? CA grid is fine. 🙂
Hundreds of Texans died? That's news to me.

Quote from 2Corolla41Tesla :
I've been here 13 years and I can't remember anytime my power was out more than a half day & not in YEARS. sure ca iso balk about nearing capacity on a triple digit day but yet... my power stays on & I don't even try to conserve.


Meanwhile Texas seemingly loses power in large swaths with every winter ice storm. Maybe they should incessantly warn everyone like California does?
I'm sorry you missed the 2000-2001 energy crisis. It was fun and unfortunately, a sign of things to come. Millions of residents are impacted by them each year, with NatGeo estimating over 51 million customers were impacted by rolling brownouts/blackouts from 2017-2019. I received a notice last September that effected over 650k customers alone in one day. It's certainly a growing issue as renewable power generation, specifically solar/wind, are not capable of consistent power generation and generally fail to generate more than 10% at peak consumption times. Adding millions of EVs to the road will compound the problem unless some sort of technology or shift in power generation policy is produced.

Can't speak for everyone else, but as for me i was about to buy a Tesla until Musk went off the deep end so I bought Toyota instead. Will never consider a Tesla now. Good luck to all of you who do.

I buy my consumer products based on the politics of its owners. My toaster and I share the same ideology.

If your state has Tesla insurance its reasonable. If it doesn't then it can be several times what other brand cars cost.

Not true at all.
