I'm an original slickdealer (20 years including my early lurker years). We don't just buy on price but also is it usable at that price. Later Slickdeals became buy now think later.
The points on this:
1. It's a great price compared to historic prices for these vehicles.
2. Next year tax credits are supposed to come off instantly instead of having to file and wait potentially saving a good portion of the loan interest.
3. At the end of quarters they generally drop prices to get units moving. This should happen again. A model y performance just about a month ago was 3,000-4,000 cheaper.
I hate when people say "wait for sale" but if you need a car now then this is a great price.
Lastly, every Roadster was recalled due to the 2 speed transmission. Almost every Model S was required a new hard drive due to their hard drives not being able to be written to.
If 3-5 years from now they have another issue similar they won't have the capacity to replace millions of vehicles.
Also, their cars cost much more to repair and have limited repair facilities so make sure you add rental protection on your policies.
All that being said..I still love the cars and think they are an amazing feat of technology. My 2014 plug in hybrid battery is starting to degrad but now I have a work car so I barely drive it. For me to spend $50,000 on a vehicle for less than 4,000 miles a year wouldn't be fiscally responsible.
Edit: What I've read is even Tesla doesn't know yet if they will qualify for the full $7500 in 2024 hence why they have the note on their website to encourage purchase before year end. That note is for Tesla marketing and not based on fact at this point. My advice, if you qualify in 2023 for the tax liability and the income cap, no major reason to wait. If you don't have the tax liability or don't want to wait until tax refund time, buy in January. Even if Tesla qualifies at the half rate ($3750) on 1/1/24 they'll likely just mark down the difference quite soon as their margins allow them to. Other manufacturers won't be as lucky due to tighter (loss) margins. As far as more Tesla price drops, much of technology only gets cheaper and cars are a depreciating asset class. All those recent buyers on this thread should stop belly aching unless they also lose sleep on their: TVs, washers, dryers, cell phones, boats, etc. A car is not an investment.

Things I personally hate, and my wife agrees with me, in my Tesla Y.
* The internals are plastic and too plain.
* Crazy noisy on freeway
* The camera at the back is garbage
* Only stupid display in the middle. You need to have chameleon eyes
* The mirrors are very small
* The blind spot feature was developed by idiots. No sensor on the mirror and no sound when the blinker is on and car is near.
* The Tesla info system doesn't support Android or Apple phones. You will be with 20 years old design Tesla operating system.
* The glass roof is very bad. Doesn't protect you from scorching sun. At least the roof cover is available on Amazon.
* And camera instead of parking sensors was a huge mistake. Again looks looks idiots were creating parking camera algorithms
* The car is heavy and suspension system is not comfortable.
Ok, what I like is a size and how fast I can accelerate.
