There's a pattern with Tesla threads here. I don't care if you all wanna discuss the deal or the cars but it always turns into paaaages and paaaages of bickering back and forth and nobody ,except for the few involved, enjoy that or wanna wade through that. So cut that stuff out, please and thank you.
FYI just because it says "New" doesn't mean it qualifies for the 7500 tax credit. Demo models are new but do not qualify for 7500. If the specific inventory item qualifies it will directly say it on the site.

"New" means: never titled/full factory warranty.
It's always been this way in car world.
PSA: if you want this brand, lease it with no money down.
Yup! You'll see rental cars at dealerships marked as new. They are usually used when a customers car is in for service. They sign a contract to bring it back in one piece. Then typically the dealership brings it out from rental after x miles and before reaching the max. So it could've been used by several different people during the rental program. Then the dealership usually discounts it further and marks it new. It has all the warranty and what not. The only fear is you don't know what people have done to it. There could be small cosmetics things that the dealership missed.
As others said it was cheaper last month with charging credits. If you can wait you'll get a better deal. Especially with news reports that ev sales slowing, I'm guessing they will finally drop it back to precovid prices soon with low demand and glut of supply with their dynamic pricing model, and they definitely have margin to go back to $40k model y pricing.imho
Still happy about my $29k (post tax credit, no sales tax state) Model 3 RWD purchase in Dec 2023. It feels like a sports car to me and it costs about the same as a Corolla.

For those who want to know, I would wait for this version to have an LFP battery if you have been on the fence. The major difference is this technology allows you to recharge to the full 100%, oftentimes only needing to charge once a week.Once you get a Tesla, most people will say you should not charge it past 80% to prolong the battery, but that is for the NMC batteries. I found it strange all the talk on charging the battery when I first bought my Tesla, and that majority users were only charging 80% since you now have reduced range and will have to charge more frequently. Charging more frequently leads to more charge cycles, and it was all exhausting reading everything. This being said, once the LFP batteries come to the Model Y in the US, they will probably not be eligible for the tax credit because the batteries are made in China, and brings the percent of the car made in America less than the required threshold. Either way, in my opinion, I would rather have the LFP battery than is recommended to charge to 100% versus one that recommends 80%, severely limiting the advertised distance of the EV for weekly use.

These vehicles that are at this particular price DO NOT qualify for the federal tax credit. I looked up and down the inventory page and these DO NOT have the "7500 federal tax credit" badge.

Yep, those are demo 2023 RWD, they don't qualify for a tax credit in 2024, be careful.

same as back towards end of last year. Tesla raised the price for the Y and then did these inventory discount. not much has changed.
I still feel bad for those who bough in 22. Model y Performance were $70K+ and people bought it without hesitation and a smile thinking cars would continue to appreciate. Overnight people learned they got bent over and used for $20-30K
