Quote from AhmadH1772 :
This is not as good as the March deal. They are all $1000 more expensive. The other discounts were available most of q1.
My uncle who was tracking since March 24th said the price is same as march, just missing the 5k free supercharger miles.

He is looking at model Y.

Every time I see these deals on Model Ys I always come back to I'd rather just have a Highlander Hybrid. I guess FSD could change that but that's another 12k.

Why is everyone stating you need a $7,500 tax liability? Didn't Edmund's and other publications come out and state the IRS changed this to point of sale for this exact reason? They agreed to enforce the income limit but if your liability was not met they were not enforcing it.

That was the whole point of the change and offering the credit to lower income individuals to drive adoption and sales.

Is this not correct?

Tax credit is Non Refundable and you can't roll it forward so you need 7500 in tax liability the year you buy it.

Pro Tip- use a referral of someone who already has a Tesla to get additional benefits for the first few months of purchase. The person making the referral will also get perks. It's a win-win

This goes for demo vehicles across dealers too. Demos are sold as new with warranty prorated. Worst part is they can be wrecked, fixed by the dealer, and never show on any records. Pretty messed up stuff in the dealer world.

Im gonna have to go back and find those publications and their reports. I know Edmund's reported that on their YouTube channel.

Obviously, I wouldn't do it unless there is additional guidance confirmed that's how it's working, but I can't believe they'd come out and say those things without it coming from somewhere official …. 😒 pretty dirty on their ends to report on that.

Quote from SonofZeus :
"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.
This is a real public service announcement - leasing a car is generally the worst financial decision a person can make. It promises two things: you will cover the new car depreciation and you will always be making car payments (that include interest).

Tesla owners , how much is the actual range?

330 miles advertised and being asked to charge for 80% gives 264. Cold weather impact another 20%? Gives 211 miles. Technically what is the range in summer and winter for someone in north east?

New owner of a Tesla Model Y Long Range here (had it for about 2 weeks). you do get the $7500 federal credit at the point of sale. I'm in New York, so I also got the $500 state tax credit at the time of sale. Total was 8,000 tax credit at time of sale. In regards to inventory, you need to keep checking regularly if you do want one. I was about to pick one up in 3 days. Discount due to finding it in inventory was 4050.

In regards to the people that make too much and don't qualify, you can still qualify if you lease. The dealer will prorate the tax incentive into your lease term.

I still own my gas car, yes, filling up your tank is way faster. But assuming you have charging set up at home, filling your gas car up feels more of an inconvenience in comparison. If you do not or cannot have a home charger, they do have a bunch of superchargers around at least in my area, but... charging can take 20 to 30+ minutes, and if it's congested, I've seen some people having to wait for an open spot to charge.

My recommendation is to test drive multiple times to see if this car is for you. I think most dealerships allow overnight demo drive, so ask and see if that's available. Test drove 3x before deciding it was the car for me. For those that don't want a Tesla, that's cool, just move onto another deal.

need FSD transfer...
Especially because car insurance does not consider FSD/Enhanced Autopilot as an asset (i.e., insurance will not cover/depreciate software cost in case of a total loss).

Exactly. For 95% of cases you can wake up every day with a "full tank" without having to go anywhere with an EV.
