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.

Newer Model Ys got double-pane glass and swapped some hard surfaces for sound-absorbing carpet. They're quiet-ER than before, and definitely more tolerable compared to early builds.
At high speeds, wind noise is the primary driver of sounds, followed by tire. In this way, it's as quiet as any other non-luxury brand, but if you're coming from Lexus, BMW, and friends, it'll feel like driving a Volkswagen or Chevrolet
I commute 20 miles a day plus 800 miles a month for trips. Picked up a very comfy Toyota used for 8K that needed some work. 4K and a week later I had a very well running car. Insurance is 100/mo. Registration is 200/yr. It has really well thought out buttons so I don't have to mess with a touchscreen. Spare parts are a breeze if need be. I get an oil change twice a year which is done in 5 minutes while I sit in my car for $50.
I *could* drop 40-50K out the door for a Tesla, which would mean 800/yr registration, 200+/mo insurance, having to deal with a charger at home, or even worse out in public for 4x the time and hassle. The interest and return on my savings pays for my gas. However, I could go really really fast in this Tesla but that's the last thing I ever want to do because it's dangerous and I value safety for all things around me. I'd also rather reduce and reuse by buying used which is good for the environment.
So who are these absolute morons embarrassing America daily?
So I bought at 52,990. But yes it is shitty experience, but Elon is super pro consumer. No other manufacture dare drop their MSRPs. This is single handedly destroying the car market. No one wants other vehicles, if a Tesla is cheaper by the day and it fits their lifestyle.
dare drop their MSRPs-because they were too high in the first place. As for updates-if something is frequently getting updated it could also be that it was not good to begin with. (so updates go both ways)
I would wait until near end of quarter to see if price is even better (or you get some good freebie extras). But if you need a car today this is a good price and as a Tesla owner would recommend.
You should have a way to charge the car at home since it really adds to the convenience.
If you had shared that here, you would have gotten the same responses and likes two months ago lol
Long range AWD inventory was about 41,000-42,000 - 7,500 during last week of December & few days in January which is 4 months ago for, roughly the pre-tax price 33,500 to 34,500!
The current price is nowhere close to that. Price of Model Y will definitely go down for whoever is worth considering it.

Even lower when the newer version releases this fall. Tesla China is ramping up to release it by this year
I bought my car in the last week of January and every car I have seen in inventory since has been at least $4000 more than I paid. We are nearing that infection point where buying the 24 model at this price does not make sense with a refresh coming to the Model Y. This will probably debut in the fall of 2024 with Elon's Robotaxi on 8/8 and have an early Spring release. if you can afford it the prices are decent but but i would hold out for a better deal at the end of Q2 or later. once they announce the new redesign prices will bottom as the 24 will look dated at that point, mirroring what happened to the Model 3 refresh.

Agreed with him as well! Unsure how Tesla is good for the environment if the cost of used EV and its batteries are sitting in the graveyards unsold. Furthermore, EVs are, first and foremost, technology, not so much proven transportation. The economic impact on waiting to charge battery by the hours is substantial as well. Adding to that, manufacturing and charging these EV create a carbon footprint that is harnful.

lol half of the people commenting on here can't even afford this car so not sure why they are on here putting in their 2 cents.
Anyways I bought mine in late Feb with the extra $1k off. I feel like I got a great deal and love it so far. Very fun and fast car to drive!!!!!!!! If you are in the market buy it now... I never understood waiting to buy something you really want just to save a couple of dollars. That only means you didn't really want it in the first place. Oh well my 2 cents lol!!!
Real SD'ers just want to save. It is never based on need or want. That is why we all have too much of this crap at home but still looking for more deals.
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.
The current 2024 Model Y has the LFP battery will also has the full tax credits! I bought mine last month and the inventory prices are $1450 higher now. If you want a Model Y you better buy it now. If interest rates drops and demand picks up Tesla will be raising prices. What you can buy for $35k today was at $68k in 2022! Nothing in the car market comes close to what you get for $35k. Hear me now and believe me later what prices rise.
Don't consider FSD or EAP with Vision only 2024 models. Summon, Smart Summon and AutoPark are disabled.
Autopark works just fine in 2024 vision models, A. smart summon (the newer, better, version) is in the current released code, but not yet turned on, it's expected to be within a few weeks.

Does anyone know for sure if the 7500 tax credit is immune from the AMT? I've been bitten by that before and it really sucks!
AFAIK the only thing that will disqualify you from taking, and fully keeping, the $7500 point of sale credit on an eligible vehicle, is if your income is too high (over 150k single, 300k married filing jointly)

Last I read Tesla was not doing POS because they aren't a "dealer."
Incorrect, they've been doing the point of sale rebate for quite some time, and mention it on the website.

So a quick google shows that the average insurance premium for a Tesla is $250/mo
Insurance costs vary wildly by not just location (down to your zip+4 level of detail) and your age, driving history, marital status, even in some states credit score.... Any general google search will be pretty useless.
Pricing also varies tremendously from one company to the next- a recent comparison (where they got quotes on a Tesla from like 15 different insurance companies- using the same person for each quote) varied from as low as like $1500 a year to as high as like $4500 a year.
Same car, same person, same location, same coverage-- just different insurance company.
My own insurance is about the same on my Tesla as it was on the gasoline Lexus it replaced. YMMV of course.

It also costs money to set up your home to be able to properly charge your car. If you move around often, this can be a problem.
If you drive the average # of miles an American usually does, or less, you can just plug it into a normal wall socket and be fine.
Only if you often drive significantly more than 40-50 miles a day would you need to bother putting in a 240v plug for faster charging... (and many places already have one for their dryer, hot tub, or higher end shop tools).
But yeah if you routinely drive like 100 miles a day or something it's a factor to consider... if your fuse box has space and available amps and is near your charging location it's still going to be under 1k for electrical work most places... but if you've got a weird/complex setup it might be significantly more.

Why doesn't the truck count? Currently they're selling founder editions, which is basically "If you want to jump to the front of the line pay an extra 20k" and demand is so high they're still getting takers on that.

I took delivery on 3/27. Ended up at $32,505 (before fees) with 3 miles on it. I was shocked to see it at $32k. Cancelled my order for one at $34k to grab it.
Just so we understand correctly what was the MSRP of the specific VIN that you got whose price was down to $32.5k after discounts? Essentially, what was the Inventory discount?
New cars are still considered new if they have not been titled. The first buyer is the first title holder although the bank or the leasing company holds the title until the lease or loan has been satisfied.

Looks like some demo cars are being sold and those are considered new but most of the ones I've looked at through the link, have less than 100 miles on them. It's weird that demo cars are being sold for the same price, though.

And the batteries don't go to graveyards-
https://www.tesla.com/support/sus...-recycling
You waste considerably more time throughout the year fueling a gas car than an EV.
Again this is flat out false, total emission over vehicle lifetime- including MFG emissions, are much lower for an EV than a gas car.
