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.

So there is a loophole if you can handle paying for the car in full or have like a credit union with a great rate. Look into the EV lease early buy out loophole. Basically, the car dealerships set it up so the new EV rebate still pays them regardless of where the vehicle was built and you typically can get them to pass it on to you (minus the lease set up/early termination fees... usual about 1K and any interest generated while you're paying it off). We did this on my wife's Genesis and paid it off in under a month all online without much hassle.
Depends on how your state taxes leases. This is really bad advice in some states
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
Honestly even buying at peak prices followed by price cuts you aren't loosing much more money than other cars. 40-50% depression in the first few years is normal. Of course some people are angry because they lost money relative to recent tesla buyers but I'm not sure what they expected.
As soon as I can find a decent new EV that I can own in 5, possibly 6, years after a monthly payment of $300 with $0 down, I'll buy it. I almost caved and bought the Bolt, but couldn't get over how terrible they looked on the outside.
You can't even get a decent regular car with that lol
If you charge at home with PG&E, your price would be about 50 cents per kWh, your cost per mile is 16 cents. Suggest you look around for super charging. My Tesla super charge station costs 14 cents per kWh after 8pm. Even peak is just 29 cents ,way lower than PG&E.
Without solar, PG&E charge cost is higher than gas.
Yeah if home charging off the grid, you might want to just consider a hybrid not an EV

We're about to be flooded by cheap Chinese electric cars. Chinese consumers are already feeling it, prices are dropping like a rock, there is also a glut of incentives everywhere. I would not invest in Tesla at this time even if you really want it: prices will be dropping more and more. My next car will likely be a hybrid.

Glad I purchased a Model Y Performance for $40,700 after $7500 instant credit and $4200 off MSRP on Mar 22, 2024. $47.5k OTD in California. Some of my coworker paid $87k last June. I think I got a good deal!
Can you elaborate why leasing is better than buying on this particular brand? Also, is one model better to lease than the other?
All the finance gurus always parrot the same information and foam at the mouth at leases and say it's the worst thing you can do.
With a lease, you lock in the residual value of the vehicle. At the end of the lease, if your actual value is higher than the residual, congrats, you've MADE money. This is what we've seen the past few years. If the actual value is less than the residual, you SAVED money because you've paid less than the actual depreciation of the vehicle. In most cases, you have the ability to buy out the lease at the end of your term.
This is a great option to have when technology is rapidly changing and you want the newest without committing to a long commitment. Even if you purchase, the asset will rapidly depreciate because better technology is coming.

Name a single electric vehicle from a Chinese brand that will be in the American market in the next 24 months.

"Nio has announced plans to enter the US by 2025." Geely and BYD are really close behind. That is if Biden manages to somehow stay in power, but Trump will kill the deal with tariffs.
