Ok look...

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.

This is not as good as the March deal. They are all $1000 more expensive. The other discounts were available most of q1.

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.

Probably demo car they take out the tent events. Like when I went to a LA auto show they had like 15 of them for people to drive around in, since they never were registered with any owner it's still considered "new".
Any car is new before it's "titled" by DMV. By law, those demo cars are new.

Quote from TealGame4096 :
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.
That's a new deal/technique to me and I'd jump at that if I got it to work like you did! Can you give a little more detail and help me not put a soulless gray Model Y in our garage. Smilie FWIW, I am in Ohio.

EV only works for those who can charge overnight at home and use it around the town next day. Will not be usable for any meaningful long trips, waste of time at public chargers is not discussed enough- its funny to see people wasting time seating in Tesla at those charging stations. Prices will continue to go down as initial appeal is gone.
This argument comes up a lot....and I guess my thought on it is...so what?
This is akin to "Don't buy a sedan if you need to haul a half ton of mulch" or "Avoid trucks if you need good gas mileage." Like...yeah, not every vehicle is a great vehicle for every situation.
When the vast majority of people look at their driving habits, they realize they take these "long" trips like 1 or 2 times a year, and usually would have ample access to charging. We're talking like an extra hour or two per trip.

Quote from Dr. J :
Yeah. Well, all cars have some miles on them when new - usually like 10 or so. I got a rental a couple months ago that had just over 6 on the dial.

But 2500 is a far cry from 10
Isn't it like 3k miles or something can be sold as 'New'? Might be different for different brands/dealerships.

I was actually able to benefit from this not long ago. Got a car with similar mileage, so was able to get slightly better price due to mileage, but also had access to new car options (mainly service plan which I was interested in.

I bought a demo model with 300 miles at a good discount.

The demo model does not have the same warranty. The warranty starts when the car was put in service so the demo models will have slightly shorter time and less the milage it was driven. Take a look at the listing and it will tell you when the warranty will end. This will also give you an idea of how long the car has been in service. Mine was in service a month before. When I ordered it, it was parked where they keep the excess inventory. So I lucked out. Other then that, everything else about the warranty was the same.

I read speculation that the premium connectivity and FSD will remain on by accident but that was not the case for me. I still have some FSD left from referral so I can't be certain. My premium connectivity ended promptly 1 month after I took possession of the vehicle. So don't expect any extra there.

Please stop the caffeine and write that again, normally, with punctuation and readable sentences. For extra points, add a few paragraph separations. I can't even imagine what you are trying to say in that.

So can someone explain something about this tax credit? My understanding is that this $7500 is only useful if you actually have to pay $7500 or more in taxes, correct or no? If correct, and a person has less than $7500 taxes due typically, can/should that person withhold partial/whole salary amounts in the same year of purchase, so causing the person to have tax liability at the end of the year which would be closer to $7500 or more, where then this Tesla credit would apply to it?

He's saying that he's down 30k after writing that long sentence. It's in the last words.

No.

As long as your income is below 150k single, or 300k married filing jointly, you can take the credit at point of sale.... and if your tax liability when you file is less than $7500 the IRS will not make you pay back the difference.

Again you don't need specific tax liability-- but also changing your withholding does not change your tax liability at all so your plan wouldn't work even if you needed the liability (which, again, you do not)

Total liability, and how much you "owe when you file" are entirely different things--- salary withholding is just you pre-paying part of the total liability, it doesn't change the AMOUNT of total liability.

The tax credit is a credit applied to whatever is owed in Federal, limited to income restrictions. This isn't separate from whatever is withheld throughout the year. So if you owe $20k in federal tax at the end of the year but $$20k was withheld your tax liability now drops to only $12,500 and as a result $7500 will be refunded to you. The issue arises when people literally owe less than $7500 or they make more than $150k single filer or $300k married in adjusted gross income (AGI, not net income there is a big difference).
