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.

Wild how something that may have 2500 miles on it is filtered as "new"
A Chevy dealer listed a car as "new". It had 35k on it cause it was a dealer car and never titled.

You shouldn't need a crazy amount of infrastructure if most people are charging at home with a full charge when they wake up. Remember EV adoption is still pretty low at 7.6% of sales in 2023.

As more people buy EVs you want extra infrastructure along highways to cover traveling. Places with high utility where charging networks can make money.
It's bliss waking up each morning with a full tank. If you're public charging as your primary method, you're not doing it right.

Quote from SlickJimee :
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?
So you need to generate $7500 in taxes to get all of it back. It's not you "owe" $7500 at the end of the year after you do your taxes, it's your total taxes for the year. So like if you made 50K and were in the 22% tax bracket owing about $11K and you were seeing a little under 1K coming out of your paycheck each month, you'd get a $7500 rebate check in the mail. If you're retired and cashing out your minimum 401K, you're only going to get whatever you're paying taxes on that (in that situation, you should take out more than your minimum and stuff it in a 5% CD or whatever so your taxes hit about $7500 since it's free money).

No, you do not.

The ONLY restriction on the buyers side is the max income cap.

If you're below it you can take the full $7500 at point of sale. Tax liability does not matter.


This was just explained- with a direct link to the IRS telling you this, 7 posts before yours in this thread.

My bad, I was thinking last year before the point of sale kicked in.

You sure? Honda Pilots can be 53K. Teslas are arguably the cheap minimalist vehicle option now.

And you can spend hundreds of $k on a Ferrari. A Model Y is nowhere near the size of a Pilot. It's barely the size of a Rav4. You should really be comparing it to hatchback sedans, not SUV's.

Even Rav4s can go over 40K MSRP before "market adjustments" as well. Teslas are absolutely NOT high roller mobiles. Bolts and Leafs are the only EVs generally cheaper than them. Like most of the people buying other EVs are shying away from Tesla because they want something nicer.

"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.
That's bad advice seeing as you can't buy out Tesla leases.

I went from approximately $1800 for two cars annually to approximately $2800 in CA using the gecko company. I got MYLR in March with 10k free supercharging with my trade in. My 13 Sienna was getting 18.5 mpg. Wanted a hybrid Toyota or Honda but those were just as pricey with dealerships adding useless add-ons and markups. Thanks to these dealers, I decided to get Tesla.
