Rebates depend on region. In California, discount is up to $7200 for RWD Y.

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.

I paid $51,000 for my 2022 Tesla Model Y that now has a dead battery and Tesla wouldn't warranty it. Wanted to charge me 18k for a refurbished replacement battery. So it just sits while I pay $800 a month. I'm trying to find a wrecked Tesla with a good enough battery to swap with. Then trade or get rid of it. Worst car ever. 😕
Did they say the battery was physically damaged? Why wouldn't it be warrantied? Isn't it 8 years/100k miles warranty?

Why settle then?
Because often some token payment is cheaper than a protracted court case and rolling the dice on a jury ignoring the facts of a case to "punish" a company?

I don't understand how Tesla doesn't warrantee your car. It's clearly under the warrantee window, unless it's high milage or something.

There's several independent shops out there that can take out your battery tray and find out which battery cell(s) needs to be replaced. Should save you thousands.

A 2022 model y should still have warranty coverage for the battery. What was the reason for an 18k battery replacement?

Quote from ngtwolf :
Curious how this works. If you typically declare enough so you get a refund each year (which is not really a refund, you just over paid) then this doesn't apply? this only counts if you actually owe money? (like if you put down 10 dependants or something so you owed at least $7500 at the end of the year)?

It has nothing to do with if you get a refund or owe at the end of the year. It's a non-refundable credit, meaning if you owe little in tax it can reduce your tax to 0, but not below. A refundable credit means it can reduce your total taxes to negative. Once you total up how much tax you owe, and subtract the taxes that have been withheld, you have your total refund or owing amount. They're related, but different.

Quote from Knightshade :

Why do you keep ignoring the many times the IRS has been directly cited proving you get to keep the $7500 credit regardless of tax liability and instead cite to 3rd party links?

The IRS explicitly says if you take the POS credit they will not clawback any difference if your actual liability is less than the value of the credit.
https://www.irs.gov/credits-deduc...3-or-after

"The credit is nonrefundable, so you can't get back more on the credit than you owe in taxes. You can't apply any excess credit to future tax years."

where does it say on their site otherwise?

While owed and liability are different- neither has anything to do with the $7500 tax credit.

You can get the full $7500 at point of sale regardless of either liabiity or what you owe end of year.

As has been explained repeatedly, with links to the IRS confirming it. Including 2-3 times today alone

How do people keep getting this wrong?

As already posted mutliple times today alone.

That is a terrible advice to give. Imagine getting the letter from the IRS 5 years from now, telling you you owe $15K for tax, penalty, and interest.

It's documented (Q4). https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/topi...les-credit

Why won't they warranty it? Over 120k miles

Greater than 120,000 miles in two years?!

Holy crap that's a ton of driving. Did you supercharge frequently? I ask because that amount of frequent, what I would presume daily if not multiple times a day, supercharging would take a toll on a battery. I would have gone with a lithium iron phosphate battery tech if I was putting that kind of mileage but man that's a lot of driving.

How much more over 120k?

I can see writing off a car if its got at least 200,000 miles on it. But a new engine on an ICE car runs around $6000. Sucks for the battery to cost so much more.

Quote from elefante72 :
I just got rid of my Tesla last month (2019 M3LR). The depreciation was going down thousands per month. Luckily I didn't take a total bath, and replaced it with a Lexus ES. Very happy and the dealer put together a slammin package that I am paying less per month. ALSO my car insurance went down $300 a year.

I still have 2 plugins but until EV can stabilize price wise and cold weather range I am going to hold off on getting a new one. Now my Tesla was old skool no heat pump but my cousin has a 2023 and while the heat pump is better it still sucks in the winter.

In any case outside of the $8000 in warranty repairs it was good after the first year except the paint was atrocious and so was the panel alignment.
I own two 2023 Teslas - and a decent amount of Tesla stock.

But I would tell everyone to avoid any of their cars from the first year of model production. Model 3 and Y took about a year to really reach "acceptable" / "design complete" - same can be said about the Cybertrucks people are getting today.

That said - these cars, with incentives and our driving habits - made perfect sense. They've both proven to be very well made cars, with no panel gap issues to speak of.

However everyone I've known with a 2018/2019 Model 3 or 2020 Model Y has talked about the thousands of dollars of "Free" warranty work their cars received to reconcile issues due to immature/incomplete design decisions.
