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.

I'd be interested, but after being spoiled by Hondas and Toyotas, I have three concerns:
1. Reliability
2. Cost of Repair
3. Depreciation
What are y'all's thoughts on this?
I would be most worried about the cost of insurance.
Don't forget the $120 a year subscription fee to use GPS..lol
The subscription is for satellite images for your GPS, as well as a few other things that require high speed cell internet. Standard internet is included, which will show you regular drawn maps.
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.
Absolutely great point that I don't think is appreciated enough. Owning a 2023, I was appalled at the quality of a 2019 pre-refresh model 3 that I got into as a loaner. The overall fit and finish was incredibly worse. The same went for a 2021 pre-refresh model S. Having been in those I totally get how some people have a dislike for Tesla if that was their experience. They have improved exponentially.

Topic H, Q3 says the buyer must meet eligibility requirements in topic A:
Q3. What are the requirements a buyer must meet to be eligible to transfer the New Clean Vehicle Credit or Previously Owned Clean Vehicle Credit to a registered dealer? (added Oct. 6, 2023)
A3. A buyer must meet all eligibility requirements for the New Clean Vehicle Credit or Previously Owned Clean Vehicle Credit, as applicable. See Topic A, Topic B, Topic D and Topic E.
Topic A includes Q7:
Q7. Is the New Clean Vehicle Credit refundable or able to be carried forward? (updated Oct. 6, 2023)
A7. The New Clean Vehicle Credit may be claimed only to the extent of reported tax due of the taxpayer and cannot be refunded. The New Clean Vehicle Credit cannot be carried forward to the extent it is claimed for personal use on Form 1040, Schedule 3, Additional Credits and Payments. However, the New Clean Vehicle Credit can be carried forward to the extent it is claimed for business use on Form 3800, General Business Credit, as otherwise appropriate. See Topic H FAQ 3 regarding transfer of the Clean Vehicle Credits.
Question 4 is very specific,
"A4. The amount of the credit that the electing taxpayer elects to transfer to the eligible entity may exceed the electing taxpayer's regular tax liability for the taxable year in which the sale occurs, and the excess, if any, is not subject to recapture from the dealer or the buyer. "
so the dealer, in this case, tesla, will not deal with any recapture if you do not qualify. This does not mean that topic H Q3 does not matter, it specifically states how the dealer, not the buyer and not the IRS, handles the credit for the purposes of being point of sale
It means that per Topic A, Q7, if the buyer doesn't actually qualify, they will have issues come tax time. The only way that tesla was able to help you fill out the form 15400 was to use your SSN, can you guess who they submitted the F15400 to? the IRS
When they find that tesla reported the F15400 that stated you claimed a POS credit, but you don't file a return or you file a return and you don't actually have $7,500 of tax or have income over the limit and don't actually qualify... you may get a surprise in the mail
you need to read the entire Q&A, not just the sections you skim over.
Just past 5 full yrs and 88k on my March 2019 Model 3 LR RWD (since discontinued). A complete home-run so far. At least $11K in fuel saving savings (under 4 cents/kwh on nite flex program) net of GA special EV tax, at least $3-4k (likely more) in maintenance savings, and only a few hundred in repair costs. The FSD, which cost me $5k, has really improved in the past 2 years and on the cusp of being what was promised. NTSB, if you're reading, please step out of the way!!
Downside is resale value, and I blame Hertz for what should be a temporary matter (and this may be partly why Tesla is having issues moving new inventory), but this car will be handed down due to its reliability should I ever decide to purchase a replacement. I've felt since the beginning that i was buying a care that would last 2 to 4x longer than any other car I've purchased prior. If I lose, or win, the battery lottery and it craps out after the 120k warranty I'll gladly plop down $15k for a replacement battery. Best car ever.

This exactly. Notice the IRS is very specific here:
"A4. The amount of the credit that the electing taxpayer elects to transfer to the eligible entity may exceed the electing taxpayer's regular tax liability for the taxable year in which the sale occurs, and the excess, if any, is not subject to recapture from the dealer or the buyer. "
Pay attention to the terms they use. The "taxpayer" and the "buyer" are not the same entity. Buyer here is probably referring to the dealer (buying and reselling).
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. 😕
There is something you are not telling us. What is the millage?
I know of to many people who own Tesla's for over two years and they have yet to have one problem.
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?
First time the company has settled in one of these cases....This doesn't seem to be their MO as you proposed.
that page i linked had topic H added specifically for the 2024 "point of sale" way of taking the credit
it's the same credit with the same requirements, the only diff is that in 2024, you can elect to redeem it at the point of sale if you wanted, you can still wait til tax season and take it just like in 2023. all the other requirements are the same

Don't blam Hertz.
I feel that he is trying to kill the competition and it seemed to work.

I will short some TSLA stock tomorrow, maybe i will get a car for free end of this year
