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.

Wouldn't it be amazing if you watch your car being built via live factory video stream, then you shift view to the car's camera system and watch it drive across the country right up to your driveway, all without human involvement 💀
now that you say that it does sound cool and no dealers or anything involved. Just go online, hit buy and next car that gets built drives to your driveway and no nasty rears have ever touched your seat

Quote from EchoTony :
After having a Model Y for about 5 months, I can offer the following things to consider if buying a Tesla.

Your insurance is going up unless you already drive a $100k + car. These are priced based on cost of repair and history of Tesla drivers crashing more than other brands. So expect an increase. Depending on where you live, your cost to charge may be a big savings over gas or not. For us, gas is very expensive, so using electricity is a savings - even though our local utility is also criminally over-priced (SDG&E).
Generally, you will want to charge at home over supercharging. Very nice to wake up to a full charge for the day. Expect to have a 240v plug installed or a dedicated wall charger.

The up side is the cars are nice and drive well. I don't see having to do anything more than changing tires, swapping out cabin air filters, and filling washer fluid. This month we got free Full Self Driving as a trial. It's cool, but I don't trust it. Not yet. it drives like an old lady - one with some vision issues. I would think in another year or so it will be pretty good.

Included games, browser, Netflix, YouTube, and other goodies make charging stops painless. I really like it for the family car that's used for taking the kids to school and activities. Not really there for long trips unless you are totally in California. Then it's ok as there are plenty of charging stations. But as you leave the West, it's a bit more of a concern. At present the ICE/ICE-hybrid is better for long trips.
Can I ask if you are in SD? I have same utility and trying to gauge how much impact it will have to my already seemingly high utility Smilie

Quote from Knightshade :
Right here.

https://www.irs.gov/newsroom/topi...les-credit

Question 4.

As already posted mutliple times today alone.

Holy cow why does nobody on here read existing posts before spamming misinformation to the thread?
https://www.irs.gov/pub/taxpros/fs-2023-29.pdf

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.

Quote from LivelyRoad633 :
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.

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.

Pick up a phone and call then? My insurance was barely more than my other cars, and certainly not anything worth worrying about.

Quote from CrazyGoat :
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.

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).

Quote from NEOI :
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.
