Since I see so many Tesla experts in these threads, I have a question. Which one of you can explain to me why the exact same cars in inventory vary in prices? Exact same specs, same color and same options and both say New Car (no odometer miles listed in the details) and same options. Identical cars. $500 price difference.

How does that work and why is there a difference? I have not stepped into a Tesla show room yet. Just trying to understand how does this buying work?

If I purchase online, I show up and the car say hypothetically has misaligned panel or some damage that was repaired, if they have anohther same car, do they swap? Or do they take the $250 and make me redo the purchase and pay the $250 order fee again?

Model Y LR at less than $40K after tax break. How is a Model S worth twice as much? Tesla is mastering the art of making cars with the highest depreciation rate in their first year. Wait until the next generation of batteries comes out in a year or two. The resale value of these cars will accelerate downwards in ways car buyers have not seen in some time. Great short term price though (compared to Tesla historic pricing).

I would think that the model Y would be the most weight friendly, especially to get in and out due to its height. Nothing like going to the showroom to check one out if you are seriously considering.

Quote from cappuccinoman :
if you have physical damage. why don't you try to claim it on the comprehensive auto insurance?
Because you avoid any and all claims on insurance of any kind at all costs. Most people's auto insurance went up 30% this year and the advice is to submit a claim on a new car? Tesla should fix for free.

Quote from MidnightGamer :
That's a very good point. I had a 2006 Toyota Tacoma, maintained it well and it had 255k mostly freeway miles and the headgasket went out. It turns out that engine has a known issue with headgaskets that can faily from 100K miles or more. I also had transmission issues and other things to fix. EV's are pretty cool. No fuel, no tune-ups, no oil changes, no smog checks and very low maintenance is a nice change.
My family has owned nothing but Toyotas for decades. The Toyotas are reliable thing is as overplayed as EVs catching fire. We had two 4-runners with blown head gaskets, and a Tundra that's frame is so rusted it's a legitimate liability at this point. There are class action lawsuits in the $ billions for their truck frames, which I would say is a pretty serious flaw not just an OTA recall like Tesla gets slammed for. Could you imagine the media coverage if Tesla had any sort of physical recall for frames rusting let alone one totaling billions of dollars?

Quote from CreditGuy :
I will be sure to contact you the next time I purchase something since apparently we should all have the same opinion of things and buy the things that you buy, lest we be called morons. Sorry that some of still aren't doing as we are told to do, but we will all fall into place so. and do as good animals are told to do. All animals are equal, just some more equal than others.

What if, just maybe, some of us don't see this as a good value right now and aren't willing to part with our hard earned cash on this deal? I don't jump on every deal posted on here. Maybe instead I'll look into how the used ones are and buy one of those instead, which is actually better for the environment. Buying used things is actually very good for the environment, I've purchased many used vehicles in fact.
Contact me instead. 5 yr owner, 88k, ~$15k in reduced fuel and maintenance expenses, and loving by $5k FSD and loving the govt funded $3.75k of the purchase March '19. My Model3 drives like a sports car, has cheaper insurance than my other 3 cars on the policy (no tickets, no accidents for any drivers), and my aftermarket Continental's last 45-50k.

I see hit pieces on Tesla's frequently but me and numerous owners I know have had different experiences.

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.
Is there a way to change your title from staff to bouncer? That would be fitting and awesome! ROADHOUSE!

From my experience, you can transfer the $250 order fee from one car to another if both are available at the same dealership.

If you're that close there are steps you can take to get your AGI under the cap. You can Google how to reduce your AGI or PM me if you want.

Quote from tonkotsu :
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
This is flat out wrong.

Hell you quote and bold it showing you are wrong.

No recapture from Dealer OR buyer.

It literally says both then you claim it only says one.

How embarrassing for you.




Quote from ti97 :
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).


The taxpayer and the buyer are exactly the same entity.

The entire point of the POS credit is that the buyer (taxpayer) is transferring the credit to the [B]dealer[/B}

And that question and answer makes clear neither will be subject to pay anything back if the taxpayers liability is less than $7500.



It's stunning the IRS specifically explains this and you guys keep getting it fundamentally wrong.
