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 would be happy with the RWD. The only major detraction is that Tesla downgraded the sound system, which is enough for me to upgrade to a different configuration.

Quote from Dr. J :
Yeah. Well, all cars have some miles on them when new - usually like 10 or so. I got a rental a couple months ago that had just over 6 on the dial.

But 2500 is a far cry from 10 https://static.slickdealscdn.com/ima...s/emot-LOL.gif
there are plenty of 0 mile cars there...seems like that post is there to misinform people

Quote from JellyBellyMD :
I've had the same issue. 320 miles only yields ~200 mile range. Also the charging times are a fantasy. Yesterday I was at 99 miles, pre conditioned, 250kWh SC and 69 degrees outside. 15 minutes of charging only yielded 120 miles of added range which is only ~90 miles of actual driving.

Just took a long drive (180 mile) the other day with my Y. Tesla's trip planner says I should arrive with 100 miles left over. When I reached destination, 16 miles left. I was getting a little nervous towards the last 10 miles of the trip. Fair weather conditions in the 70s outside, not cold by any means.

Quote from MoisesA7010 :
same as back towards end of last year. Tesla raised the price for the Y and then did these inventory discount. not much has changed.

I still feel bad for those who bough in 22. Model y Performance were $70K+ and people bought it without hesitation and a smile thinking cars would continue to appreciate. Overnight people learned they got bent over and used for $20-30K
Why they made a choice to buy, no one forced them to buy.

What was your speed ? My estimates have never been off by that much even in the searing heat.

Please understand that buying a Tesla at this price undercuts the used car market for these cars. When you want to sell, the same price drop shenanigans will occur to meet quarterly profits, and you will get less money on the sale.

Quote from Knightshade :
I've no problem with valid criticism.

This issue is 99% of the negative posts are factually untrue criticisms with nonsensical garbage claims.

See the recent stuff from Dr. J listing a slew of maintenance and fluid changes that are not actually part of Tesla maintenance at all

See the numerous folks who yap about "having to stand there charging for an hour" -or even multiple hours- at superchargers- which also isn't a thing any Tesla owner ever need do.

See the numerous folks claiming this car was $80,000 last year when it never even got close to that.


Heck see YOUR post where you throw out generalized, repeatedly debunked, FUD like "range deterioration" despite actual fleet data showing at 200k miles of real world use you retain near 90% of original range.... (plus echoing the same charging time/range anxiety FUD on top--- you spend LESS time charging an EV in a given year than you do fueling a gas vehicle on average).


So by all means post some valid criticism.

It'd be a breath of fresh air compared to what's usually posted by the EV hating folks.
Interesting Article regarding price.

Price: The 2022 Tesla Model Y starts at $64,990. A Model Y Performance model starts at $67,990. Fully loaded, a Performance model can exceed $80,000.

Appears people were paying over $80K for a MY just over a year ago. Unless we now believe KBB is incorrect as well.

Again, the current MSRP has been cut all the way down to.... exactly where it was about 3 years ago.

Stop pretending the big price spikes in between (that hit lots of car makers, and lots of non-car products too) was anything but a supply chain/inflation anomoly.

The fact Tesla publishes a single price (rather than having to look at how individual dealers were all marking cars up 20k and more) just makes it more obvious, but not any more unique.

Dude... having already been caught lying about owning a Tesla by quoting your own words to you, you're now trying to lie about how time works?

Last year was 2023. Not 2022.

The Model Y performance hasn't been $67,990 since June of 2022.

So no- nobody was exceeding $80,000 just over a year ago.

Nobody was even exceeding it TWO years ago unless they not only bought every available physical option, but also bought FSD software on top.

Plus it wasn't exclusively the P people were making the 80k claim about.


Oh, and yes, KBB is wrong then they claim the Y started at $64,990... Back in June 2022 the Y started, with the $59,990 SR AWD model.

Not as interesting as when you wrote:

Quote from JellyBellyMD :
Thought about getting a MY but after educating myself on its drawbacks, especially complaints about lack of luxury, road noise and ride quality, fit and finish, games they play such as no built-in sun shade for the full sunroof, decreased range in cold climate, FSD garbage, rapidly declining value, and quite a few other factors (including a wife who said Hell No), I will pass.


Then tried to claim you own one.

Then when called out on this obviously untrue claim insisted it was because the price had dropped from 80k to 49k (despite the fact it was never 80k for the model you bought) since you had posted that.

Except the date you made the post insisting you'd never buy one was April 2023-- when the price was already 49k same as today (on top of that model never having been 80k, ever)

Now you're trying to triple down by citing mid-2022 pricing on a DIFFERENT model (the P, which isn't what you tried to pretend you own) and then pretending that was the pricing when you made that post in spring of 2023 (which, again, it was not)


Word of advice man- when you find yourself in a hole- stop digging.

Despite the fact you made the post I just quoted when the price was only 49k--- as it still is today...and that the specific model you claimed you bought was never 80 (esp. since your LAST claim would prove you didn't buy FSD either)

Now you're trying to triple down by citing mid-2022 pricing on a DIFFERENT model (the P, which isn't what you tried to pretend you own) and then pretending that was the pricing when you made that post in spring of 2023 instead of it already being the same price as it is today.

I said people were paying $80K for a Model Y, Never said which variant of Model Y. And 2022 only ended 16 months ago.

FSD is only a 30 day trial received after latest update, never said I bough FSD.

I'll test it out tomorrow. Maybe I'll post a screen of the menu accepting the terms when I enable it.

Have a Nice Day!

Short memory eh?

Quote from JellyBellyMD :
4.5K, 7.5K, 3K and 1K off a 49K car plus 6 month free SC is reasonable to test the technology and dump if not impressed. When it was 80K, no thank you

Again-The model you claim you got (LR AWD) was never 80k.

And the price on the date you claimed you'd never buy it was...49k- same as today

So it's impossible that your April 2023 post claiming you'd never get one is explained away by your decided to do so after a big price drop.

There was no such price drop between that post and today. And the one you actually claim you got was never as expensive as you claimed either.

Plus, of course, 100% of your EV posts (which are like 90% of your last 200+ posts going back over a year) are about how Teslas suck... but somehow halfway through those 200+ Tesla sucks posts you still bought one?


So how many lies, specifically, need you be caught in before you own up to one of them?




Quote from JellyBellyMD :
And 2022 only ended 16 months ago.
Sure. But

A) Your post claiming you'd not buy one was from April 2023

and

B) The price you cite for the P (which isn't even the one you bought) at 67.9k, was only that price until June 2022.... which is considerably more than just over a year ago.


Quote from JellyBellyMD :

FSD is only a 30 day trial received after latest update, never said I bough FSD.
I mean that's the only way you can ever cite 80k as a price.... because without FSD it never even got to 70k let alone 80k.

YM steal a screen shot of that from an actual owner... HTH!
