Final post on this thread: Summary: Model Y LR, White/Black, 20", 5 seats, no Tow. Ordered June 8, took delivery today June 22 at the Raleigh, NC location. Everything went smoothly, completed trade in and new car purchase (cash deal) in 22 minutes. Car was immaculate, and is now getting...

And now pickup set for June 22nd, earlier than projected. Must say, pretty impressed to go from ordering to taking delivery in 14 days. Great job Tesla!

EDD #2: June 24-30 VIN Assigned: June 19

doug, it depends on what the laws are in 3-4 years. Under existing law, you could buy 2 Teslas in 2023 and get 2 tax credits, assuming you otherwise qualify.

If you ever look at used inventory, they first show you offerings in your area, then they show you vehicles across the US with the associated fees to move to your location. So Destination Fee is different from Transportation Fee.

I should have clarified my earlier response: The other EV manufacturers, Genesis, Hyundai, Kia, etc., are offering to reduce the lease capital by $7500 in an effort to compete with Tesla's $7500 tax credit with purchase as they are ineligible for that tax credit due to the IRA provisions...

Update today: EDD June 22-30

bsnelson, you do not get the tax credit, but you should be able to negotiate the $7500 of the lease off the top, since the leasing company is enjoying the tax credit.

You file a form at the time you file your 2023 Fed tax return. Tesla is also sending documentation to the IRS to corroborate your qualifying purchase.

Unless you are from the future, it is still June 9th!

Yes, you still get the $7.5K federal tax credit if you trade in (as long as you otherwise qualify).

I also took the plunge: MYLR White 5 Seat Black OD: June 8 ODD: June-July EDD: None VIN: None

All reports are that you cannot retrofit from HW3 to HW4, per EM himself. To me, that is a big hardware update. Pricing is a guessing game, I agree. The new colors are also not "upgradeable". Both the Quicksilver and the Cherry Red look awesome, and it will help your new car stand out from...

If you can hold off, I think it would be smart to wait. 1) We now know the $7500 is not going away during 2023; 2) Possibility that the 2 new colors are coming to the US; 3) Possibility that HW4 will be rolling out this year, better features and improved safety; 4) Inventory is growing...

Question regarding the Tesla OEM carbon fiber spoiler. Tesla's website indicates you order it and then a service center installs it for the (high) price. Can you do that concurrent with your order of a new Model Y? In other words, can you get a new car and have them install the OEM spoiler...
