    So far they haven't released any details for home charger nor the effective dates. I would recommend you hold on to your Tesla receipt

    NJ EV Tax Break | Is it feasible with AWD + FSD

    You are correct regarding item 1, 2 & 3, you get the payment by mail, it takes about 8 to 12 weeks once you submit the paperwork online. You finance the amount i.e. MSRP - your down payment. Today you will get the payment from the state in lump sum, sometime later this year it will be cash on...

    Lease vs buy - a spreadsheet

    I am not going to get into the Lease vs Buy discussion as it is very dependent on one's situation. Couple of things to keep in mind the $499 as advertised by Tesla does not include taxes & fees as it is different for each state. Based on my reverse engineering of the numbers with an assumption...

    myQ WiFi Garage Opener - No Homelink

    You could potentially use EVE for Tesla, for onscreen opening and closing your myQ garage door opener. It didn't work well with my Model 3 and I finally gave up and went with Homelink module

    Extra mileage charge is 25 cents per mile, at least for Model 3, I am assuming it is the same for Model Y.

    End of June delivery, still no free supercharging

    There is some kind of a manual verification step. Talk with online support chat and provide them with all the details, they usually credit the miles within three days.

    NJ EV Vehicle Rebate Budget Cut

    I am not a finance or legal person, based on what I understand NJ Board of Public Utilities i.e. PSEG etc just readjusted their budget cycle to match the state's fiscal year budget cycle of September 2020. NJ has a requirement to balance their budget every year which meant NJBPU gave unspent...

    NJ EV Vehicle Rebate Budget Cut

    Yes it is a bummer, I was banking on that for a Model Y towards year end. I am suspecting they will get rid of the $500 rebate for Level 2 charging equipment. Also the rebate was supposed to be a point of sale one, I am pretty sure it will no longer be that way thereby slowing down the payout...

    Tesla Will Lease You A Model Y For $499 Per Month

    That is based on the value shown my lease agreement for Model 3, from what I can tell there is no padding shown on the contract.

    Tesla Will Lease You A Model Y For $499 Per Month

    Tesla legally has to share their residual values and money factors, so yes they disclose it. One way to get that is contact Tesla sales and ask them for the details of the quote, they will send you a screenshot of what they see. My guess is the residual values will be very similar to M3, just...

    Lease option available on the Model Y

    No it would not kill the idea of FSD. If you get FSD on a lease it is included as part of MSRP, so effectively you would be paying around $4000 over 36 months which is around $111 per month. A simple way to check this is in the payment estimator price a lease with FSD and without FSD. You should...

    Is 8-12 Week Delivery Estimate accurate these days?

    My account still said 8-12 weeks, even after a car was matched. Just make you have completed all the initial setup i.e. Mode of Payment - Cash/Loan/Lease, Delivery Location and registration information. Sometimes you get auto matched and sometimes you don't. Follow up with your Sales Advisor...

Got a VIN assigned on 7/8 and on 7/10 received confirmation saying my car is on the way. Scheduled delivery for 7/16. Good...

    Is 8-12 Week Delivery Estimate accurate these days?

    Just for your reference, I ordered in Mid June for delivery no earlier than end of July. I got a message from my SA on 7/3 asking if I still plan to take delivery in July or want it later.

    Lease prices way too high?

    Agreed it all depends on the situation, NJ especially made it attractive this year to drive an EV. At some point the rebate will be point of sale which will be treated as Cap Cost Reduction for the lease. Just to add these calculations are based on Tesla's standard money factor of 0.002367 and a...

    Lease prices way too high?

    I have always seen a lease being calculated with Destination fee included in MSRP. I just checked my past few Audi and BMW lease documentation and it has been done that way. Tesla's website does not include the Destination fee However the Destination fee is shown in the sticker price (Federal...

    Lease prices way too high?

    Same here not heard of the 1% rule, have leased BMW's, Audi's for the past 16 years. The money factor for Tesla is high and it depends on the model. However a higher residual value of around 65% compensates for that. Tesla leases become very attractive if you are in a state like NJ where there...

    Question about model 3 order in NJ

    The rebate is based on MSRP of the vehicle and has to be under $55,000 and not the sales price of the vehicle i.e. after discounts etc.

    Lease vs Buy for Model 3 - could you please convince my thinking

    Couple of things to keep in mind when leasing a) With Tesla leases you cannot buy them at the end of the lease b) You are making a 10K down payment, if for whatever reason the car is totaled and Insurance does not pay the full amount then you lose that money. The rule of thumb for leasing is to...
