Base:Partial Tax incentive vs Plus: full Tax incentive?

[TS-LA143]

Looks like my Standard (base) won't make it in time for the July 1st deadline. I have couple of options in mind that need I advice:

Keep my order for the Standard base model with nothing added to keep my cost down and miss out on the full Tax incentive (partial only)+ 5000mi SC.
OR
Change my order to a Plus and take full advantage of the full Tax Incentive. only 1000mi SC.

If my budget is tight is the latter still a better option?

Full tax credit of $7500 is no longer available. So you are comparing a $3750 credit if you get the car by the end of the month to an $1875 credit if you get it later.

When did you order?

Yes the $3750 Credit. Ordered 5/27. my Sales associate says 6-8 weeks because it's an "off the menu" order.

You are looking at a difference of $1875. Does the difference and price and the capability of your options make that much difference?
Or maybe wait until the end of the quarter and see if there is enough incentives to make it worth switching.

5000 miles free supercharging was only valid if you took delivery before May 28th. It’s back down to 1000 miles.

Hmm, I think I would just keep the order and see what happens as you get closer to the end of the month.

I also don't value the supercharger miles much so I wouldn't let that affect your decision.

Agreed. They can software lock any SR+ car the the store to create an SR. End of quarter rush means there's also a chance they could give you the SR+ for the price of the SR and maybe even throw in sport wheels, etc., to entice you to take delivery.

Thanks guys for the advise. It keeps my head from exploding!

That's not true. They're basing the 5,000 off the order date.

Source: Ordered 05/19/2019, Took delivery 06/01/2019. Lootbox shows 5,000 miles.

Yes, that's what I remember our Tesla Assoc. said also. Thanks for clarifying.

Some reports in other threads of people only getting 1000 miles. But maybe they’ve fixed it.

Why not just call inside sales and try to get a rep Tesla with low miles.

The discount could potentially match what you would save with the credit.
