I would not be so sure of these and other incentives coming around soon.But when do you anticipate the rumored refreshed Model 3 being available for delivery? 2024?
I suspect the refresh is in part being motivated by the fact that the Model 3 doesn't qualify for the anticipated EV Tax Credit. Even the Model 3 RWD would have issues qualifying since it uses a Chinese made cell that is assembled into a pack in Shanghai. I prefer the LFP battery pack since we are able to charge to 100% giving us 273 mi range. That is equivalent to a Model 3 LR charged to 80%. I would suspect they might decide to not use the LFP pack in the US so that it isn't penalized under the EV Tax Credit program. If that is true, I can see how a Model 3 RWD with the LFP pack might have a higher resale premium than a non-LFP refreshed M3.
So another way to look at is, Tesla is giving buyers of the '23 RWD the $3,750 value of the tax credit along with $1,000 worth of free supercharging miles. That is a pretty good deal that I won't expect to come around again.
Competition is ramping up, Tesla stock way down due to recent actions of Musk.
I have never seen these cars available for immediate delivery before. We do not know why. Perhaps supply is catching up to demand.
