Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

[mikelipino]

Guess I am back here waiting again.. my third Tesla and decided to go with a different color, but it appears that no one has ordered blue… did I make the wrong choice?

My 2018 M3LR was blue, and I loved it. But since it's the trade-in and I didn't want to have a blue car for another 5 years, red was the best choice for me. I think you'll really like it

 

[Soklean]

you made a great choice. I'll admit the blue on the Internet is nothing to right home about, but in person wow it pops and looks very luxurious.

Thanks! Starting to feel better about my choice, this is the first non white car I have purchased in about 15 years.

So I'm curious if anyone has an answer here. This is our 4th Tesla lease. M3P, Red/White. Applied for the lease in the app as we've done each time since delivery should be within 60 days. Normally, credit approval is almost instant (within a few hours max). This time, it has been in PENDING for days. I've tried to contact Tesla, but there is no number to get in touch with anyone. Credit Score is 795 so there is no issue there. Any suggestions or thoughts?

I have the same combo and almost same credit score, and going with 36 month lease. It took about two days for lease approval.

Some new video of the blue ... looks great

I'd love a red and white and have enquired with my CPA about purchasing the car for my LLC, which I believe would negate the cap on the price of the car. I presume I'd have to get the credit when I file rather than have it applied at PoS though.

and FYI the AGI for the rebate qualification can be for tax year 22 or 23.

FYI red with white does not qualify for the rebate.

FYI red with white does not qualify for the rebate.

Did you read my post? The reason I'm exploring this is because the disqualifying factor for the red/white configuration is the price, it being over $55k. There's nothing else that would disqualify it. So if the price cap isn't there, it would qualify. Likewise with the S (presuming the battery is the same as the X).

22? Where did you get that? 23 I don't qualify, 22 I do, but I thought it was the year of delivery or the previous year.

Grey/black ordered day 1, coming from a M3SR grey/black.

Chicago, May/June ETA

@Jree is that black or white interior?

That is a black interior.

sorry 23 or 24.. My mind is off a year

The trunk badging looks great on the blue, IMO.

Interesting...

You can use your modified AGI from the year you take delivery of the vehicle or the year before, whichever is less. If your modified AGI is below the threshold in 1 of the 2 years, you can claim the credit.

Sounds like tax year 2023 or 2024 for 2024 M3(H)P.

Interesting. We are on day 4 with nothing.

 

[pdx_m3s]

I ordered the night of the release. Ultra Red / Black interior.

No updates. Still says May - June 2024

 

[scrapps]

On discussing with my CPA I've switched my order to Uber Red with white interior. Can get the $7500 through the business EV tax credit when I file next year. Huzzah.

Took the plunge Tuesday night. Replacing my 2020 M3P stealth with a full performance model. I haven't been on here since I purchased my wife's YLR last year, didn't there used to be a thread that people posted the interest rates they got purchasing a Tesla? Anyone able to brag about a decent APR in these ridiculous financial times? I got a decent one for my wife through US Senate FCU, wonder if there's one that's better
