You actually get more than $7500 off as it lowers the taxable amount if you do it now. If you do the credit you won't see it till 2024.
That’s if there are even any in stock to get at this point.
My original post had an error. Sorry. I ordered at the end of March 2022, so my order price was $62,990. It's a blur to me as I originally ordered a Y back in August 2019, but it was a LR RWD and Tesla never produced this variant, but Tesla strung me along for 2 years until Tesla cancelled my order
. Meanwhile Dec 23,2022 i took y'all's advice and unholded my march 2022 order and behold I have a VIN ! Hopefully I can actually get this elusive vehicle by Dec 31, 2022.They were sold out of all model 3's and y's when i checked yesterday.
I think more price cuts are likely coming in 2023, just gotta give it some time.
w/ the $7500 tax credit? Not likely (even though quite a few folks/families won't qualify).
Sorry. Disagree. $7500 tax rebate may be in effect for the first few months, but it likely will drop lower after the full rule kicks in. More importantly, they have volume targets to meet in a rapidly slowing economy and either they have to improve the product hardware substantially or lower the price point. Maybe not the MY or MX, but the target person for the M3/MY is also the person juggling inflationary pressures, most like to have job layoffs/hours cut-offs, and sensitive to borrowing costs.
There is plenty of room to cut prices further even with the tax credit, and I think that will be the likely reality next year. A Model Y LR was <$50k at the start of 2021 before the market went nuts.
Agree and disagree. They do have room to cut price but this does not mean they will do. The cost of building on is different now with increasing labor cost and other costs. Also the price is based on the marketing. It is hard to find another EV at this price and issue same performance at this point. In the other hand, if Tesla qualify for tax credit while most other EV maker does not, this will be another win point for not cutting price for Tesla. Check DOE's list. It is pretty short for now.

Hmmm. Peculiar scenario. You think Tesla will meet the credit but but most other EV makers will not? Besides lucid etc, seems most all manufacturers (legacy and pureEV) have offerings at similar/lower price points with similar (or sometimes additional) product features (excluding the charging network advantage - which Tesla is unfortunately presumably opening up).
Lots of model y today and yesterday in my area (Bay area). For model 3 I kept refreshing the page for an hour and was able to get a base m3 rwd! So happy getting a tesla for like 40k
