Some customers are getting offer of $7500 off + 10k free miles
- Thread starter acpd

Same in Seattle area, there were more than 30 MY and 20 M3 available on Dec 21 and all gone in the next day. I even see people rush to the pickup location at same day(Dec22) when he placed the order.
I bought a new MYP and picked it up on the 21st (from existing inventory). They announced the amount of the credit from $3750 to $7500 literally the next day. This gave me extreme buyer's remorse lol, so I reached out to Tesla. They replied that since I picked up the car on the 21st, I qualified for the other $3750. It's possible they officially (but did not announce) the increase on the 21st and that's why I "qualify". I am not sure.
I do understand why they are doing this. EVERYBODY (including me) canceled their orders when they found out the government would be bringing back the $7500 credit starting January 1st. (As a side note, as an extra incentive to buy the Y they offered to (and did) refund the previous $250 I lost when I cancelled.)
So, if you take possession of a 3 or Y this month you get the same amount you'd get from the government *PLUS* 10k free SC miles.
No reason to wait as long as you can pull it off by the time the ball drops.

'Not quite' in your world is 40%. As in, every $100 you give me, I give you $40 back. You not quite get your money back. We should do this every day.
However, I expect Tesla to use EPA to calculate the 10k miles. That is about 250 Wh/mile in a Model Y, so 2500 kWh. Using 30¢ per kWh, it is about $750 of Supercharger credits and not $2,500. Someone over-estimated the value of the credits by 333%
The above ignores a few details:
- The credits are good for 2 years. Some people travel 5,000 Supercharger miles annually; I certainly do not.
- Supercharging is harder on the battery and will cause more degradation than charging on L2. To be blunt, charging at a Supercharger simply to use the credit is a false economy and waste of time for the car owner; and to make matters worse, adds congestion at the Supercharger network.

Their site clearly mentions the $7500 credit is effective between December 21 and December 31, that is the reason you qualify. Attached is a screenshot from Tesla's site.I bought a new MYP and picked it up on the 21st (from existing inventory).

I disagree. It incentivizes people that may not yet have a home charger but can get the car today and not stress about range for a little while. Also people with older teslas they may want to road trip a lot and may be more inclined to trade-up.
I found a blue with white interior and it was snagged up by the time i try to add my card details. insane that so many people are willing to throw in 60-70k in a vehicle instantly.
i ended up buying some shares instead.. looks like demand is strong.

As a very experienced software engineer and architect on systems that span in the milllons of lines of code, in many cases it is far better and easier to toss out entire libriaries of existing code and start over. Trying to fix poorly designed spagetti messes piece by piece in a kludgey system can take 2-3x longer in some cases. Just rewrite it from scratch and do it write using lessons learned from the previous botched attempt.
