I was getting PPF and tint done the other day to our new X, and there was another customer picking up his new S and another dropping off a new X as well. Both of them also mentioned transfer of FSD or free supercharging as the number one reason for buying a new Tesla.
Ok that's beautiful, let me preface by saying I am not trying to put anyone down for BUYING new it was just a general statement at the end and I want this post to be more of just an acknowledgement of the used market dropping significantly. This has very little to actually do with people who are buying new and more about me just pointing out the used market and what's out there currently.
Warranty would be the big #1 reason for me, Plaid or LR.
Wait why no sales tax? also does this apply to used? I mean I'm in NY but I'm curiousWarranty would be the big #1 reason for me, Plaid or LR.
Not so much the drivetrain/battery which is 8yrs/150k already, but the bumper-to-bumper (4yrs/50k), because especially compared to a Model 3/Y the S/X components (suspension especially) ain't cheap.
Sure you could pick up one used an add an extended warranty from Tesla or Xcare or others for $3-5k+, but I'm happy getting my X LR at the so far lowest base of $79,990 before incentives.
Just got my IRS direct deposit this morning for the full $7500, so effectively the vehicle cost me $71,500 new after the extra $1k Tesla Loyalty offer I jumped on in Sept. 2023. No sales tax here in NJ (soon to change) so saved a few $$$$ there too.
Pure EV's (ZEV) have been sales tax free here in NJ since 2004 and yes, applies to new and used.

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't see anything like this for NY which is a bummer. Damn I would love to register a brand new 80k car for no sales tax that's amazing honestly. You save 7k right off the batPure EV's (ZEV) have been sales tax free here in NJ since 2004 and yes, applies to new and used.
Unfortunately, very recently they are looking to phase this EV perk out now over a 3-year span. No set dates yet, but most are assuming with the new fiscal year in July.
As you can imagine the sales of EV's are quite different vs. nearly 20-years ago, and in fact NJ EV's just hit 10% of all new vehicle sales in 2023.
Knew this was coming sooner or later.
Say goodbye to the sales tax break for buying electric vehicles in N.J.
The governor's administration said instead the state will prioritize incentives for buying EVs.
Yeah but they get ya on those property taxes! Personally I'm ok with sales tax on my teslas, because my property tax is only around $1,200 per year. On top of that, my electric utility only charges around 2.5¢/kwh at night (special EV rate). I can fuel both of our Teslas for roughly $20/month combined.Pure EV's (ZEV) have been sales tax free here in NJ since 2004 and yes, applies to new and used.

This is true but honestly the plaids I’m seeing at a really good price the miles are really low most are under 25k miles. How much damage can you really do in that amount of time lol. MAYBE A LOT maybe not
Truthfully I don’t even need the utility of a truck or space/seats I just love the doors and the look of the car. Would be nice to actually have a refreshed interior my car is getting a little boring for me right now.
Been eyeing this one. Bumper to bumper is done but still has battery and drive unit warranty, anybody think this is a good deal or I should wait? 76k is a lot on a 2022
