Yes, I assume the order-by-15-Oct deadline is to get a guaranteed tesla delivery before 31 Dec.
But I bet as the end of year approaches a lot of people will be looking over avaiable inventory and snapping them up. At first I was thinking Tesla would offer some incentives, but then I realize it does not matter much to them if people meet the deadline or not, because the difference in rebate is on the customer, not them. bob On Sun, Oct 14, 2018 at 9:19 PM, Willie via EV <[email protected]> wrote: On 10/14/2018 04:33 PM, paul dove via EV wrote: I don’t know where you get this kind of thinking. They are not high priced cars. Mine was $46,000. A Toyota Highlander is $42,000 and a Subaru Ascent is $46,000. If you get a comparable car you will pay about the same. Interest piqued by your seemingly low price for a low end Model 3, I just checked the Tesla website. The lowest priced available Model 3 to order is $49,000. Delivery, etc is another $1,200. State sales tax will likely be about $3,000. So, $54,200. Order by 10/15/18 to be assured of delivery in 2018 and you should get a $7,500 federal tax credit though the $54,200 will be due before delivery time. Final amount: $46,700. Close enough to your quote. OTOH, that does not include AutoPilot. A Tesla should not be bought without AutoPilot, IMHO. There has been some recent scuttlebutt about some Model 3s being available as "inventory" cars at a discount of a $1,000 or more. The inventory cars are not likely to be without options. That is, they may not get below $46,000. _______________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE: http://www.evdl.org/help/index.html#usub http://lists.evdl.org/listinfo.cgi/ev-evdl.org Please discuss EV drag racing at NEDRA (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/NEDRA) -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
