Are You Rushing to Buy a Tesla Before the $7,500 Credit Expires?

Are You Rushing to Buy a Tesla Before the $7,500 Credit Expires?

Hey everyone, DennisCW here! I wanted to share a quick public service announcement (PSA) and poll with you all regarding a hot topic in the electric vehicle (EV) community right now. With the $7,500 federal EV tax credit potentially expiring soon, I’m curious: Are you feeling the pressure to buy a Tesla or another EV sooner than planned, or are you holding off for a better deal? Let’s dive into this and hear your thoughts!

The $7,500 EV Tax Credit: What’s Happening?

If you’re not caught up on the latest news, a significant bill has recently passed both the House and Senate and is now headed to the President’s desk for signing, likely by Monday. This could mean the end of the $7,500 EV tax credit as we know it—potentially reducing it by nearly 99%. This has sparked a wave of discussion among Tesla fans and EV buyers. Are people rushing to purchase before the credit disappears, or are they playing the waiting game for better incentives down the line?

I’ve noticed a surge in demand and chatter around this topic, and it’s got me wondering how many of you are adjusting your timelines to snag a Tesla while the credit is still in play. Personally, I feel like there’s a mix of urgency and hesitation in the air. So, let’s break down what the community is saying.

Community Poll: To Buy or Not to Buy?

Inspired by a poll from Sawyer, I decided to throw this question out to my audience as well. Sawyer’s poll asked U.S. residents if they plan to buy a new Tesla before the $7,500 credit expires. The results were pretty split:

• About 25% said Yes, they’re ready to buy.
• Another 25% said No, they’re not planning to purchase now.
• Roughly 12% are still undecided.
• And nearly 40-50% just wanted to see the results without committing to an answer.

When I ran a similar poll, the results were equally interesting. A whopping 50% of you said you’d buy a Tesla only if there’s a deal. This tells me that while the expiring credit is a motivator, many of you are still holding out for additional incentives or price drops. And honestly, that makes total sense.

Should You Wait or Act Now?

If I were in the market for a Tesla right now, I’d probably lean toward waiting a bit longer. Yes, we’ve got about three months before the end of the quarter, which isn’t a ton of time—but it’s still enough to see what Tesla might roll out in terms of incentives. Historically, Tesla tends to offer quieter deals in the first month of a quarter, with bigger pushes toward the second and third months (especially by the end of September). So, if there’s no immediate rush, why not wait and see what happens?

That said, I’d love to hear where you stand. Are you jumping on the opportunity to buy now with the $7,500 credit, or are you holding off for a potentially sweeter deal? Drop your thoughts in the comments below—I’m all ears!

Bonus Tip: Don’t Forget Your Tesla Accessories!

One quick note for those of you who are buying a new Tesla: your vehicle won’t come with all-weather floor mats. If you’re looking for a reliable set, I’ve got a recommendation for you. After trying out various options like 3D Max USA, Tesmanian, and several Amazon brands, my absolute favorite floor mats are from 3W Liners. I’ve got them installed in my Model X, Model 3, Model Y, and even my Cybertruck, and they’ve been fantastic.

Even better? If you use my exclusive promo code DENNIS35 (link in the description below), you can save 35% off your purchase—their highest discount yet, even better than their Fourth of July sales!
