Tesla After the $7,500 Tax Credit: Price Drops, New Models, and Must-Have Accessories

Tesla After the $7,500 Tax Credit: Price Drops, New Models, and Must-Have Accessories

Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you've been following the EV world, you know the buzz around the $7,500 federal tax credit is reaching a fever pitch—especially for Tesla buyers. I've been getting tons of questions about what happens once it ends, and in my latest video, I dove deep into this topic with some insights from Sawyer Merritt. Let's break it down in this blog post, plus I'll share some essential Tesla accessories to enhance your ownership experience.

The Rush to Beat the Tax Credit Deadline

It seems like everyone's scrambling to lock in their Tesla orders before the credit vanishes. And honestly, that makes total sense! If you're not willing to gamble on future incentives, dropping a $250 deposit now secures your spot. You can always wait and see what Tesla has in stock without much risk.

But what comes next? Sawyer shared some spot-on thoughts: "I see some people thinking that Tesla and everyone else is just losing the $7,500 federal tax credit, that Tesla will just lower the price by $7,500 for vehicles that were eligible. But I don't think that's going to happen. In quarter 4, Tesla will likely launch the Model Y L, the new Model Y performance, and maybe something else too, which will help sales. If Tesla does lower the price for the current Model Y, it probably wouldn't be more than a few grand."

I totally agree. I've been saying for a while that any price adjustment might top out at $2,000 to $3,000. Why? Tesla isn't just sitting idle—they've got exciting launches lined up for Q4, like the refreshed Model Y variants, which could boost sales without drastic cuts.

Competition and Tesla's Strategy

Things get interesting with competitors stepping up. Brands like Lucid are already matching the $7,500 credit through their own incentives, which could pressure Tesla. If more OEMs follow suit, public perception might force Tesla's hand to offer something similar. However, Tesla could play it cool for a month or so, relying on their new models to drive demand.

The big question is timing: If an affordable model drops on October 1st, can deliveries ramp up quickly? Tesla has factories churning out the Model Y all-wheel drive, so they might not need huge discounts to hit sales targets. Plus, with Tesla's pivot toward AI, robotaxis, Optimus, and other ventures, raw vehicle sales might not be the sole focus anymore. Sure, revenue matters, but they could weather a few softer quarters while building for the future.

What do you think? Will Tesla slash prices significantly, or stick to minor tweaks? Drop your thoughts in the comments below!

What Incentives Are You Hoping For?

As we navigate this post-credit era, I'm curious about what would sway you to buy or upgrade your Tesla. Are you eyeing:

• Free Supercharging transfers?
• Attractive financing offers?
• Straight-up discounts?
• Or something else entirely?
