Tesla Price Reductions After Tax Credit Ends and Must-Have Accessories

Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you're a Tesla enthusiast like me, you've probably been keeping a close eye on the latest developments with pricing, tax credits, and all the goodies that make owning a Tesla even better. In this blog post, based on one of my recent videos, I'll dive into why Tesla might slash prices by $2,500 soon, what that means for buyers, and my top recommendations for essential accessories to deck out your new ride. Let's get into it!

Tesla's Potential $2,500 Price Cut: What You Need to Know

Big shoutout to Christopher for sparking this discussion! With the $7,500 federal tax credit set to expire on September 30th (deliveries must be taken by then to qualify), Tesla is likely gearing up for some strategic moves to keep sales humming. I fully agree that we'll see a minimum $2,500 price reduction on current Model 3 and Model Y vehicles in the US starting in Q4. This would help offset the loss of that juicy tax incentive and keep things competitive.

One point from the discussion I want to clarify: There's talk that the new Model Y Performance hasn't started deliveries yet because it might exceed the $55,000 threshold Gen 2 price cap for sedans under the tax credit rules. But remember, the Model Y is classified as an SUV, which means it can qualify for the credit up to $80,000. So, I don't think pricing is the holdup here. Instead, Tesla is probably focusing on pushing all-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive Model Ys right now to avoid confusing buyers or diluting demand.

Post-tax credit, Tesla will need to sweeten the deal somehow. A straight $2,500 discount is one option, but they could also bundle in perks like free Supercharging, temporary Full Self-Driving access, waived options fees, a free charger install, or even extending the current free mobile connector offer. With Q4 being Tesla's craziest quarter for hitting yearly targets, expect some aggressive incentives—though the last earnings call shifted focus to AI, robots, Optimus, and Robotaxi. Is Tesla pivoting away from pure volume sales? Time will tell, but we're only about 45-50 days out from the tax credit deadline. What do you think Tesla will do?

If you're about to pull the trigger on a Tesla, congrats! But don't stop at the car—let's talk accessories to make your ownership experience top-notch.

Top 3 Must-Have Tesla Accessories

Once you've got your Tesla, the real fun begins with accessories. There's a ton out there, but I narrow it down to my top three essentials: phone mounts, all-weather floor mats, and center console organizers. I've got links and discount codes for all my recommendations in the video description and on our Best Deals spreadsheet (page 2)—using them supports the channel, so thanks to everyone who's shopped through us!

1. All-Weather Floor Mats (My #1 Recommendation)

Protecting your Tesla's interior from dirt, spills, and wear is crucial. I break these down into good, better, and best options:

• Good: Affordable finds on Amazon—solid for budget buyers.
• Better: Brands like Tesmanian offer great quality and fit.
• Best: My all-time favorite is the 3W Liners set (we have them in our Model X and Model 3 Performance). They're high-quality material at a competitive price—use our promo code in the description for a deal!

2. Center Console Organizers

Tesla doesn't include a built-in center console organizer, which is a missed opportunity. I swear by the one from Jowua—it's a perfect fit and keeps everything tidy. We use it in all our Teslas. Link below!

3. Phone Mounts

A reliable phone mount is essential for navigation and hands-free use. Check out Jowua's options—they're sturdy, easy to install, and integrate seamlessly with your Tesla's interior.

These accessories aren't just nice-to-haves; they enhance daily usability and protect your investment. If you're new to Tesla ownership, start with these and build from there.
