Try and be consistent. Tesla.com/inventory cars can be ~5,000$ cheaper but only if you ignore the very tax credit you’re talking about. “Eligible for $7,500 Business Tax Credit only” Demo Vehicle 1,165 mile odometer

Useful if you make to much money for the federal tax credit and don’t mind a used car, but we are still talking $43k + fees and taxes.

On the other hand if you get a car that’s actually 30k then you may or may not qualify for a tax credit on top of that price. But at minimum it’s going to be far cheaper.



tesla.com/inventory are brand new cars fully eligible for the rebate.


I was looking through several which explicitly mention they aren’t, thus the direct quote from their website I was using here.

The company isn’t simply applying a discount for no reason otherwise they would just ship one out when someone orders a normal car with the same specs.


The reason is simple. Tesla now makes more cars than they can sell at list price. And they'd rather lower price than lower volume.

inventory used to be cancelled orders and fairly scarce. Now it's more.
