Model 3 can be had for under 30,000 in most places?


Really? It starts at 52,000 USD for a new 2023 model, that’s not including taxes and other fees. Where are these mystical “under 30k” offers? Is it for a new or used model?

My prices are all new, 2023 models.


Tesla changes pricing frequently but I just went to their site and they are showing a base Model 3 RWD at $32,740 after the $7,500 federal tax credit. So that would put it at just over $40k before incentives. Also remember that several states also have incentives that may apply.

I clicked on “explore inventory” at their website, put in the Los Ángeles zip code of 90001 and search radius of 200 miles. Found this one for $39,670 before tax credit: https://www.tesla.com/m3/order/5YJ3230_87dfdbbc95d70f719a4d1... .

So, after the tax credit that would be $32,170 for a new Model 3 with no wait time (it is in inventory).
