Well Tesla has come out with the Medium Range (MR) model. Sadly at first they knocked off $4000 off the original LR RWD model price - which is gone. Now that's only $3000 off as they noted the demand. You still have to pay for a premium interior with glass roof. (which is quite nice BTW) Those people who said Elon would never make the base model appear at least for the moment to be right. This is just like mine except the battery range is 260 miles EPA and a curb weight of 3686 vs my LR RWD at 3814. One hundred and twenty eight pounds lighter presumably due to less battery weight.
Still for those wanting the US tax credit the base car is pretty much the cheapest things can get:
MR 3 in basic black with 18" aero rims delivery & doc - 47200
MD excise tax 2800
Tags 200
Total $50,200 - this is with no Enhanced Autopilot that you can add later.
Then a full tax refund early the next year.... about $43K - pretty good for a new Tesla.
(In Maryland excise tax deductions for electric appears depleted. Should be another $3000 if they get more funding in the summer 2019. So maybe $40K? in Maryland if they fund the program?
Tesla is only guaranteeing the full tax credit for orders placed through Friday Nov 30th because they have to deliver by Dec 31st to make the full tax credit. Orders delivered Jan 1, 2019 to June 30th will get half ($3750) when they file in 2020.
So order now kids for a $40K Tesla not counting your state tax. One day left !!!!
Here's my referral code so you can get free supercharging for six months on top of that:
