While a traditional manufacturer just sells the cars to its dealers and then those dealers update prices and buy and sell them to other dealers to adapt to imbalances in supply and demand, Tesla has to do all of this itself, since it doesn’t have any independent dealers.

It looks like Tesla is learning it needs to get more and more sophisticated with its pricing and inventory as it grows into the mass market. It does sound like there may be some issues if the tax rate is higher in the state you buy it from than your home state.Īs Tesla continues to offer more discounts on its inventory vehicles, value oriented buyers like my friend Dennis discover more ways to get these discounts even if they aren’t offered in your region.

Surprisingly, they had 77 Model 3 vehicles available. This brings the net cost of the lowest price Model 3 down to $26,850. Next, I take a look at Illinois, where they have a state incentive of $4,000 in addition to the federal $7,500 tax credit.

There are over 100 new Model 3 vehicles available, and most have a discount of about $3,000. Let’s start with Florida, where I live and there are no state incentives.
