[FOR NJ] Best Tesla Deals - Lease or Purchase

, ,

Thank you for all the detailed information!

I see that you got the $4,000 discount, which brought your total due on delivery, down to $0.

“Applied for the rebates this week”.

Does this discount/rebate require an application or is there an additional rebate that you can apply for?

Thanks in advance.

For this NJ EV car incentive, there is nothing the consumer has to apply for. You just need to be a NJ resident (DL is your proof), and (in this case) Tesla fills out whatever info the State of NJ requires. I used the $4k + my $250.00 order deposit fee to cover the acquisition cost + first months’s lease, and the balance to reduce my monthly payment.

Appreciate it! It is for my wife, however - get a sense she may stick with her SUV, and I will end up driving it! First impressions- I am blown away by it! And will point out that I haven’t been a “Tesla Fan” so my expectations were low/got it b/c I couldn’t pass up on such a “bargain” (so to say) right now in NJ.

Thank you @Strz.

It is 100% possible to not curb the wheels on any car if you know how to drive.

You forgot another unique element of owning an EV in NJ

  • No sales tax on EVs, regardless of price

can the lease really not be transferred I ordered one but was planning on transferring if i didn’t like the car

Cant transfer or cant purchase/sell? Is that an NJ tax/incentivr specific restriction? Historically tesla has allowed lease transfers.

I didn’t add anything to the Base car, as it needed to stay under $45k, in order to qualify for the NJ EV car incentive.

Seems the destination charge doesn’t count.

I still get the 4k on a Gray color.

Good to know- I show “destination and regulatory doc fee” for $1,390 and $43,490 for the price of the car. Adding I was fortunate that they come in white for alno additional cost as that was my #1 in terms of exterior color. Silver would have been my second choice, the other 3 (blue + red + black) are hard “no’s” for me.

Correct: MSRP cap is defined as MSRP including all options that would affect the current/future value of the car.

Destination and doc are not counted for this purpose.

my friend just did a lease transfer must be a nj specific restriction. do you mind showing in the contract where it says no transfers?

You can transfer a Tesla lease once.

In NJ, if you accepted the ChargeUp rebate and did not keep the vehicle for 36months, you will be liable to return a pro-rated component of the rebate you received. This seems to be an honor system method of reporting and it’s often abused.

Can you transfer to a dealership or private party only?

Private party . They no longer do third party buyouts on leases.

On a M3 they don’t do first party buyouts :slight_smile:

Yea figured that was obvious by now. The third party rule was implemented in 2021.

For the people that have taken recent delivery in NJ, did Tesla include the adapter to use a J1772 lvl 2 charger with the vehicle?
