With current available inventory only the MY7 under 80k qualifies and those M3SR under 55k.

Apparently the IRA classification issues of sedan vs SUV have to do with weight of the vehicle.

But per the IRS guidance issued last week, there are no income limitations for leases. If Tesla wants to move more S and X models, they could pass through the credit.
It is Weight (over 6k pounds) or the vehicle needs 4wd/AWD. Notice the dual motor model Ys count as SUVs.
Any classification is gonna be arbitrary but this isnât illogical. AWD is certainly something Iâd consider a normal difference between a truck/SUV and a car.
I would be all for the lease if I can buy it out,

IRA guidance has classified MY 5 seater at 55K MSRP cap used for sedans and classified MY 7 seater at $80K MSRP cap for SUV. It seems like weight is not an OR.

You can get a 7-pass MYP?
19â MYLR ride is jittery enough. You want kids in the third row projectile vomiting from harder shocks and less sidewall?

What is a Tesla demo?
Tesla uses and then sells demos/loaners just like any other brand.

Is there a way to buy a Tesla Y4680, and whatâs the benefit of a 4680 battery pack?

More capacity, less cost⌠so more range for the dollar.
Not sure if Tesla will pass that savings on or just⌠PROFIT!

So far the benefits only materialised for the company and not the consumer. You get a shorter range version of Model Y, Tesla gets lower materials bill. Currently, You, as a consumer, donât get anything out of a 4680 structural pack. It doesnât charge faster, does t last longer, basically just cost savings for Elon.

Elon lost over 200 billion last year, and is not paying some of Twitterâs bills, so maybe he needs the money.

Commercially, it appears as if the 4680 battery pack will power the new 2023 Model Y SR AWD, yielding a range of 269 miles (vs 318 for a LR) at a base cost of $61K (vs $66K for a LR) - We have observed the source code for these new models in the API for the last few weeks and they are now even showing up in the inventory pool.
TLDR; 50 miles less range to save $5000.
There are technical benefits of the 4680, but thatâs for another thread.

Is this the battery Tesla says you can charge to 100% every day? That would probably be relevant to some people choosing between it and a LR.

No. Thatâs LFP and only available in M3 RWD. I have a GigaTexas MY AWD / 4680.

I suspect you maybe referring to the LFP batteries (which are from China, so now taboo because of IRA) versus NCA batteries. The 4680 packs, which are new and made by Panasonic, are believed to be NCA.
