Tesla Inventory Vanishes Nationwide as EV Tax Credit Deadline Sparks Buying Frenzy

United States – Tesla vehicles are experiencing a nationwide sell-out, with inventory reportedly wiped clean in several major cities as the September 30th deadline for the EV tax credit approaches. Consumers eager to take advantage of the incentive are scrambling to place orders, leading to extended delivery times. According to FrunkToTrunk, a prominent online content creator specializing in Tesla news, "Many major cities now have zero Teslas for order on the inventory page." He highlighted that areas such as Austin and certain cities in California have seen their Tesla stock completely depleted within a 200-mile radius. The rush is attributed to the impending expiration of the EV tax credit, which is set to conclude on September 30th. This deadline has created a surge in demand, pushing estimated delivery times for new orders to five to six weeks. "Unless you place your order right now, or if you can snag one from inventory, it's very likely you're not going to take delivery in time by the September 30th deadline to get the EV tax credits," FrunkToTrunk warned. The situation is further complicated by recent announcements from Tesla regarding the cessation of certain deals, an increase in lease pricing, and rising interest rates. These factors combined are creating a challenging market for prospective buyers hoping to secure a Tesla before the financial incentives disappear.
