The tax credit is a payment to the buyer that the buyer is essentially using as a down payment. Therefore, it would not normally affect the state taxable amount. In a lease the opposite applies, the payment is to the leasing company and the leasing company is optionally using it to offer a...

Have you ever owned a business? I doubt that there is a sales tax state in the country that gives business the option of not collecting and paying sales tax. If they don't collect it, they will have to pay it from their own funds.

If you buy the car in 2024, you get the full $7,500 up front regardless of tax liability. 2023 purchase - old rule - you're out of luck.

Paranoia not necessary. No new requirements for automatic download to all Tesla cars with necessary hardware (virtually all).

For years many cars have had thumb buttons to push while then pulling the handle. It amazes me that anyone has difficulty understanding the bigger portion of the handle is "the button". The mechanical interior release issue is no longer a problem because it also manages the window when the car...

Automatic mode varies wheel temperature according to heat demand of the cabin. I use automatic climate control always, and I set the temerature twice a year - 70 in spring and 68 in approaching winter (wearing a coat). Only AC control I ever need to touch is defrost and I have that on the left...

Have you tried automatic? I can't believe anyone would worry about steering wheel heat controls anymore. BTW, I don't agree with your proposed changes, especially since conflicting traffic shows red now.

The engineering for the R2 prototype was likely completed long before a decision to go with NACS was made. The production model is not finalized at present, so why not wait and see?

NO! AGI - adjusted GROSS income, not TAXABLE income. Adjustments are clearly spelled out on your 1040 and are not the "deductions".

I don't think that an Internet forum is the place to get that kind of advice. Ask the IRS or a tax lawyer.

I suspect that batteries will be their biggest problem. They are specifying a 4695 new battery configuration for a structural battery pack. That design commits them to the battery spec. The factory for those batteries has not yet been built. Every single new battery plant has had delays and...

"Due" when filing is not the issue. You don't say why the refund. If it's because you overpaid i.e, with withholding, the credit would be part of your refund up to your total tax obligation for the year. If you paid no tax during the year 2023 and are getting a refund due to an amended previous...

10 years from now if you need a new battery, it will be cheaper, and your old battery will have substantial trade in or resale value to a recycler. Salvage value is already high.

Go to Amazon - there are several like this that work very well...

It is naive not to understand that Tesla's mission is to make EVs available to as many people as possible. It has always meant that cost of building and therefore retail prices would follow a downward curve. The 2022 price bubble was a result of extraordinary demand leading to year long waits...

Low 40 thousand value is right for used because you can by new inventory at about that price with Federal credit. You mentioned FSD - there is a window for transfer this month...

Ford EVs are getting their free NACS adapters now. Isn't it wonderful that Fords can use our Superchargers, but my 2021 Y can't use their CCS networks.:mad: Anyone here on X who can needle Elon on the 2021 Model Y orphan nonsense?

Google periodically updates satellite images, often with different lighting and season. On Google Earth you can step through the history of images.

All things considered, with the exception of those that bought during the mania of 2022, depreciation is at a very normal level considering the impact of the $7,500 tax credit. MSRPs of new Model Y's are virtually identical to what I paid in 2021. To trade for a new one would be at a price...

Should never close the Tesla app. Hit home without closing. If the app is closed because of a phone update or turning the phone off, reopen the app right away. On my Android phone, I can see at a glance that the app is open in the background because there will be a little number indicating a...

For the 2024 credit you can use the lesser of your MAGI for 2023 or 2024 MAGI is modified adjusted gross income. A good explanation of how to calculate it is found in this article: https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/taxes/modified-adjusted-gross-income-magi

...Just suggesting care and awareness of gift tax implications, CPA/legal advice recommended.

Better be careful about the exact interpretation of the rules on income limits, A workaround scheme may not be safe. The IRS likes jail for fraud....

The "up front credit" is for 2024 deliveries and does not require repayment of any amount larger than your tax liability for 2024. Only the income limits and car listing eligibility apply. If you get the credit but are later determined to be ineligible due to income, you will have to pay it back...

That's funny... My town is split down the middle and the more expensive side is eligible.

How's that going? :rolleyes: Production is the issue. There is an expanding market in that space with room for anyone with a good product with a good price to sell a lot of cars without hurting anyone else. A couple of those are weak on product, and they all miss on out the door price today...

Best-selling vehicle in the world, yes. Cailfornia car, yes. US overall vehicle, not yet. :rolleyes:

It's simple. If you convert funds from an IRA to a Roth IRA, you generate a taxable event of ordinary income tax on the amount taken from the IRA. The question today is whether you can do it now and have the event apply to your 2023 taxes.

It's "refundable" by any current definition of tax law as of 2024 tax year! Why the persistent paranoia?

747 400? I recognize the Boeing brown from my 767 days. That panel is a statement about automation. You need to compare it to the 747 100s and 200s that I flew with the biggest collection of buttons switches and dials that you can imagine, so many that a flight engineer with monkey arms could...

Placed in service was the delivery date. You can't get the 2023 credit.

You can also program defrost to the left steering wheel button... I'll have to check the list in controls in the car to see if you can just defog with the button.

Have you tried moving seat heat and steering heat to auto? It works fine modulating levels to cabin heat requirements. :rolleyes:

Right, but they can no longer use the most efficient mode and the long range isn't the only Y model affected. They now have to average best case/worst case.

Premium connection is essentially a data plan. Do you really think that Tesla gets data service free from AT&T. I don't know anywhere that data plans are free. It seems pretty cheap to avoid paying about $10 a month for unlimited data to allow full function of all features available on a...

Nobody has directly mentioned the real change. The testing must include the effects of all "latch" modes, chill, normal, and sport, modes that remain engaged when the car is turned off and back on. Best case and worst case are averaged. I doubt that sport mode was averaged in in previous EPA...

POS may not be set up yet. IRS arrangements may be pending. For now, U wouldn't count on POS for current deliveries.

Why worry about buttons when things are automatic and conform to your settings? Reviewers hate "no buttons" because the car isn't set up for them and can't be bothered or have the time to set things up before driving. For example, I set 70 degrees, pre-heat/cool (and defrost) before driving and...

Wow! I guess mine won't be worth $10,000 20 years from now.:rolleyes:

Thanks, Mike728, white/white wasn't on the website when I first checked. I'll suffer with the wrong wheels. :)

It's a great little model. I can't believe the nitpicking. I just wish that they had done one with white/white and standard wheels to match mine.

Look under the diffuser in the back to see the gender... :rolleyes:

You can now configure regen to use the brakes to transparently give you the same deceleration during periods where regen is unavailable or reduced.

The possible reduction to $3750 applies to LFP Chinese CATL battery powered standard range cars, The down payment language covers both dealers and direct sellers like Tesla.

2024 $7,500 tax credit can be used as a down payment...

Hardware 3 is not upgradeable to hardware 4.

19" Gemini wheel option is better for snow, and you can use your caps.

Has anyone actually seen a Tesla confirmation that the new Standard Range Y batteries are LFP?
