    August Order Estimate Delivery

    Did anyone who recently got their car get free supercharger miles based on ordering with a referral code? At the time of order, Tesla was still giving out free supercharger miles if you used another owner's referral code. It's my understanding that those miles show up in your loot box when you...

    August Order Estimate Delivery

    Thanks for sharing. I'm coming from another EV (VW eGolf) as well and wondered the same thing. I test drove a M3 and was fairly impressed with the performance. But, coming from an EV the instant torque and acceleration is not new to me. I expect the Y to be fun to drive but often wondered if...

    August Order Estimate Delivery

    Woke up at 3 am last night and couldn't sleep. Reached over on the night stand and decided to check for an EDD change. And Boom... VIN! No text yet though.

    August Order Estimate Delivery

    My EDD just narrowed to 10 days. My heart flutters a bit when I see a change, but happy to see the end date didn't change.

    August Order Estimate Delivery

    Happy to see all the VIN's here (even some pretty similar builds). I'm still twiddling my thumbs on day 1 of my EDD... but things could be worse.

    CA Waiting Room

    So, you chose to sell your only car for profit before you even had VIN, knowing full well what the delivery issues are with Tesla? Now you're complaining about changing EDD's? I get the frustration, but that just sounds like poor planning on your part.

    August Order Estimate Delivery

    Start of my EDD window today and got pushed back, but also narrowed. So... it is what it is. I'm regretting the "vanilla" purchase at this point and wish I added 20'' or white interior but... eh whatever.

    Order hold automatically removed

    Most people I know use it for bike racks. If you're an avid cyclist or mountain biker, having a tow hitch mounted bike rack is a lot better than a roof or trunk rack.

    August Order Estimate Delivery

    I'm happy to see this conversation. It was the one thing I brought up with the rep after my test drive. I currently drive a VW eGolf and the regen is adjustable. I've gotten quite used to coasting and I believe I'm getting better efficiency than with the regen activated. With no engine...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    Did I read that right? You think people buying a 60k luxury car deserve a tax credit over low income families? There are currently lower cost EV's out there if you can't afford a Tesla. As much as I'd love the tax credit as well, no one buying a luxury car (i.e. Tesla) needs it more than a...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    This would be great for many of us taking delivery in January. But, I'm over it. I doubt any of us here really need the credit anyway. I am personally divesting myself from this discussion and moving on to looking forward to delivery (whenever that may be)

    August Order Estimate Delivery

    Funny you say that. My neighbor ordered the exact same configuration as me (LR/white/black/19). The only exception was a tow hitch. He ordered 2 days before me (8/29 vs 8/31) and got his car about a month ago. I'm now looking at late January.

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    I'm not sure if he's softening. He also states that he thinks the bill is full of gimmicks... which it is. He wants to see a bill with less items and funded for the full 10 years. But he also wants it under 2T, which is impossible. I believe he actually supports most of the items in the bill...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    Thanks for the clarification. I kept hearing about the EOY deadline and wasn't sure if it was purely political or if there was anything fiscal driving it as well. Sounds like it's political. One other thing to keep in mind is the child tax credits, those end at the end of the year. There is a...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    I am under the belief that if the Bill doesn't pass before Jan 1, it's basically dead in the water. Someone else more knowledgeable may correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there are budgetary requirements which basically make it so the bill has to be signed before the New Year. I wouldn't...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    A lot of us are trying figure out how to navigate our deliveries along with the potential passage of the EV credit. It's important for us to see examples of what people have done and how Tesla is handling it. This is very relevant to this thread.

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    I have no expectation that Republicans would cross the aisle for BBB. I think there is a chance that Paid Leave get's pulled out of the bill with the promise it gets addressed separately (this would be in 2022-2023). This could get Manchin onboard with BBB and appease Sanders/Gillibrand...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    Looking back, it's really too bad they didn't put the EV credits into the Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill. I don't see the EV credits being a deal breaker with the republicans that signed onto that bill. The cost is minimal and it fits alongside the other EV charging funding that was passed...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    It starting to sound like they've worked out some of Sinema's issues. She seems to be onboard with the current taxes and the revision to the Drug pricing elements of the bill. As you said, neither seem to be concerned about the EV credits so do those look pretty safe for now. Manchin and...

    I think the original SALT cap is set to expire in 2025 so this is actually viewed as a net savings over 10 years.

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    So they're moving forward with the vote on the bill as-is because moderate democrats wanted to confirm it was deficit neutral. CBO confirms it's not with $367B in deficit spending. So... how's the vote going to go?

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    If it doesn't get passed before the end of the year, there is no point in holding anymore. At that point, it's either totally dead, or not going to go into affect until 2023 IMO. There will be no more urgency for Congress to pass it and it will get dragged out for many more months. Let's be...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    This is where I am at. I was a huge EV Credit skeptic a few weeks ago and figured it would be the first to go. But the fact that they survived the first round of major cuts shows they have more support than I thought. Other than Manchin's attack on the Union portion, there hasn't really been...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    Can someone explain what happens when you get a VIN? Does that mean the car has actually been built or is in the process of being built? If you put an order on hold after VIN assignment does that mean your car is essentially sitting on a lot somewhere waiting for you to release the hold? My...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    My EDD just dropped from late January to mid December. That makes me nervous. I'm wondering if I should put it on hold now or just wait and see how the bill plays out next week. I hate these decisions. I've been tracking this too long to lose out on the credit by a couple weeks. That would...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    I'm currently driving a 2016 VW egolf that I bought used for 9500. Will sell in 2022 when my MYLR shows up. My egolf could go for <5K to someone when it's sold. This credit will greatly increase the value of the used car so if I'm lucky I can benefit on both sides. ;). That said, there...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    A couple weeks ago, I was convinced the EV credits were out. I figured they would been an obvious cut and now they actually look to be one of the least controversial parts of the bill.

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    Something tells me they will be able to get out each and every vehicle produced in Q4 regardless of what they do. I wouldn't expect deliveries to be impacted. I'm sure if they offer vehicles to people with long wait times earlier, there will be people willing to jump on it and miss out on the...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    I just saw this at the end of the text. Can someone clarify what item (2) is? From what I gather subsection (b) is the actual credit amounts. I read this to mean the tax credits are not actually effective until 2023. Tell me I'm wrong. Sec. 36C. New qualified plug-in electric drive motor...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    This is where I'm at. Currently sitting on a delivery date of 1/2 - 1/20 for my MY. Can anyone confirm this applies to vehicles "purchased" after 1/1/2022? I'm reading through the text but can't find anything that states the date it would apply.

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    I don't believe there is a Senate version. The lower limits you mention are from a non-binding vote the Senate took a few months ago to move the process forward. The House version is what is planned to move forward, but will have to be revised to get Senate agreement before the House goes...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    There is no way it will be retroactive. It's meant to be an incentive for people to buy and not a reward for people that have already made the purchase. It would make no sense to apply this retroactively... sorry. Plus the current proposal (which starts 1/22) is likely to get scaled back even...

    September 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    I just posted in another thread on the EV credits. My EDD currently stands at Dec 18 - Jan 8. I would definitely defer if the cutoff for EV credit is 1/1 as it's been proposed in the current version of the bill. However, the way the bill is looking, I doubt it will go through as-is. It's...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    I've been following this very closely all summer. I have a MYLR scheduled for 12/19 - 01/18 so if something were to pass and be effective 01/2022 I would be hard pressed to make sure my delivery was in the new year. After the political fireworks of this week I highly doubt we'll see anything...

    2021 EV Tax Credit

    While my delivery date keeps fluctuating, it's now at 9/9 - 9/20. I was kinda hoping it would get pushed to later in the year to let the bill work itself out a bit more. It will drive me nuts if the credit goes through just after I take delivery and I miss out. Now that congress is...
