    Tax credit 2024 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    True about no paying back if tax liability for the year is less than 7500. However if the 2024 MAGI is over the limit and if you claim the credit, that has to be paid back later with interest I suppose.

    Take a look at EV Tax Credit 2024: How It Works, What Qualifies - NerdWallet Per the IRS, you can use your MAGI from either the year the car is delivered, or the year before delivery What am I wrong about?

    Tax credit 2024 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    That is not true. You will have to pay back later when you do your taxes for 2024 if your tax liability is less than 7500. If you are above the income limit in 2023 then there is no upfront payment whatsoever in 2024 at the point of sale.

    Tax credit 2024 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    Its not the taxable pay but the Adjusted Gross income. Is your AGI < 150K for individual or 300K for married? Also did you pay more than 7500 in federal taxes last year? If the answer is Yes, you should get the full 7500. Tax expert cannot help here. Turbotax is usually correct.

    Full Self Driving trial

    I used the FSD once last Saturday and I was not impressed. Its too slow on turns with a stop sign. It stops completely twice and takes several seconds to double check before turning. It does heavy acceleration and braking on highways. While taking an exit it took a hard right and drove over...

    Is there a reason to get the Tesla wall connector over other level 2 home chargers?

    It does when I checked last in Jan this year. You may want to check the PSEG website for the list of qualifying chargers for the latest.

    2024 Model Y LR. Do you think this can be repaired or totaled?

    Can you prove you drove into a ditch while avoiding a deer and not by dozing off? Good luck convincing the insurance company. Hitting a deer intentionally? I never said that. Its the stuff you manufactured.

    Big hole in rear engine cover and oil leaking

    Is it really oil or some battery fluid that is leaking? I thought there was no engine oil in an EV.

    2024 Model Y LR. Do you think this can be repaired or totaled?

    Did you hit the deer? If not then driving into a ditch is your fault and your insurance cost will go up. I am not sure if you can use the deer as an excuse for driving into a ditch unless you have some dash cam footage to prove that. You would have been better off hitting that deer.

    After all the deductions, if the taxable income dips below 150K, can one claim the tax credit?

    Tax credit 2024 [The tax credit discussion thread]

    Basic qs on EV tax credit. It says "Modified AGI under $150,000" for single filing. If someone makes AGI of 151000, the std deduction will take it under 150K. In that case is one eligible for the EV tax credit?

    Issues With Installing a Charger in NJ with no offstreet parking

    If you don't have a garage I cannot see how any township can issue a permit. Those side walk intrusion pictures are ugly and I personally won't vouch for it.

    USA MY RWD has soft limited LR battery!

    It depends on the weather I think. It was in the 20s and when I navigated to SC, the energy app showed, 5.8% for preconditioning and 9% for driving. When I checked again this week when it was in the 60s, preconditioning was around 2%

    Did you navigate to the Tesla SC? The battery conditioning consumes a lot of battery. Almost 80% of actual driving.

    Fender trim garnish - Anyone ever lose one randomly?

    I experienced the same issue today in the pouring NJ rain today. Interestingly its the passenger side front just like others. Was this fixed under warranty? Mine is a MY and its only 2 months old.

    Have anyone experienced this?

    Found this thread and it looks like its a common issue. Mine also came off in the pouring rain today in NJ but thankfully did not come out completely. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/fender-trim-garnish-anyone-ever-lose-one-randomly.302602/

    Have anyone experienced this?

    For now it appears to be secure but I am afraid it may come out again. Will keep an eye.

    Have anyone experienced this?

    The following came out. Not sure what it's called but is it a cause to worry? I pushed it and it snapped back in. Do I need to raise a ticket for this or it's too minor to even bother.

    Cheaper to buy a new Model Y?

    Perhaps the so called techies in the bay area are not well informed. 2023 RWD is a great deal but people are fixated on the dual motor AWD version.

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    I have a 3 car garage and the clicker supports 3 so only one clicker per car. I also have eKyro smart garage door opener controlled by an App with Google home and Alexa integration. I mostly use the clicker as I find it faster than opening an App on the phone. I will forgo the comfort of auto...

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    Its only one clicker per car. Its too irrelevant to display any tech prowess. You bust your ass in the gym but lazy enough to lift a finger? Good luck impressing a date with that.

    Homelink retrofit install failure

    I looked into all of this and eventually went with a $10 garage door clicker that I hook it on to the sun visor. Works like a charm with no subscription.

    Can we say that the Dec built 2023 RWD is better than 2024 RWD? Better battery capacity and premium audio.

    2024 US model Y rwd battery type and size

    2023 MY RWD is definitely 70 kWh. I precisely calculated that my battery charges 17% with 12 kWh so 100% would be approx 70 kWh.

    2024 US model Y rwd battery type and size

    That's what it looks like plus the downgraded audio system. 2023 Dec built MY RWD got the best bargain.

    2024 US model Y rwd battery type and size

    2023 MY RWD Dec build battery is different from those that came earlier in the year 2023. 2023 MY RWD Dec build battery is also different from the 2024 MY RWD because 2023 MY RWD lost the tax credit.

    Not sure about Canada but in the US it comes from Fremont and Austin Giga factories. I believe it comes from Shanghai for Canada.

    Is the new Macan EV a MY killer?

    Tesla's death has been Hypothesized a million times in the past. I was one of them.

    Is the new Macan EV a MY killer?

    Tesla has the first mover advantage, SC network and an ecosystem. Think of it like an iPhone. Once in, very difficult to move. It is expensive for the company to sell low volume EVs. Porsche will lose money on every EV sale until the management pulls the plug. Or they will have to go all in on...

    Is the new Macan EV a MY killer?

    There were several EVs being touted as Tesla killers. Lucid, Rivian, Hyundai, Ford to name a few. I highly doubt Porsche will make any dent on Tesla. BYD is a bigger threat to Tesla. There is a greater chance Porsche EVs will cease to exist in the future with little demand.

    USA MY RWD has soft limited LR battery!

    Any idea how to get the decimal for the %? I only see the whole number. My calculation is simple. 1184.69 kWh/16 should give the total battery capacity.

    USA MY RWD has soft limited LR battery!

    I did a quick test on my 2023 MY RWD. 11.8469 kWh added. Battery charged from 62% to 78% The total capacity then is 74 kWh. Is that the usable battery or the total battery capacity(without SW limited)? I guess it should be the total usable battery capacity right?

    2024 US model Y rwd battery type and size

    2023 RWD MY qualified for Tax credit in 2023 but not in 2024 (Because of rule change). 2024 RWD MY qualifies for Tax credit in 2024 so certainly the battery must be different. Those with 2024 RWD MY should post their charging rate from Tesla SC to compare. That would give a definitive answer on...

    Is the new Macan EV a MY killer?

    Range is everything in an EV. No one buys a Taycan to drive at 60 MPH and get an improved range. For that price range it should have at least 300 miles of range for it to have a chance unless you are buying it to park it in your drive way to flaunt.

    Is the new Macan EV a MY killer?

    Agree about 3 but Y is much better for tall drivers. I test drove both and decided 3 is not for me. No complaints about Y and I am 6'3''.

    Is the new Macan EV a MY killer?

    Unlike ICE vehicles, does a Porsche offer any special driving experience when it comes to EV? I believe the driving experience between EVs are not drastically different compared to ICE cars. The Taycan is a joke. With roughly 200 miles of range and a price of 100k+ I sometimes wonder who are the...
