Can you add SAG-AFTRA FCU - Home please?... It's a popular actors & musician credit union in LA I belong to.. I believe their current rate is 2.49 IF this site is correct Lowest used car Loan Rates For All California Credit Unions. Thx for your useful spreadsheet!!!

I'm confused again.. You sure it isn't line 57 'Self-employment tax' that gets subtracted from line 63 'total tax' that shows the amount left that one can use the 7500 credit towards? Thx

Thanks mongo... But wouldn't I have to pay the full amount on line 57 'Self Employment tax- SE' ? And so the calc would be : line 63 'Total Tax' minus the amount on line 57 'Self Employment tax- SE' = the amount I could deduct up to 7500 using the 7500 tax credit. Hope that makes sense...

Many thanks for input all! Hmm.. I'm just Sole Proprietor (I'm looking into S-corp) & I'm making about the same as last year... Does anyone know what the line # is on a 1040 for what I paid for medicare/ social security (would that be line 57 'Self Employment tax' in the 'OtherTaxes' section)...

So if one is freelance and usually pays say 10k in taxes a year.. and so usually pays estimated quarterlies of say 2500... can they then just pay 625 a quarter? (So it is 625*4=2500+7500 tax credit = 10k) THX!

Cloth only on the pillars and bars (like this photo shows if you zoom into it... ).

No door panels... but opening and closing felt solid and tight and made a thud on closure. :) (Edit add.. re read your ?... the door handle area seemed very solid.) (Edit 2.. just read this on RedditTesla.."Model 3 at Century City Showroom • r/teslamotors "I was there and the headliners are...

Just got back from Century City Tesla in LA.. Wow! Looks better and even more proportional in person! Really solid feel throughout.. and yes, it was ALL cloth interior which looked 'fine', as in good quality and feel. I had to stare at it to see it was cloth, at least in the store lighting...

CA has a 2500 subsidy.. you get a check. It is NOT a tax credit like the Fed 7500 one is. And it is funded, CVRP Funding Status and as mentioned above: What does the rebate waitlist mean to me? Funding for Electric Vehicle Rebates Approved in California "On the final day of the legislative...

Wow, slightly off topic but as far as buying expenses I just calculated that in CA taxes & fees for a 37k new car = 4,100! Ouch. (calculator for CA here: https://www.dmv.ca.gov/wasapp/FeeCalculatorWeb/newVehicleFees.do ) Fwiw, I got to 37k by this calculation: 35k base + 1k paint +1k...

THX for that, I'm probably in a similar scenario.. except I pay freelacers 'quarterly estimated taxes' so can use those usual big payments to pay the car monthly.

Yikes, why is the monthly for the T3 likely to be so much more than comparable 35k-ish cars?

they just need more of these:

Check AQMD / 'Air Quality Management District' in your area.. or call the S. CA one listed above and ask... I don't know about N CA but I believe there's something similar in the Central Valley.

ok ok.. but let's stay on topic please..

I believe the only Teslas avail. are used ones from CarMax. A Tesla 'dealership' needs to join the program to make a NEW TM3 qualify... (I think that'd be ALL of Tesla 'Sales' the way they don't have a dealership program)

But I do! My wife & I are both freelance & I just happen to have a very old 2nd car that I use for just very local errands. (I realize there might not be a lot of people in my situation.) I want the 7500 fed + 2500 state + 4200 replaceyourride to get a 36,000 TM3 (paint) - 14,200 in incentives...

Hi, if you live in Los Angeles or in Southern California and have an old car to trade in then please join me in requesting Tesla to join the incredible "Replace Your Ride” program which is offered by the CA state & the South Coast Air Quality Management District. This program offers people who...

Nice! Would be better to see various colors on a wider shot with the car (even a Photoshop version for now). My only concern is how to keep it from being quickly swiped.

Yea I can... how dare you say that, you're simply arrogant. The Fed subsidy of 7500 is 21.4% off of 35000. And with the CA rebate on top it's a 26k car. THAT I can afford.

THE WHOLE POINT OF THE FED SUBSIDY WAS TO MAKE CLEAN CARS & EV's MORE AFFORDABLE! Especially in their early development when their development costs & final price is higher than a comparable ice car! For me, without the fed subsidy it costs 7500 more than I budgeted & planned for... With the...

I always go by the rule to drive 9 miles over the fwy speed limit (single digit) and to be sure there's always some car here & there passing me... the most certain way to go fast and not ever get a speeding ticket... on hwy 5 that means driving 79 mph which is plenty fast enough, I think 85 is...

I agree that people get all out of whack over maybe 2 long trips a year.. With the Sr at $9000 less I can deal with a couple 15-30 min stops twice a year... and if not car rentals are CHEAP these days!

great to know a 5'10" person can manage! Big question now is can 2 people comfortably sleep side by side in there? How close to a queen size bed is it? (I know it's not queen size.. just HOW CLOSE?) thx!

I love my Mac but what advantages does this have over just using my Tesla iphone app?

Hmm! I just checked what might be possible when Tesla finishes building their planned 40 stall SuperCharger in Kettleman, CA. + I can get from LA to Kettleman with no stop... It's 167 miles, and if I leave home with 99% I'd arrive with 12% charge. Speed 75 mph. Duration = 2:21. + Then from...

Dang.. sure wish I could justify the Long Range version... (5k I could maybe justify but not 9k, which could go to a lot of big trip rentals.)

I just tried the LA to SF route using a standard TM3... it says I have to stop 2 times for 1:25 hrs??!! Is my calculation correct? Wow, seriously bummed, I was really hoping to stop 1 time for under 1 hr for a 375 route...

Sorry, I knew this wasn't the ideal spot but didn't see a charging forum.. and don't know how to move it.

What if Tesla made semi-truck PowerPack based Super-Chargers? I made a post about this here: What if Tesla made semi truck PowerPack based super-chargers

There're posts around that during the unusual rush to see the solar eclipse there was long wait times at SuperChargers.. and with the TM3 coming this may happen more often. So I wonder if this might be a partial solution? What if Tesla made semi-truck based Super-Chargers?... • each completely...

Texas or the Deep South? You've got to be joking! There's a reson most innovation & arts are developed in CA.

Hmm, I wonder how buying the Standard battery and standard interior will effect it's value in the ride sharing program? Obviously a standard battery TM3 will have to 'go home' to re charge more often but hope they don't show users which interior the car has or charges less for standard.

push those bumpers and a big plastic dvd slides out. good luck seeing out any windows or the road. wouldn't want to be in the back seat in a forward flying crash.

I was there around 10:30 and there was at least 350 in line... got out around 1pm and there was still a few hundred in line. I believe the store had around 500 swipe their card by 1pm.

I want him to give us free autopilot software. :)
