    Is the FSD package taxed if added after delivery? (California)

    Hello, I purchased a new 2023 RWD Model 3 with the $15k full-self driving upgrade on 6/25/23 in California. One of my friends told me that if I added the FSD package after delivery then I would not have been taxed on that. Is thattrue? If that is true, then would I be able to have Tesla...

    Model Y 20" Induction Wheels... For $6K extra? NSW Stamp Duty

    I have a Model Y on order and just added both the white interior and 20" induction wheels as I love the look. But in NSW, this combination puts you over the stamp duty exemption and adds $3K extra to the order price. So removing the 20" wheels reduces the purchase price by ~$6K (plus interest)...

    Any policy/tax reason to pick up car in January instead of December if AGI >300K?

    We have a December expected delivery date for our Model Y 7 Seater, after we placed the reservation in the end of March. We are above the 300K AGI. Is there any tax benefit/credit/rebate or other benefit to delaying until Jan 2023? We live in California. Would the car itself be any different...

    Canada Tax double-dinged?

    Are we seriously looking at being double-dinged if the government applies tariffs to Teslas? That is, we're going to be hit with a luxury tax and now an additional tariff? Will they apply the tariff first, then the luxury tax on top of it?

    Poll - Are you waiting for the infrastructure bill before ordering?

    Figured I would make a poll to see where I am at versus the rest of you in regards to Tesla ordering... In another post i commented there are two situations: 1) Those who cannot wait and want a Tesla 2) Those who can wait and want a Tesla What we may miss out on jf we accept delivery before...

    Acceleration boost in Ontario?

    Hey - for those who have purchased the Acceleration boost for LR AWD in Ontario, does the $2700 include tax, or is it actually $2700 + tax? I’m definitely going to buy it after my next pay check, I just want to know what’s going to go on my credit card.

    Is there any place where Tesla publishes their policy on calculating the 2019 Federal Credit for leased vehicles? Do they give full credit or only a partial credit? Does this calculation show up on the lease agreement? Thanks!

    Tesla needs to get its financial house in order.

    Tesla lost over $702 million in the first quarter of 2019. I'm surprised that this news is apparently not an article on TMC. Elon Musk reportedly laid blame on the decline of federal tax credits, complained that people don't like buying cars in winter and said Tesla is facing more competition...

    Research: Will imposing tax on Tesla cars really improve air pollution?

    Tesla Vehicles do not emit any gaseous pollution on streets because they are battery-powered, unlike other conventional private cars which work on combustion engines. It is interesting to see that despite knowing the severity of the roadside pollution in different traffic-prone areas, the...

    Tax in Georgia

    I was wondering if anyone in Georgia knows the tax rate for the Model 3. I know it's 7%, but it's based off of a registry, right? But what will it get taxed on? I've put on order a fully loaded AWD Model 3, which comes out to $63,500. Will it be 7% on the rear wheel without EAP/FSD?

    Percentage of People Deferring

    This is an important number for a late reservation holder like myself (August, 2016), as the reservation numbers certainly skew positively on March 31, 2016, and weened off to a trickle after the first several days of it being live. (For those who do not know what a positive skew is...

    EV/Tesla Tax Credit Eligibility

    I had a question about eligibility for the EV/Tesla tax credit. From what I hear, your tax liability needs to exceed the credit amount (in this case $7,500) in order for one to receive the $7,500 refund/credit. What is the definition of tax liability - is it total taxes paid/due for the entire...

    Yet Another Cost Calculator

    I made my own cost calculator based heavily on one I found somewhere (I can't remember where -- if you recognize it, please tell me so I can give credit). The justification for yet another calculator was to review monthly expenses the car would bring to convince myself and my wife that we could...

    What's the deal with the state/federal incentives?

    Hi folks. Got my Model S a bit over a year ago. I believe we are eligible for $7,500 income tax credit (federal) as well as $1,750 (PA State rebate, first 250 applicants). I submitted these when I filed my taxes last year. I did get the $1,750 from the PA State, but have not heard back at all...

    Federal Tax Credit and Tesla buy-back

    In 2016, I purchased a MX and claimed the Federal Tax Credit of $7500 for the purchase. For various reasons, I ended up requesting a buy-back from Tesla, and they agreed (all on good terms.) Are there are requirements regarding the 2016 tax credit that I may need to consider? Looking at the tax...

    Time running out for Model X 2017 *massive* business-use tax deduction

    Hi everyone, As some of you are aware from previous threads here and on Forums and Reddit, because the Model X has a weight (GVWR, which is printed on a sticker on inside of frame on driver's door) of greater than 6000 lbs, it qualifies as a commercial heavy-duty vehicle, not as a passenger...

    H&R Block Tax Credit Issues

    I tried doing my taxes this weekend using H&R Block (I always TurboTax in previous years). I decided to use H&R Block for the 10% Amazon refund bonus. It's not worth the headache. The only EV tax credit that H&R Block seems to support is the $7500 federal tax credit (30%). It does not support...
