Why I'm Ditching My Tesla Model 3 Reservation
...Interesting read...
I'm not buying an iPhone X because I don't want one.
The End.
"4. Kiss the $7,500 goodbye?"
It's only good for the first 200,000 EV cars sold for each company but that doesn't prevent 400,000 depositors at all.
With new GOP tax plans, that could be repealed even before the limit reached in future!
Even in the perfect world, 200,000 get it out of 400,000 depositors. The result will still be the same: Most will not get the credit as time goes on.
Does anyone know about the tax credit in Ontario, Canada? I would like to take advantage of the $14,000 credit, but worry about the delay in receiving my car.You really need to learn how the tax credit phases out. What you said there is NOT true.
Tesla can sell 2 quarters worth of cars after they hit 200,000. If they sell 50,000 in that time or 500,000 in that time all of them get the full tax credit. S, X, 3 all of the ones sold in the 2 quarters get full credit, then all the S, X, 3 in the next two quarters get 1/2 credit, then in the next two quarters all the S, X, 3 get a 1/4 the credit.
The key concept is 200,000 US cars sold is the trigger not the amount of cars that get the credit. There is no limit to how many cars that can get the full tax credit other than how many cars Tesla can deliver in a 6 month period. Whatever number that is, it is in addition to the 200,000 they sold prior to that.
If you are going to try and debunk FUD at least do so with correct information.

Whatever number that is, it is in addition to the 200,000 they sold prior to that. So if they produce 50,000 in 6 months then 250,000 teslas got the full credit (mostly Model S, lesser amount Model X, and even less Model 3). If they produce 500,000 in 6 months then the total is 700,000 Teslas that got the full credit (Mostly Model 3, with a lesser number of Model S, and the least being Model X).
The key to Model 3 reservation holders is how many can be delivered in a 6 month window. Not directly related to the number 2 or the number 0 no matter how many times you see that number tossed around.

IN MY OPINION, Tesla would like to see the tax credit go away. This would give them a huge $7,500 advantage over those newcomers into the EV market. Nissan Leaf and GM Bolt are not their competition. Their competition is BMW, Audi, and Porsche concept EVs. If Tesla uses up their EV tax credit allotment in the next 12 to 18 months, the other makers would still have as much as a $7,500 advantage for years to come if the credit remains in place. And in reality, the Federal Tax Credit has achieved its desired results, - acceptance of the EV concept as a mainstream means of personal transportation. To encourage further adoption of the EV concept, the Feds could eliminate the EV tax credit and tax ICE cars a surcharge (maybe $7,500 each) for cleaning up the environment as a result of their pollution. i'm sure this will elicit some "disagrees" but it is worth it!Still boggles my mind how Tesla has not stated anything publicly about the House's attempt at killing the EV tax credit prematurely.
Both Nissan and GM have stated they will work to preserve the credit....where is Tesla's voice?
...at least do so with correct information.

I'm starting to think the author can't really afford a new car.
