The 25k is just a bonus deduction for putting new equipment into service. You also get a 50% deduction of the purchase price minus the 25k bonus for year one(Model X weight is >6000lbs). Then adjust all the above by your actual business usage

This all assumes purchase. If you leased you get peanuts, just payment write offs.

Both(lease/purchase) qualify for ancillary items like registration, tires, 30% of charger install etc...Again adjust for business usage

That being said, ask your CPA as any advice on this board should be taken with a grain of salt as we are not accountants, including me
