Canada Model S Plaid and LR orders and deliveries!

[AMGF]

I don't want to distract from all the delivery excitement over here, but the luxury tax was a hot topic in this thread a month or two ago. The gov is accepting feedback until September 30. I sent them an email, and if you don't mind my saying so, you should too!

Consultation on proposed Luxury Tax - Canada.ca

Consultation on proposed Luxury Tax

www.canada.ca

I made the case that expensive purchases (like a Model S) should be encouraged because these cutting-edge purchases drive innovation, which lowers the cost for everyone else down the road. Good for everybody? I think so. If the bloke can afford the car, let him buy it! Tax based on income, not on what we choose to spend our hard-earned money on.

The discussion started around here, if you want to read what others were sending in.

Or don’t vote for the manchild that got there because his father was Prime Minister. That could work too.

My response:
In response to your request for feedback regarding the proposed luxury tax, I would like to address my concerns over the proposed $100k threshold for cars. While I don't disagree with the idea of a luxury tax, I would proposed the following modifications:
1) Fully Electric Battery EVs should be exempt, or have a higher threshold than gasoline powered vehicles. This would be more consistent with the Government Climate objectives, especially given that most $100k+ gasoline-powered vehicles tend to have greater fuel consumption as well. Battery EV's are naturally more expensive that gasoline powered cars, no need to make them even more expensive
2) The threshold must change every year with inflation, and this should be included as part of the legislation

Thank you for the opportunity to respond

I agree, at first I thought EVs were gonna be exempted but no. If we could at least get this it would be a great win. Not having a new tax at all would be even better.

To play devil’s advocate, the millions of revenue lost by not taxing luxury EVs is probably not worth the few people it might convert with the ~$5k saving.

Tesla will hold the car for you while you resolve your trade in?
