Complicating this is the fact that US production will shift to M3 Highland at some point in the first half. M3 Highland, to my eye, has many outright improvements over the 2023 M3. Sure some people are upset about losing the turn signal stalk, but everything else is a big upgrade. I guess it depends on how consumers respond. How much are people willing to pay for those M3 Highland upgrades?Saw so many comments that confidently stated that Tesla would slash RWD/LR prices by $7,500 when they become ineligible for the tax credit.. Of course it could still happen but I always found it wildly unrealistic that Tesla would eat the cost.
Maybe I missed the explanation for this, but why don't M3RWD and M3LR qualify at least for a $3750 tax credit? Even knowing they lose the battery part of the tax credit, those models are still fully assembled in the US.
