Congrats to those who are getting their Tesla delivered on or before Feb 28 and may get full IRS tax benefit. Nice score!
I do not want to beat the dead horse again (sorry if it is off-topic). Lot of discussion around the potential IRS tax credit. Current guideline is only in effect until "March". We do not know what date - it is possible that the IRS can come on Feb 28 with new guideline, which may or may not reduce the full tax credit, or come up with some wired formula, that will increase/decrease/no credit - anything is possible. Or any date in March or later - who knows when, only IRS knows, maybe.
So, for those of us who are not getting the vehicle in Feb - we can just keep our fingers crossed and hope and pray, pray, pray .
One thing I heard - I think I read somewhere here that even if IRS comes with new guidelines in March, they usually give 60 days for public comments before anything takes into effect? Is this true - if yes, does this mean that folks who may get their cars in Apr/May still 'have a chance' to get the credit?
What's coming in March is a "notice of proposed rulemaking" and not the actual rule. That said, some seem to think that the issuance of the proposed rule will cause the battery sourcing requirements to go into effect. That seems odd to me but our government does odd things. Of course if Tesla's non-LFP offerings will meet the requirements then it becomes moot.
