Agree. I was in the market for a lexus but ended up with Tesla because it will save me $9500 through tax credits. Another reason to go with an EV was that I hate to refuel at gas stations in winters here in Denver. Its not a luxurious car but its a technology car.
I don't know about this...I've been following the OutofSpec Detailing YT channel and Colton has been analysing a number of new cars from a number of manufactures including the well established VW, MB, Nissan and Ford (along with Telsa, Rivian and Lucid). The Tesla build and paint has been holding its own against even the establised ICE guys. Colton mentions he sees all sorts of issues with Audis, Porsches, BMWs...you name it. You should see the mis-matched paint on the Ford he recently had in the shop...ridiculous.
Don’t think you did enough research before booking your order, if you had done your ROI earlier you could have saved 250$. Enjoy your used Toyota and hope you get better customer service from them.
Everyone is waiting for their 'guidance' which could change the rules. I recommend going HERE
I missed the tow option at the bottom - All OK after all.
Well I don't know... in Winter. Right now on a morning where it freezes over night I have to go out fire up my Cummins powered truck for a 10 mile trip to town.
I used to see verbiage regarding critical battery components. Has it been temporarily removed until the IRS guidance is released or am I overlooking it?
wow. both were same may be I booked on 1/17 I got the VIN? Not sure. but hang on. you might get the VIN suddenly at any time.
You read that the Toyota executives said that the model Y is a work of art, after their teardown, right?
I'd say that I think the government has recently realized they need Tesla to meet their goals, like having X number of public chargers by Y year. Thinks might be better after Elon met with the White House and suddenly an agreement was reached to open Tesla chargers in return for government $$. Hopefully this good will extends to the cars in terms of rules for the tax credit.I imagine it will be similar to past tax rebate incentives. I really have no idea, but I can guess.
If they make the qualifications too complex it's going to create a lot of extra work. If they still have funding, they keep the full amount open. Waning coffers, they begin to reign it in. The best middle ground is to cut it in half at some point based on battery origin. That way they didn't completely erase it. That's a calculated political move that tries to make it work for everyone instead of placing undue burden on EV makers who didn't make the deadline and had customers who were depending on it although stll at a loss. The deal may have already been cut and they are just delaying the announcement. Keep the full amount throughout 2023 and everyone is happy.
The idea was to incentivize US produced EVs, although Hyundai has argued for the rebate with little or no basis. High end is priced outside of rebate ceilings...so that only leaves Tesla and maybe a few other players like the Chevy Bolt. Personally I think a lot of this is going to depend on how much the government want's to incentivize Tesla in particular since they are really the main player here. Past relations have been shoddy at best between Tesla and Uncle Sam, with US leaning more towards GM support publicly. They seem to be better bedfellows, even though Tesla has them beat by a mile.
Hopefully opening up the SC network was seen as a token of goodwill by the GM leaning administration who will continue to support rebates for those buying Tesla.
There. Did that answer your question?
You only decided this AFTER ordering the car and waiting a month and a half? If they had handed you one in a week, would you then have loved it?
Same specs and order date but your first Updated EDD is now my current. No VIN.
Just make sure you qualify for the tax credit.. there is a max income limit you know...
Hahahaha. I did. I came to know about the Tesla price drop on 13th but wasted 7 days to make sure how the tax credits work and if I qualify. That's why I ordered on 20th Jan and was cursing myself for the delay when the EDD moved into April-May. Happy now that I am getting my car tomorrow. Will post pics soon.Just make sure you qualify for the tax credit.. there is a max income limit you know...
