    I'm assuming yes, as generally an order means you're locked into that price - unless it's a price decrease and you may have the option to take the newer price. There are many comments here about people that ordered the MY when orders opened and got FSD for $5k, then when the MY price dropped $3k last summer, wanted to get that price PLUS only pay $5k for FSD. Basically, I think most of them were told you have to either take the old price or the new price for car and options. Can't mix and match.

    hope springs eternal eh?

    It could come back tomorrow, or next week, or next month, or next year.

    But it's not there right now and we have no guarantee it will be in April.

    And I thought it was worth mentioning that it did indeed drop to his predicted price this week, just before it disappeared. It would almost guarantee that someone else would reply and say it's gone if I didn't bother to mention it.

    The phase-out of the $7500 credit had little impact on sales other than the few weeks before and after the effective date. As you consider this, income limits and a price cap are in the mix. It is all a roll of the dice!

    Income limits only impact the secondary market. There are no proposed income limits for the tax deduction on the purchase of a new car.

    I know others have mentioned this but I would be really surprised if any change in incentives happened that weren't retroactive. I'm fairly familiar with IRS Codes and I haven't yet seen anything that starts mid-way or partially through a tax year. (By no means does that rule out the possibility.)

    Seems like it would be easier to just back date it or have it come into effect at the start of the next year, etc.
