Tax credit is for 2 quarters after Tesla reaches their 200,000 cars sold. Meaning, they reached it July, so they have the last two quarters of 2018 to sell cars with the $7500 tax credit. After that it goes down to $3500 for X amount of time and then another amount... I stopped listening after I heard 2 full quarters. That means that every car they sell until December will be eligible for the $7500 tax credit. So, as long as you buy it this year, you'll get the credit.
Several sources, but Ben's pretty smart:
I'm in the same boat as you. My wife's lease is up on her Leaf in November, and I ordered my Tesla in June, so we didn't know everything about the tax credit. So I decided 3 months of double payments was doable as long as I got the full $7500.
If you order today, chances are really good that they'll contact you in a few weeks for delivery. How long can you put them off? I'm not sure, because I replied as soon as I got the email and said when can I pick it up? I'm supposed to be out of town August 4th, but I'm coming back a day early to get my car!
