High School Raffle of new Tesla S 85kwh sedan

[MikeL]

I'm just starting to think that maybe, there is a possibility that I might not have won.

 

[carrerascott]

They just didn't want to call and wake me up. I'm up now, so you guys can call and let me know I won. Thanks for letting me sleep in a bit!

 

[Al Sherman]

Don't tell me one of those "local" people who aren't on TMC won. Ah the humanity!

 

[ModelX]

I'm sure they will call any minute-but they haven't yet!

 

[andrewket]

Maybe they'll call me and say even though I didn't buy a ticket they felt I deserved to win.

A little off topic, but ironic. I was at a charity event in LA a few months ago where they had a model S on a raffle. The guy that won the raffle was a Toyota exec. He is the guy for the Toyota Foundation that gives away Toyotas for charitable events. Needless to say, he did take the car. LOL

Got a real problem here -- pretty sure I will win this, but not sure how to fit all my cars in my current garage if I have twp MS's coming. Jeez, this is gonna be a real problem! And I'll have to install more charging outlets.

I emailed Phil asking what the winning ticket number was no response yet..

 

[Beavis]

That's cuz the flights to Bermuda don't have internet service. Just kidding, Phil!

 

[carrerascott]

Winning # was 513.

Anyone wanna buy my tickets (694 & 695)? $1 each! 99% off!!

 

[bonnie]

Bleh. I was #444. It SEEMED like a lucky ticket.

I'll go pout now.

Does Phil know our numbers? My ticket is at the other house.

Whoever the winner was bought 5 tickets, if that narrows it down for you. Don't know if he has your #s handy.

It will be interesting to see if the winner takes the car or the cash. If they take the car, they'll owe about $25,000 in federal income tax (after the $7,500 tax credit) and then there's state income tax and state sales tax, too. Still, not a bad price for an $85,000 car.

 

[vfx]

We both had tickets. Thought the odds would be on our side.

 

[carrerascott]

Taking the $50k cash you'll also get hit with income tax, just not the sales tax. Would seem to be a no-brainer to take the car even if you were just going to resell it, IMHO.

Washington state has no income tax. Sales tax is high, but there is no sales tax on EVs.

So... where is the winner? I was hoping that they would announce themselves as the newest member of TMC, if they aren't here already!:smile:

Does the "no sales tax on EVs" apply to used sales too?
