Its not officially in the plan, but people are believing that will happen. Details should be worked out by end of April it seems.

How many are waiting to order or postponing the delivery date due to proposed Tax Credit
- Thread starter aparan
- Start date
I’m supposed to take delivery by mid-May. Hopefully it will be retroactive.

Tax rebates in addition to point of sale rebates. It is being reported that this could be a tiered system and over $10k.
Starting approx. when? I can see Tesla increasing prices.

Great question, those details aren’t known at this time.
I sure am happy I can delay my delivery up to one year in that case.

And how do you roll it out when foreign made cars are currently elligible for $7500 tax rebates? You can't start this one 1/1/21 and say the old one doesn't exist for people who have already bought those vehicles this year (id.4). All those people waiting for ID.4s would cancel in a heartbeat and it would kill VW in the US. More than likely it will be a 2022 package so here's to higher prices in 2022 to make up for lack of sales in 2021.

There currently is a bill before the House, the Green Act, that has a provision for extending the tax credit. However, it specifically states it will not be retroactive. I doubt Biden would deviate from this as it was generated by his party. Link below. Has not moved since introduced.

So If I order a Model Y today, I can refuse to take delivery for up to a year? Just the $100 down?

Might be time to lock the current pricing in before things are finalized.

Historically Tesla has raised and lowered prices along with tax credits phasing in and out. If the buyer is going to get $10k relieve why shouldn’t they make some profit off that if the end price to the buyer stays the same? It goes against making the vehicles more affordable than currently priced but unless the bill locks in pricing or prevents over a certain increase it might happen. And Tesla has always honored price drops but allowed you to keep lower prices if the prices go up. If you can delay by 12 months it’s a $100 bet on $50k (current) with a potential payout of $7500+.

I'm seriously considering delaying it. I was going to trade my second car in for my first Tesla MY that's on order. But now the news broke, I'm wondering if I should delay taking delivery for up to a year. Like many others, I don't need a second car this very moment, just means my old ICE car will continue to depreciate. But I wonder how many people will do the same especially if the credit is not Retroactive, Tesla car sales number for the short term will be reduced substantially as people wait.
If it does become $10k, it'd be dumb not to wait. At least that's my opinion.

For sure, unless your main ride broke or you need a car immediately. But there will probably be a massive order going in to lock in prices but delaying delivery. I wonder how Tesla is handling the situation.
I wish I understood truly what I could do to order now and keep delaying delivery. I've read so many different things.

Tell your SA you are not ready to accept delivery. Give them a date 5-6 months in the future when you think you'll be ready. Just do the basics for your profile like insurance and license and leave payment as cash. Hopefully they honor your 5-6 months without bugging yo but you will need to check your account occasionally to make sure a vin hasn't been assigned. If one is, just reach out and ask to delay delivery. If you never confirm a delivery date and they decide to show up and leave a car at your place, you don't pay for it and it's not yours. Tesla's problem.
