Wow. Looks like I got in just under the line. Car is on a boat to Hawaii right now, supposedly. Should be here in 2-3 weeks.

In many states gas tax pays for roads repairs. And federally too. Since EVs don’t require gas they don’t put money in the road repair pool but they still use the roads and cause wear and tear. Just because it would increase cost of EV ownership doesn’t mean it isn’t fair. Gas is easy because the more you drive, the more wear you cause, the more gas you buy. To be fair for EVs (and in reality all cars) they should charge your annual registration based on the miles you drove the prior year and set aside that tax for road repair. Would make gas cheaper at the pump when you pull the road tax out.

And to stay inline with the topic, I put in an order today with no intention to take delivery before tax breaks/rebates are announced so definitely not Q2.
Does it make sense for someone like me that isn't in a rush to get a new car and has no problem waiting to see if the rebate gets reinstated, to simply put an order in now to lock in the current price and just keep delaying the delivery? I am not sure if just rumor's but I keep hearing that the price will probably keep increasing in anticipation of the fed rebate getting reinstated.
absolutely. you could be price protected and save maybe a couple grand. Could also help you avoid a super long delay from a surge of orders later on. There is a chance it would only be for orders after a certain date, in which case you lose $100. $100 risk for some potential reward. I did the same thing last month, price went up $1,000 since then
Yes. In fact I can’t think of any reason not to order now unless you aren’t sure you want a Tesla. You have nothing to lose and plenty to gain as pointed out above.

The UAW Wants EV Tax Incentives To Only Count For American-Made Cars
If you buy an electric vehicle—any electric vehicle—in the United States right now, you qualify for a $7,500 tax incentive. But the United Auto Workers (UAW) wants to change that. It wants that incentive to only qualify for EVs that are assembled in the U.S.

Not a true statement , “If you buy an electric vehicle—any electric vehicle—in the United States right now, you qualify for a $7,500 tax incentive.”
whats not a true statement? Tesla, does NOT currently qualify for the current 7500.00 tax incentive. Tesla cleared the phase out numbers in 2019. Federal Tax Credits for Electric and Plug-in Hybrid CarsThe UAW Wants EV Tax Incentives To Only Count For American-Made Cars

ok yea, i thought you were using that article to point out that they do in fact qualify. I was like wait...thats not right lol. Its early lol sorry for the confustion
Yes, but the taxes and registration fees paid on an EV are more than a gas car, because of the battery cost increasing the overall cost of the car. Essentially, EV owners pay the same amount in taxes, just up front on the battery, versus later in time with gas.
