How much less will you spend on M3 options without $7500 credit?

[ZeApelido]

I personally was going for the larger battery, but now may just get the smaller battery. That's a $9k drop in revenue.

 

[Jopo43]

The same I will not let the richpublicans kill the electric car again!,, Will get a 3rd job to pay for it if I have to

 

[WileyTheMan]

I will happily delay my purchase to make sure I get the options I want.

 

[tashtibet]

I wrote to my congressmen & senators the importance of EV tax credit -why can't people do that instead of crying in pain.

 

[dstroot]

I have two on order for dec - feb delivery. Will be buying a used S instead. No incentive then no new car.

2012 GT-R if the credit is gone.

 

[run-the-joules]

The existence of the tax credit had no bearing on my purchase, nor will the disappearance of it. But I hope many people ahead of me in line cancel or wait for AWD or standard battery or something else now that there's no incentive to purchase sooner.

 

[SteveG3]

You all may still be able to stick with “Plan A” for your Model 3s.

It appears what the Senate voted on did not eliminate the tax credit. So things seem up in the air currently with a House bill eliminating it and a Senate one keeping it... we’ll see how this is resolved.

The $7,500 electric vehicle tax credit is still in danger as Senate passes tax reform [Updated]

 

[atlas310]

I'm going to be buying used. With no tax credit, there's no urgency to be among the first.

 

[EricUSC]

If Tesla can promise me delivery by 12/31/17, I'll get the first production so I can be safe from the possible tax credit repeal. If this doesn't happen and the tax credit stays after 12/31/17, I'll get standard battery to ensure I can get the car before the credit gets cut into half.

If the tax credit disappears after 12/31/17, I'll be in no rush to get a Model 3. I'd either wait until AWD becomes available or wait longer for Tesla to work out potential issues and/or add new features.

 

[kaffine]

You forgot an option I may pay more for options if the tax credit goes away. If I was going to be able to get the car this year I would take the early production. However since I haven't been asked to configure yet I doubt I will get it this year.

If I am waiting until next year anyways I was thinking of getting AWD. If the tax credit goes away I have less incentive to get an earlier car so I will wait for AWD.

 

[daniel]

I have not yet decided for certain whether to get the first car they offer me, or whether to wait for availability of the options I want. But whatever I decide, the tax credit or absence thereof will not influence my decisions. I would like P-AWD, and I do not want upgraded interior. But I also want the car as soon as I can get it. These two wants are in conflict. As for the tax credit, I'll take it if they give it to me, but it won't make any difference in my decision-making process.

 

[Justmurr]

Tax credit will only decide EAP upgrade for me...
I'm getting first production no matter which way this fed credit goes.
My state (PA) already legislated me out of their modest rebate ($1750) by putting a $50k MSRP limit on it. I'm actually Ok with that since now I know it's not going to someone who can afford a brand new S or X like me. I do wish it was set at $60k instead of $50k but...shrug.
I'm one of those who is crossing fingers daily that my current vehicle (05 Volvo, 150kmi) makes it without any significant, necessary fixes.

You may want to check again. Oregon is instituting a $2500 tax rebate (not credit) starting Jan 1'18 for new EV's and though the cap is $50K it clearly says on base price. In which case anyone buying a Model 3 qualifies because the base price for the M3 is $35K.

 

[Trips]

I would spend MORE as I would wait for the AWD and white interior.

 

[timk225]

I voted for $0, because I'm getting a base 3 with only the white paint as an option. So a $36K car.

 

[VonHeinrich]

w/o tax credit I'm going to rethink whether to purchase, plan on retiring in a little over 2 years. However, I will wait until I get all the features I want though, do NOT want a black interior car in Texas if buying-)

I was in line on March 31st and that was why every person I talked to was there to ensure they were getting the tax credit with most saying they may not purchase without it:-0

 

[Mkorpal]

No bearing. I wasn't going to get it anyway. Plus, I don't make financial decisions that are subject to the whims of congress or the IRS.

 

[JPUConn]

Was going to get a base rwd to make the tax cutoff (speculation on #of deliveries).

If credit is gone I’ll patiently wait for dual motor and end up spending more.
