We are planning to buy a second Model S to replace our ICE - and would like to wait a little longer to see if we can get AP 2.0 hardware and a 100Kwh battery pack (which would give us 20% more range over our P85).
One factor in the timing of our decision is expiration of the $7500 tax credit. Once Tesla sells their 200,000th car in the US, it appears this will trigger a phaseout of the tax credit over the following 12 months - reducing the credit to 50% for the first 6 months and to 25% for the next 6 months.
Do we know how many US cars Tesla has sold so far? And is there any projection on when they'll hit the 200,000 car trigger for US sales, and begin the tax credit phaseout?
