I’m a long time lurker on model 3 but I wasn’t in a position to reserve one back in 2016 and assumed I would never be able to claim the full tax credit on the vehicle. Turns out in July I supposedly could. So I’m late on the list and not sure I will get a car this year. All that to say that’s why I have been watching the used market. I have an AWD on order but could be ok with RWD for right price difference.
Main question, is there a database or website to check and see if the federal tax credit has been claimed on a used vehicle? My understanding is that it’s not necessarily the original owner that gets the credit, it’s the first person who claims it on that vehicle while they own the vehicle. So if people took delivery after April, the tax credit should theoretically be available for that used car.
