Loving the initial response to Part 1 of model 3 unveiling. I do wonder though, how many of these reservations will be able to actually get the full $7500 tax credit by the time delivery start.
My guesstimate is that by the time first Model 3 deliveries start, about 125,000 to 150,000 Model S and Xs would have been delivered in USA. It means about 50 to 75k model 3s will get full tax credit.
I think Tesla management is aware of this and that is why during presentations Elon said that "You will not get a better car for 35k" without any mention of tax incentives.
I think this is a good thing to be aware of for those who are planning to make a reservation now and assuming that they will still get full federal tax credit.
