Did anyone lift his/her 'Hold' due to BBB EV tax credit yet? Would be interested to know if the Hold puts you back in queue.

With tax credits for 1/1/22 likely now off the table, I really hope my 12/21-12/31 delivery estimate is pre 12/28 or else im seriously considering giving a friend a POA and having him pick up the car so i dont lose it as I will be traveling.

As long as the date in the bill does not change, the credits will still be the same if the bill does get passed next year. They would specifically have to change the date to xx/xx/xxxx.

I got quoted 3M tint all around(incl. windshield) $1,150 and $450 or so for front bumper PPF

Yeah - the place in Tempe people recommend cost about $1,000 for full tint for best quality tint with 98% UV protection. About $800 for the doors and rear, then an additional $250 or so for the windshield. Tint seems to be getting more expensive, or maybe it's the demand since I'm in Phoenix? Either way, it's rough.

And they will change it, as first Senate version had a different date, then House changed it.

 

[Newto3]

Maybe, maybe not. For tax purposes and the IRS, it is easier if there is a blanket date that covers the whole fiscal year. If they want to save money, they very well can change the date as they can change the vehicle limits. Imagine eliminating all vehicles over 50K. It would bump a lot of LRM3 holders off the cut line.

I think you are correct here. The original bill from the Senate had an effective date that was retroactive to May 2021. It could be they just leave it for Jan 1, they could also push it out to be effective when the bill is signed into law

My car also came via Cleveland before delivery in MI. I guessed that Cleveland was a sort of regional distribution center, or maybe where MI deliveries go first. Could be wrong. Enjoy your car! I’m relieved to hear you are finally getting delivery soon! Got mine back from the PPF & tint the other day and am VERY happy with it.

Could make sense since Michigan doesn’t allow the vehicle to be in the state unless they get their payment in full

Trying to argue semantics here is silly. Either take delivery or don’t. Trying to argue what date will be the cutoff for tax incentives is silly.

I do not think tax credits are off the table. Any news source on this?

I will report back on January 2 (my hold ends on January 1).

Tax credits appear to be off the table at least until Christmas according to the New York Times.

Is that you Elon? That semantic argument could be worth 7500 to some folks here. For some it won’t make a difference. For others it will. To each their own.

 

[ICEMelter]

Talked to my SA earlier and he said they just got $#!T load of cars so CA peeps get ready! I asked about potentially changing the date and/or time of pick up and he said the 3 days start counting when you get your text. NO holds beyond the 3rd day. Just FYI.

Which text? Text to set up delivery day?

 

[VeryRealPerson]

Taxi hit my beloved SR+ and its a total loss. Just got my cheque and put in my order for the upgraded LR

Dec 18 - 31 delivery in Vancouver. Can't come soon enough!

M3LR Midnight Silver - NJ

EDD #3: 12/18 - 12/31

I'm so excited!!!! Any chance I get an earlier delivery? My one friend got hers at the same SC 4-5 days after VIN assignment.

The point is you're all speculating when you should hold your deliveries until when you really have absolutely no idea when/if the bill will pass and what date the rebate will be set at.
