^ Well, well, well. How timely. I just got a phone call from my Tesla location here. They wanted to tell me about this, and to also rechedule my delivery day two days sooner from the 8th to the 6th of Dec. Yes, it is a price deduction. And yes, the sales tax is reduced commensurate with that deduction. Stupid me having the bank make out a check earlier today for the higher amount.
This really is a quadruple win scanerio.
* Price reduction
* State Sales Tax reduction
* No need to worry about dec. vs. Jan. 2023 income tax deduction and if there was actually a Tesla IRA tax credit...
* We get the money (difference) NOW vs. possible tax credit ~April 2024.
I never believed that Teslas would 100% qualify for the full IRA credit anyway, so this is perfect. Now, if I had taken delivery in the last several days or months, I would be sharing much less happy emojis.
One thing perhaps all of us awaiting December delivery should watch out for is a VIN change before or at delivery? The whole purpose of this $3,750 credit is to move out older cars that have sat in stock that were previously cancelled. Maybe I'm paranoid, but...
