I'm hoping someone here might have some knowledge about this. Oregon just signed into law a transportation bill that includes a tax rebate for electric vehicles effective the beginning of the year, 2018. The rebate is up to $2,500. I'm trying to find out in what scenarios this new rebate can be applied to the purchase of a Model 3.
One of the stipulations states "Has a base manufacturer’s suggested retail price of less than $50,000." If I am getting one of the earlier Model 3's (LR, Premium) the price is already $49,000. Add any option and it hits the threshold. However, the rule says base MSRP, does that mean Model 3 would qualify no matter what since its base price is $35,000 or does the rule pertain to the total price of the car including options? Also, does adding EAP/FSD count since it's purely a software update?
I've attached the bill and the relevant section starts at pg 128. Any help or clarification would be very helpful. Thanks!
