September 2021 Order Delivery Dates

Correct me if I'm wrong but it's only applicable for those who paid under 55k for their Y. Those with FSD and better than a basic configuration are not qualified.

The Y should qualify as an SUV, with limit at $80K. We’ll need to see what makes it into the final bill though.
good catch on the date on the version I linked to
Some interesting provisions of the latest version of the House Bill include:
‘‘(2) BASE AMOUNT.—The amount determined under this paragraph is $4,000.
(3) BATTERY CAPACITY.—In the case of a new qualified plug-in electric drive motor vehicle, the amount determined under this paragraph is $3,500
if— ‘(A) in the case of a vehicle placed in service before January 1, 2027, such vehicle draws propulsion energy from a battery with not less than 40 kilowatt hours of capacity and has a gasoline tank capacity not greater than 2.5 gallons, and
‘(B) in the case of a vehicle placed in service after December 31, 2026, such vehicle draws propulsion energy from a battery with not less than 50 kilowatt hours of capacity and has a gasoline tank capacity not greater than 2.5 gallons."
Those latter provisions effectively mean plug-in hybrid EVs will only qualify for the base $4000 tax credit (not a limitation of Teslas). Further provisions of the bill that are of interest include:
‘‘(4) DOMESTIC ASSEMBLY.—In the case of a new qualified plug-in electric drive motor vehicle which satisfies the domestic assembly qualifications,
the amount determined under this paragraph is $4,500.
(5) DOMESTIC CONTENT.—In the case of a new qualified plug-in electric drive motor vehicle which satisfies domestic content qualifications, the
amount determined under this paragraph is $500.
(c) VEHICLE LIMITATION.—The number of new qualified plug-in electric drive motor vehicles taken in account under subsection (a) shall not exceed 1 per taxpayer per taxable year."
It looks that this version of the bill would allow for a Tesla that qualifies, to receive: $4000 + $4500 = $8500 plus an additional $500 if it satisfies the Domestic Content provision. The Tesla models that qualify for the tax credit are virtually all Model Y's and Model 3's with a price of under $55K. Model S and Model X do not qualify for the tax credit because they exceed the max. vehicle price allowed by the bill.
"THRESHOLD AMOUNT.—For purposes of paragraph (1), the term ‘threshold amount’ means—
(A) $500,000 in the case of a joint return or surviving spouse (half such amount in the case of a married individual filing a separate return),
(B) $375,000 in the case of a head of household, and
(C) $250,000 in any other case."

No, the Domestic Assembly means union, which does not apply to Tesla. The calculation is $4000 + $3500 (battery content) + $500 (domestic battery) = $8000.
All versions of the Model Y qualify as it has been classified as a light SUV and therefore is at the $80k and under. Even with FSD you should qualify.

Amazing! I am noticing Tesla is giving deliveries to late September on a sporadic basis out of the blue. I note you declined it. Some lucky guy in your region who wants it now will get it.I just checked my app and i see a VIN is assigned to me today. I am not yet ready to take the car.. hope SA pushes my EDD for next batch atleast for a quarter. Fingers crossed.

I bought the Tesmanian floor mats. I had 2 requirements. I should not have to remove the cargo mat just to open my trunk. Second, I wanted a decent height of the liners, because I live in snow country. The Tesmanian were not the best, but were still much better than others. I also purchased - homelink and 2 Key fobs, quick bandit front number plate holder from Teslarati, a spare tire kit from modern spare, Spigen matt screen protector. My spare tire purchase decision came from reading the frequent complaints of a flat tire in Tesla's reported on the subreddit for model y.
No one knows the definition of “SUV” for these purposes. Tesla’s shift in VIN designations seems aimed at pushing the issue, but who knows whether the Model Y will be an SUV for purposes of any tax credit.
What agency qualified it as a light SUV? And what assurances are there that designation apply for purposes of the wording of the tax credit?
I just received my LDCRS mats from Amazon. They have a Black Friday deal. I don’t have my Y yet but they look great. Looks like the maxpiders that I have in my wife’s car.
Just received my VIN last night, now waiting on the text to schedule delivery.
Ordered September 16th with original delivery estimate of February. The EDD for the last few weeks has said January 10th - February 7th.

I ordered on 09/30. my EDD for last few weeks is Feb1st - March 1st. I also received my VIN yesterday night.
Welp my EDD just jumped way up. Ordered 9/22 with an original EDD of March, then was at Jan 17-Feb 14 for a long time, and now is Dec 11-25th. Way sooner than I was planning, and I'm really not looking to take delivery until January. Hopefully it won't be too much hassle to delay a few weeks without getting thrown to the back of the line.
