SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room
- Thread starter HelixSpiral
- Start date
many people forget that itʻs still a tax CREDIT. itʻs not a rebate and not free money. so while it might be applied at the POS when you buy the car, you will still have to ensure that you have $7500 tax burden to take full advantage of the credit. i have a feeling that many ppl will come to find out that they canʻt use the whole credit when filing their taxes...and then have to pay back the balance.
update:
OD: 3/16/2022
EDD: 9/04-9/07
VIN was assigned a couple weeks ago. Just paid off the balance and uploaded insurance info (for now all I have is a copy of the insurance binder). Do I have to sign the MVPA?
My local agent told me we were waiting for the car to be shipped from California...not sure if itʻs currently on the ship or on the next ship...I will probably not make my EDD but will be happy to be surprised.

I think if you make enough to afford a Tesla then you'll have more than $7500 worth of tax burden.

True, but what’s different about this credit is it’s fully refundable regardless of Tax Liability.
Anyone in the Montreal area (and proximities) have a recommendation of a good place around here to do PPF on the model 3?
I'm looking for a good shop with reasonable price. I'm only doing the full front and rockers btw...
@MtlMV @masterdiwi527 @AYM707 ?

Honestly, if you don’t have at least 7500 worth of taxes owed from income in the USA, you have zero business buying a 50k vehicle. Don’t confuse owing 7500 after doing taxes with having a tax due amount of at least 7500 (most or all which was already taken out of paychecks).
Tesla’s are not something someone making under 50 or even 70k a year should be buying…most buyers will have a plentiful amount of taxes due to get the credit.
Apparently the average Model X buyer has about $144K/year household income in 2022. That's 83% of their gross income on a single car. By that measure a $47K Model 3 on a $70K income would be similar.
Not that it's ever a good idea to spend that much of your income on a car though.

With inflation and dealer markups, a Honda Civic costs about $38K. In 2021 according to Kelley Blue Book, Americans spent on average $47K for a brand new car. $46,990 for the RWD Model 3 is a great price considering gas still costs over $5 in some areas near me.Honestly I think both those incomes are way to little for those cars, but that is just me. When I was making $47k I was paying cash for a 10 year old Volvo.

Oh yeah its a greatprice, I have now bought 2 of them, but I wouldn't touch it at those salaries. It's a tough economy in many ways right now.
Great to see that you move forward by a whole month in the 4 week window - that is good news for everyone here. I'm EDD 11/15 - 12/27 and hoping it gets better as I go along (OD = 8/20)
Just changed to a 3 days windows Sep 15-18 with Vin provided.

Bit of a thread hijack, but here goes anyway!

Our only complaint? It was 104' in Phoenix when we did the pick-up!! (gotta come up with something negative...)
Couple of comments on the new M3 SR we picked-up on Monday in Phoenix:
- After going over the car with a fine-tooth comb I can safely say the vehicle is perfect. Really. Great paint (beautiful really), no "gap" issues, all good, plus,
- The car has no mechanical issues or any other defect that I can detect (+150 miles on the vehicle to-date).

I ordered on 08/08 and my EDD is 11/29-01/10. I'm almost tempted to create another order to see which one I get first and cancel the other lol
What brand tires it come with? Hancooks or Michelin?Bit of a thread hijack, but here goes anyway!

Full disclosure; I'm not a "fan boy." Don't drink the Kool-Aid. If I had a squawk you'd know it.
