Here's an interesting article which speculates about when the $12.5k EV credits might be passed.
While I would love to wait for a huge EV credit to come around soon on the Tesla Model Y that I have on order, I have no faith that this will happen anytime soon. This part of the article makes it pretty clear that one side of the aisle is clearly against EV credits...

When could the bill be passed?
The bill currently has twenty-five co-signers, which aside from Independent Senator Angus King, are all Democrats. During the Senate Finance committee hearing, Republicans voiced their opposition and in the end, the measure on whether to bring the bill to a vote passed along a party-line vote.
Senator Lindsey Graham of South Caroline argued that major us automakers have already stated that by 2035 their fleets will be electric adding that “To my Republican colleagues, it’s just a matter of time until most cars … will be running on something other than gasoline.” Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana argued that working-class families are not buying electric vehicles and that federal funds should not be used to subsidize consumers who do not need the support.
