Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

[doomsday997]

At least this is something concrete. Not only did they say they’d vote that week, they said they’d vote on the currently proposed bill.

Say what you want about pelosi. She can count votes and if it comes to a vote, it will pass. How different is the currently proposed House bill from what was passed in the senate?

As far as build back better goes nothing has passed the senate. Once the house passes it will go to the senate where the parlimentrian will likely strip out most of the immigration provisions and anything else that might violate the Byrd rule. Then Manchin and sinema can refuse to support certain areas (like paid family leave) until they are cut from the bill. Then that version of approved will have to go back to the house where the progressives will have to support it despite any further cuts. Still a lot of hurdles to Jump and we are getting closer and closer to the budget and debt ceiling deadline in early December which will sideline everything until that is done.

They didn’t mention price limit, so Model X would be eligible too.

Not likely, the latest changes upped the cap to $80,000 for SUVs.

Not to mention that there's only about a week left after the debt ceiling deadline until Congress wraps up for the year.

It's not looking good. Almost time to release the holds!

. Not passing a bill is political disaster for the Dems.

If the progressives and moderates want to give each other the middle finger, they deserve to lose out in the midterms.

Sounds great!
Free money everywhere means even higher inflation which will make all suffer except the top 1% rich people.

Or take deliver of a SR MY in January and have it appreciate $12k above what I paid. Enjoy it all year and sell it for $57k and ordered a MY Performance, rolling the equity into the next Tesla + potential tax credits, basically getting a MYP for way cheaper lol

Well played sir

They should remove the caps all together. If the end goal is move people to EVs, who cares what the cost is. Sedans capped at $55k makes no sense.

Wonder what Tesla will do to make S & X eligible for Tax Credit.

Wonder what Tesla will do to make S & X eligible for Tax Credit.

Nothing. They are well established premium vehicles now. Rebate won’t drive sales.

Agreed. Tesla's problem is not demand, it's manufacturing. Last thing anyone wants is wait times over a year.

And I am sure AGI limit in proposed legislation will affect a lot of S & X customers.

Here, let me fix it for you: ...the end goal is to move [lower/moderate income] people to EV's...

The point is that rich folks don't need help to buy a Plaid or a Taycan.

fwiw: if I was Elon, I'd manufacture an sw limited S for $80k. Locked battery, locked into RWD, locked max speed, no AP. Then, after delivery and possible rebate, offer a SW upgrade package for $35k to unlock all that stuff plus FSD.

There is already a progressive tax system. Folks who make more are taxed at a higher percentage. There is no need to complicate the tax code by putting an income limit/phase out on every single incentive.

I don't disagree, as I'm in favor of getting rid of all income tax deductions and complexities. That said, the MSRP and income limits were required to get votes. And if such limits is what it takes to pass the bill, they "make sense."

Decided to ask my SA about the process of putting my MY delivery on hold to wait for the EV credit should the bill pass. The SA said they can only hold if it is within 90 days of when the order was placed and the hold period cannot exceed 30 days. I'm already beyond the 90 day point so not an option for me. Just wanted to share the info since I saw several different discussions about placing holds.

Maybe trying calling Tesla directly through the call center. They were able to put mine on hold when my SA wasn’t getting back to me.

Did your SA tell you that you could be put at the end of line ??? That's what my SA told me....

Interesting. Will try that. Thanks!

I think what we can ascertain is that SAs know as much about holding a vehicle as the people who work at the Apple Store about the next unreleased iPhone. Nothing but rumors and they seem to make it up as they go.

The BBB legislation seems even more unlikely to pass now that congress untied it from the infrastructure bill. It could still happen and I hope it does, but I may not delay my MYP any longer to find out. $8K back would be nice, but at the end of the day I can afford the car without it.
