Agree the bill will not pass. Good for Manchin to hold people accountable and see where the money is being spent and how it impacts the economy.

Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

We knew this would come up at the COP26, aka the United Nations Climate Change Conference UK 2021.
Foreign ambassadors protest Biden's US- and union-built EV rebate requirements
A group of foreign ambassadors oppose elements of Biden's Build Back Better plan limiting rebates to US- and union-built EVs.electrek.co
"Representatives from the EU and its member states Poland, Sweden, Spain, Austria, Netherlands, Belgium, Cyprus, Ireland, Malta, Finland, Romania, and Greece have written a letter to US legislators arguing elements of the proposed EV rebate plan are unfair to their own manufacturers. The objections – which both Mexico and Canada have voiced as well – don’t brandish the mother-joke-grade provocation of “protectionism,” but do argue requirements in the payback offer put “US trading partners at a disadvantage.”
"They aren’t alone in claiming the scheme is crafted to primarily benefit Detroit’s Big Three. EV giant Tesla isn’t happy about the union stipulation of the proposal. Toyota and other foreign-origin companies that similarly tend to base their US manufacturing in non-union states are protesting the plan. Several of those firms have begun lobbying California’s senators with arguments that the proposal undermines the interests of auto employees in their state."
It's a necessary response to the Chinese EV protectionism. I guess they didn't want to say "Not Made In China".
The unfortunate side-effect of the Made In USA subsidy is that it's something of a small EV killer for the US market.
Of course, it might not make much difference, given that VW chose not to sell the ID3 here anyway and the batch of coming EVs are all bloated.

Sorry, I think you answered this before, but did you have a VIN assigned when you put the hold?This morning I received an email threatening cancellation if they don't hear from me by 11/16. This is further proof to me that they are just stumbling forward as I have a hold until 12/1. I emailed this info back to them, since they can't see it.

I received the same e-mail. As usual, It was buried under the ton of spam emails I get everyday. I responded to let them know mine is on hold. Thanks for the heads up!This morning I received an email threatening cancellation if they don't hear from me by 11/16.

Got the same email despite a hold until 1/5/2022. Let me know if you hear back from them, I am thinking of waiting to reach out until closer to 11/16.This morning I received an email threatening cancellation if they don't hear from me by 11/16.

Could you pleases clarify it??? I'm interested in pushing back my deliver to someday in Jan. 2022 but I don't want to be put at the end of the line..
Are you saying they responded and said they didn’t see the order was on hold?

2022 Tesla 3 standard range plus now has the range of 272 miles instead of 262 miles.
I know my build had the range of 262 mile back in July 2021. Would I be getting 272 or 262 range model in Jan 2022?
Any insights?

Just to clarify for those who got the cancellation email: When you check your order online, do you see a hold like the below but despite of that you received a cancellation email?

Yes, I saw that and am super paranoid. I didn't want to take a chance...

Did you also get a text message about the cancellation? In my case when I put the order on hold, I only got a text message and no email.

I put mine on hold before getting a VIN assigned. I ordered in May and pushed it off until Jan 1st. Tesla allowed me to delay it twice. I'm hoping for an EV credit and/or 4680 batteries. We'll see what happens. I thought we would have known more over the summer.

Sen. Manchin won't endorse $1.75T spending bill, blasts progressives - UPI.com
West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin said Monday he will continue to withhold his much-needed support for a $1.75 trillion social spending package backed by President Joe Biden and Democratic progressives.

Nov. 1 (UPI) -- West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin said Monday he will continue to withhold his much-needed support for a $1.75 trillion social spending package backed by President Joe Biden and Democratic progressives. Manchin, a moderate Democrat representing a state that Biden lost by 39 percentage points in last year's presidential election, threw cold water on hopes that he was coming around to support Biden's historic Build Back Better social safety net plan during a Capitol Hill press conference.
"As more of the real details outlined in the basic framework are released, what I see are shell games and budget gimmicks that make the real cost of this so-called $1.75 trillion dollar bill estimated to be twice as high if the programs are extended or made permanent," he told reporters.

Thanks for the clarification. Please keep us updated as you move closer to Nov 16.
For what its worth, just talked to my SA today. He was very agreeable about the situation. However, he claimed that a hold puts you at the back of the build line. It didn't appear he was using this as a leverage tactic, he just said that's how he understood the situation and that I should release the hold several weeks in advance to rebuild that lead time for ordering. I guess we'll all see what happens when we release the hold and what our wait times are.
