Not exactly SA, initially did test drive and the person who explained all about the car, gave his card and asked me to email him after ordering with reservation number and said he would make sure everything is fine.
This CNBC article cites a Rep from Michigan who says the cost will come to around $33B over 10 years. No math on how he got to that estimate.
Tesla is selling M3+MY at a clip of 200K per quarter. With Austin factory coming up this output will definitely go up so only Tesla could sell 1M vehicles. add Mach-E, VW and Chevy cars to that mix.
Tesla is selling M3+MY at 200k per quarter in the US or worldwide? I am not saying we won't get to over 1m ev credit eligible sales, but assuming we start at 1m next year and multiplying it by 8k to get your eye catching number is probably not accurate. In the over 10 years we have had the current EV credit (without MSRP or AGI limits), only two manufacturers have exceeded current the 200k per manufacturer. And one of them with primarily PHEV sales.
I agree. In that case the annual EV tax credit will be lower but will still be upwards of $5B.
And Manchin would be sensible enough to cut the fats that don't belong in that proposal. Which would mean the lower house would have to vote on it again. I don't think we have enough time and it doesn't look very promising...
Probably due to all the people putting their orders on hold. Tesla should just stop allowing these lengthy holds as it's just causing more confusion down the line. I understand needing a few days or even a week to prepare for delivery, but putting your delivery on hold for 2 months and then expecting to be at the front of the line come 2022 is ridiculous. Those who ordered months ago and at the time of order were given an EDD prior to 1/1/2022 should just take delivery as expected or get their orders cancelled/moved to the back of the que. When you ordered you had an EDD and a price that you were well aware of when putting in your order. The same as those of us who ordered recently and are paying more, but have a delivery date in the spring/summer of 2022.
I replied to the generic "Welcome to the Tesla family" text I got when I first entered my order. It said to reply to that text if order help is needed. I don't have a contact, know anyone's name, or even know if it's the same person replying each time! The reply did come from another number.
Tesla will have hit around 400,000 US sales in 2021. US sales with Giga Texas coming on line should easily reach a total of 4,000.000 for the years 2022 thru 2025. The cost of credits for Tesla alone for just the first 4 years will likely exceed 32 billion, not to mention continued growth for the rest of the decade, likely totaling well above 100 billion. Someone in the cost planning is seriously underestimating Tesla's growth, without even considering other manufacturers and the easy moneymaker of throwing a motor and a battery in gas cars to get PHEVs. Maybe they will adopt the credits before there is an adult in the room.
Are you guesstimating Tesla is going to sell 4 million vehicles in the US in the next 4 years? From 400k per year. And every single one of them is going to be eligible for the tax credit? I don't see how they will grow so fast so quickly with just one additional factory, but if this is the case, hopefully CBO will keep them honest and some more limits will be put to keep the total cost down.
I really cannot envision the 8000 number sticking in the final legislation. I'm guessing maybe 4500.
