Normally I wouldn’t care but I’d be a little angry if I got the configurator in November and ordered based on four weeks expecting 3rd week in December and then didn’t get the car until after Jan 1, messing up the tax credit situation. Somewhat “glad” I didn’t get to configure yet.
You can start taking the $7,500 credit right away, just change the withholding on your W-2 in January. You can get the $7,500 over 12 months or front load it, just be sure to set it back to the normal level after you have gotten $7,500 off your normal withholding. I bet all you guys with zero wages and just un-earned income can do something similar since the tax system favors un-earned income and taxes wages higher.
I mean if you ordered first production specifically so you could get the credit this year vs waiting for some other option like white interior or standard battery or whatever. Normally a couple week delay would be no big deal but in this case it would mean getting the credit a year later.
May be a circumstance where an employee car was sent on a shipment with others, but then delivery not taken - so why not offer to a non-employee?
Correct if I'm wrong but unless your delivery is in 2017 the tax credit is gone with the new legislation ?
No, the EV Credit is safe (currently) in the GOP Tax Plan being voted on this week. The House version removed it, the Senate made no mention, the compromise did not include the removal. It is safe for now.
They could always remove it with later legislation, though I think that's unlikely given its survival in this bill.Never been so Happy to be Wrong
I speculate Tesla is sending some invites in areas where there is spare service center capacity. This gives a chance for folks to be trained and get up to speed with M3 before the bulk of deliveries start.
Wow! Thats exactly how I will configure just different color!! Thanks for showing how much I need to save up!!
