WAY too many variables to give one specific number. But, single, no kids, no nothing else one would have to make about 65K in w-2 income to have 7500$ in income taxes. Gross income number would go higher in order to compensate for dependents, marriage, deductions above the new 12K standard, etc.
Probably just Tesla learning that when demand exceeds supply, increase the price rather than have people wait forever.
In theory, about $47k. In reality, more than that, since you’ll have some other deductions. Note, though, that not all types of income work for this. As I remember, certain business owners’ income isn’t taxed as personal income.
Yeah, pretty much the same as yesterday - with the occasional extra sell order added to ensure it doesn't go anywhere it shouldn't.
To give some perspective, the median household income in 2017 was ~$61k. I don't feel like pulling up demographics, but a good number of households are joint with dependents which is just going to widen the gap. IMO the impact of the EV tax deduction is over rated.
Tesla faded a lot and it's up significantly less than QQQ/COMPQ. Still doing much better than the automakers. The market is not looking good in general however, $IWM turning red AGAIN, XLF red too. VIX creeping up...

Median household income is great, but you have to factor in who is buying EV's and it's not the average household. Tesla has reported some numbers in the past and I think that their average HHI was over 200K.
Bloomberg estimate (which by no means is perfect) has passed 100,000 Model 3s produced as of today. Bloomberg - Are you a robot?
As opposed to all the fine people that do business with a Chinese government that have Scandinavian level ethics.

Hey... Money is money. (Of course, you can now find similarly repugnant stories about our own USA government.)
Last year Americans purchased 17.1M new cars. And 42.7M used cars. I would venture to guess that there is a high correlation with income/wealth and buying a new car vs a used car.
Not sure why life of one journalist is more important than 100s of thousands of Yemanis or a million Iraqis. Coming back to Tesla & MBS, one thing that is abundantly clear is MBS is reckless. He is making a lot of enemies within and outside KSA. Saudis used to do things much more silently and behind the scenes. Not so with MBS.
Many retired folks have low incomes but plenty of cash saved. We're seeing people in their 80s buying brand new Teslas. That said, as others have stated, many such people may have the ability to do a Roth conversion or time the realization of capital gains, thus still enabling them to take the full federal tax credit. It's also worth repeating that Tesla is drawing in buyers who were previously buying mass-market, relatively affordable cars like the Civic or Camry. People are sacrificing to get Teslas. Although stretching to buy a new car is rarely optimal from the standpoint of personal finance, I'm glad to see so many people supporting the transition to sustainable transportation.
It's going to be fun riding the TSLA wave when the market comes to realize that GF3 isn't just some fantasy. I think seeing the construction cranes will be a real wakeup call.
