Red Model 3 with Aero... VIN 290xx downstairs at W 4th today. Starting to get antsy, why hasn't anyone called me to schedule my delivery yet???
was it 29064 ??
My understanding is that MSRP, as defined by the CEV program, is only the base price of the car. There's no wording anywhere that calls out a selling price of under $77,000 to qualify for the rebate, only MSRP.
For example, a Volvo XC90 T8 optioned out to over $90k can still qualify for the rebate as the base car stickers for under 77k and is explicitly listed as a qualifying vehicle. Note that this differs from the Ontario program which specifically calls out only the Momentum (base) XC90 T8 as qualifying for a rebate, while the higher R-design and Inscription trims do not qualify.
Given how the Model 3 is explicitly listed as Long Range + RWD at $57,500, I believe the AWD version will qualify and be listed as Long Range + AWD at $6x,xxx, and no matter how you option it, it will qualify for the rebate.
Regardless, if taking a software option off will help you save tax, Tesla will take it off and allow you to purchase it after delivery at the original configurator price. I just did this by taking off EAP on an inventory Model S to bring it below the 20% tax cut off mark.
Huracan Performante - slower to 100km/h than even my old P90D!
