Since Tesla is only producing the $44k LR version at first it's entirely possible that there won't be a $35k car sold before the 200k car limit has been reached.

It looks like I could get a $35,000 one in January.

Yes you would get the full $7500 rebate through June if they hit 200K units Q1(Jan 1st+). Basically as it goes now NOBODY except employees will be getting an AWD or Performance with the FULL tax credit. Maybe a HALF tax credit sometime in the JULY delivery range
I'd be amazed if Tesla actually winds up making the base model available on that schedule. I bet it will be delayed in order to encourage purchases of the more expensive model.It looks like I could get a $35,000 one in January.

Oops. I'm not sure why I wrote rebate. It's close but you are right that it's not the same thing.It's a tax credit, not a tax rebate.
I'm well aware of how it works. The question is really whether Tesla gets to 200k cars before producing a $35k car.Go read up on how the tax rebate expiration time period works, and then come back here.
Crazy times. Anything could happen.All this assumes tax reform doesn't happen, or doesn't kill the EV credit if it does.

There are currently at around 130k cars sold and it will be somewhere around 160k by year end.
If they have enough LR orders to fill first and $35k car delivery slips to early April its possible that all $35k cars will receive less than the full $7500.
I guess most people here believe that option free cars will be delivered on time.

Ah. I guess I wasn't well aware of how the rebate works after all. I thought it was only the full quarter in which 200k car sales where reached. Non-option car deliveries would have to be delayed until July then for the full credit not to be applied. Even on Musk time tahts probably a bit of a stretch.The law reads that it's the full amount in the quarter a manufacturer hits 200k sold AND the following quarter
Whatever happens expect these forums to be filled with angry people who missed delivery deadline (whenever that may be.)Nearly everyone expects Tesla to artificially slow deliveries at year end 2017 if they're even close to 200k. And, if things get bogged down and they don't near 200k until later Q1, that they'd also slow deliveries to hit 200k right at the beginning of Q2 just to gain that extra quarter of the full $7,500
