Connecticut bumps up the automobile sales tax from the standard 6.35% to 7 plus due to the "luxury" designation based upon > $70K final price...
Sigh....
It's nice in Colorado that the $6000 tax credit can be applied to (some) used vehicles as well. [emoji4]Tax incentives were not a factor, since I bought used
Even if I went with a new one I'd still buy it without tax incentives
Sorry I can't seem to change the poll - if anyone knows how, let me know. In any case, I was more interested in knowing whether people would have bought a Tesla with or w/o the tax incentives which some people pointed out that this poll is US-centric. Apologies for those of our non-US friends who felt left out. Regardless, if you didn't have a tax incentive, I guess your decision did not take those in consideration.Sorry to mess up your statistics with my YES. Maybe you should add an option for those who bought the car without any tax incentives available (none of those in Switzerland, except for not having to pay vehicle registration/road tax, roughly a $500/year saving).
I have to disagree... the total benefit to me in tax reduction is $13500. That's a 16% reduction from the price of the Tesla that I am getting (70D with AP and Premium). Granted, it's not the highest end model but I wouldn't have even considered a Tesla without the state+fed tax credits. To that end, for me, the substantial savings with the credits allowed me to afford something I would have considered out of my league. Yes I could've gotten a Leaf or such for a lot less but I wouldn't have that Tesla grin everyone speaks of!So, IMHO if you can afford a Model S with the incentive, then you could also afford it without.
Incentives matter for the low cost EVs only.
Such a bummer! It will be interesting to know how many Tesla Ses actually get the credit claimed. So even when Tesla builds their 200K Model S, that could mean people with VIN 2XXXXX could potentially get the fed tax savings. I wonder how they'll know?I got my car delivered on Dec 16, 2013 in order to take advantage of the $7500 tax credit but ended up not being able to use it due to deductions that had already reduced our taxes. So, trying to take advantage of the incentive got me to order sooner than later, which was a benefit. The best driving experience of my life.
I have been driving 100% electric for 2 years before buying the Tesla, because back in 2012 I could not afford a Tesla, so bought the tiny iMiev, in that purchase the rebate did make a big difference. But for the Model S I paid $112K CAD and at that level the $8.5K is only 7.5% which does not alter anyone's ability to buy. <snip>Incentives matter for the low cost EVs only.
I haven't bought yet, though it's likely I won't be using the entire $7500 incentive when I buy
