BYD now has a sub-10K car in China. Battery price keeps dropping like rocks. And an EV has so few components. I feel bad to pay even the same price as an ICE car given how much simpler EVs are and the tech is so simple that there are bazillion startups.

Also apparently FREE Full Self Driving (FSD) for one month with new purchase. Later you can subscribe to it for $100 to $200 a month, instead of paying the one time $12,000 cost. One month free is great! Apparently current owners who have a model capable of using FSD will also be getting one month free!

The cost of owning a car, is not the price tag of the vehicle. The EV insurance is way higher than the ICE in 2024, and the depreciation is also higher too.

Is there a way for someone who reports 0 ordinary earned income in his tax return (no W2) to take advantage of this deal?

I mean can this $7500 be applied to offset interest income tax for muktiple years or is carry forward of this $7,500 credit not allowed?

Asking for a friend.

No. However, it doesn't matter if you have no earned income. What matters is that you are paying federal tax. That can be from investments or sale of assets.

In Florida, I see peeps driving golf carts everywhere …. without Tags.

So, how can Counties justify mandating Registration/Tags on "EVs" …. isn't a golf cart an EV????

….. golf carts aren't required to carry any Insurance … so why mandate Insurance on EVs?

And thank you for bringing-up the higher costs for Insurance on EVs …. long-time Grease Monkey here who did not know that.

This is so true. Can easily purchase a Model Y, but can't stomach the perpetual annual increased insurance cost of the car.

Perhaps you missed the bit in the original post mentioning "Prices will increase by $1,000 for all Model Y trims on April 1."




Not especially relevant to anyone not living in china though... (or not wanting a bare bones compact IN china)... And outside China where the government can't support them as heavily all their cars are priced pretty similarly to comparable vehicles in other countries... (and they sell no cars, and have no plans to sell cars, in the US)




That certainly hasn't been the case for me, my insurance on my Tesla is about the same as it was on the ICE Lexus IS350 it replaced.

Shop around- prices can vary wildly from one company to the next.





The credit can be applied to the vehicle price at time of purchase. Next year when it's time to file your taxes if you don't have enough tax liability the IRS will not claw back the difference so you're fine regardless of income.

I drive a Lexus IS 350, out of curiosity i've got quotes on Tesla model 3 and Y multiple times over the years. They are always between 80-120% higher (for the same coverage) than what I'm paying now. I've not checked a ton of companies, but at least a couple. It must be something about Teslas specificly, becasue I can actually insure a $100k+ Porsche Tycan or Audi RS Etron for about $400 less a year than a $40k Tesla.

Who actually thinks they will increase the price?

I give them 1 month and the price will be back to record lows. That 1 month price increase is just to save face. Consumers know, Tesla will drop prices to move units, they started a price war in China, which they are miserably loosing now. This company going the way of Fisker.

Check more.


Someone posted a link in a previous thread where they were like "TESLA INSURANCE AVERAGES OVER $3000 a year!!!"

But then when you read the actual story it was because they checked a dozen companies, and a couple were like $5000.... some were like 1/3rd that price-- but the "average" looked insanely high because of a couple of outliers.

I'm with USAA- as I mention insurance isn't any higher than it was on my Lexus.

When Motortrend compared the various Tesla models to the comparable BMW gas ones they found, esp. for 3/Y, the prices were again about the same (or slightly in Teslas favor for some trims)... the only substantive "worse" for Tesla was the Model X.

How can current owners get it?
