Who Qualifies
You may qualify for a credit up to $7,500 under Internal Revenue Code Section 30D if you buy a new, qualified plug-in EV or fuel cell electric vehicle (FCV). The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 changed the rules for this credit for vehicles purchased from 2023 to 2032.
The credit is available to individuals and their businesses.
To qualify, you must:
Buy it for your own use, not for resale
Use it primarily in the U.S.
In addition, your modified adjusted gross income (AGI) may not exceed:
$300,000 for married couples filing jointly
$225,000 for heads of households
$150,000 for all other filers
You can use your modified AGI from the year you take delivery of the vehicle or the year before, whichever is less. If your modified AGI is below the threshold in 1 of the two years, you can claim the credit.
The credit is nonrefundable, so you can't get back more on the credit than you owe in taxes. You can't apply any excess credit to future tax years.

The sale qualifies only if:
You buy the vehicle new
The seller reports required information to you at the time of sale and to the IRS.
Sellers are required to report your name and taxpayer identification number to the IRS for you to be eligible to claim the credit.
The new law requires the POS (Dealer or manufacturer) to report a bunch of information on the buyer to the IRS.
Such as:
Seller/Dealer name and taxpayer ID number
Buyer's name and taxpayer ID number
Maximum credit allowable under IRC 30D for new vehicles or IRC 25E for previously owned vehicles
Vehicle identification number (VIN), unless the vehicle is not assigned one
Battery capacity
Date of sale
Sale price
For new vehicles, verification that the buyer is the original user

Now the Model 3 and Y do qualify for CVRP rebate up to $4,500 ($2,000 + $2,500 income eligible ) up to $7,500 after February 2023.

Summary of February 28, 2023 updates:
……
In addition to the standard CVRP rebate, consumers with household income less than or equal to 400 percent of the federal poverty level are eligible for an increased rebate amount of $5,500 (previously $2,500) for BEVs and PHEVs, and $3,000 (previously $2,500) for FCEVs. This amounts to:
……….$7,500 for battery-electric vehicles (previously $4,500)

B Thank you for your email. Vehicle manufacturers must apply for Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP) eligibility with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and meet a number of program requirements. If all program requirements are met, the vehicle is added to the list of eligible vehicles on our website. At this time, Tesla has not applied.

Excluding taxes and fees, I paid $63,940. It's now $59,630, which is $4,310 less, and it is eligible for the $7,500 tax credit. That means if I didn't buy it in December and bought it today, I would have saved $11,810 + sales tax, so a bit over $12,000 in savings I missed. (I got 10,000 Supercharger miles, which is worth somewhere between $500 and $1,000.) With taxes and fees, I paid $71,578.55 in total.
For those who do order, I recommend this Tesla Prep guide [glideapp.io] to check for build quality issues on delivery day.
I hope this helps,

The disclosure, which was first reported by Electrek, comes as the company faces scrutiny over the safety and capabilities of its standard advanced driver assistance system known as Autopilot and the $15,000 optional upgraded product branded as "Full Self-Driving." Tesla FSD beta software offers some automated driving features but is not a self-driving system.
The luxury EV-maker has long claimed it could reach full autonomy through a "vision only" approach that shuns other sensors like lidar and radar in favor of cameras and a deep neural network that quickly processes a vehicle's surroundings and responds in real time. Tesla CEO Elon Musk previously promised to "solve" full self-driving by the end of this year (he's also promised Tesla would get there every year for roughly nine years now). He has recently admitted the problem will take longer to solve.
And perhaps, as every other autonomous vehicle technologist says, it's not actually achievable yet through cameras alone.
The company began removing radar from its vehicles last May. In October, Tesla removed its 12 ultrasonic sensors from Model 3 and Model Y vehicles built for North America, Europe, the Middle East and Taiwan. Ultrasonic sensors measure distance via ultrasonic waves and are used as proximity sensors to support anti-collision safety systems, particularly in parking use cases.
Now it appears radar is back. It's not yet clear which models will get the new radar. The type of radar Tesla intends to market next year is of a frequency that's allocated by the FCC for ADAS use cases, according to Ram Machness, chief business officer at Arbe Robotics, which produces ultra-high-resolution 4D imaging radar.
Tesla had originally filed with the FCC to use the new radar — which is described in filings as "76-77 GHz Automotive Radar" — in its vehicles back in June.
"From the frequency of operation (76-77GHz) as well as the mechanical design of the sensor from Tesla's FCC filing, it appears that this radar would be utilized in ADAS applications," Steven Hong, VP and general manager of radar technology at semiconductor company Ambarella, told TechCrunch.
He noted that while the performance of this "edge" radar sensor will be limited, it's a positive development that Tesla is looking to add radar to its perception stack for safety-critical, robust performance.
Earlier this year, the FCC had granted a confidential treatment to Tesla in order to keep the details of the new radar under wraps. Late last month, Tesla applied to extend that confidentiality treatment another 60 days from its date of expiration, which is December 7.
i hope this answers your question

I'll throw out some notable 'milestones' , focusing only on the Model Y LR base model:
* Feb 2021 - $49,000 - Roughly the lowest price for the Y LR (not including the SR @ $42k)
From this point forward, Tesla started increasing the price about $1-2 every month or so, until it peaked out at $66,000. Ex:
* May 2021 - $51,000
* July 2021 - $53,000, etc...
* Feb 2022 - $59,000, etc...
* July 2022 - $66,000 <-- peak
* Dec 1 2022 - $66,000 (-$3750 credit/refund)
* Dec 15 2022 - $66,000 (-$7500 credit/refund)
* Jan 1 2023 - $66,000 back to peak (-$7500 fed tax credit only on 7-seater)
* Jan 13 2023 - $53,000 (-$7500 fed tax credit on base model + 7-seater but not performance)
* Jan 23 2023 - $53,500 (-$7500 fed tax credit on base model + 7-seater but not performance)
* Feb 4 2023 - $55,000 (-$7500 fed tax credit on all models)

Borrowed an upcoming BIG3 EV SUV when it was 15*F outside. Got 1 mile per kWH. It cost me $1 per kWh at local charger.
You're not very bright if you're paying $1/kwh.

- it is great for using driving around town like work & school as long as it's within your range
- you must invest in home charger (level 2 at least), it's pointless if you have EV not having this at home
- if you do charge at the station, charging to 80% will be anywhere from 10-20 minutes but the last 20% will be an additional 20 mins at least. This is due to prevent battery explosion I guess so going from 80%-100% is not ideal when you at the station unless you like to sit in the vehicle and do nothing. This is why you need home charging if you need to take it to 100%
- road trip: need well plan and remember, you can start with 100% but most of the time you actually only have 80% unless you willing to sit and wait to get the last 20% (20 mins) to fill it up. So the minimum you be spending at the station would be like 20 mins. Unlike ICE, you can just pump and procrastinate as you have many stations but EV, you need to follow your plan.
- EV is not like ICE, it uses more battery when you are on the freeway, the faster you drive, the more power it consumes. The estimated range of the battery is mostly driving cities without running AC/heater/ect.. Any accessories consume battery power.
Personally, I wouldn't take EV for a long road trip. Overall, this is a great deal if you are in the market for it.

I've owned a Model 3 since early 2019. It's the best driving experience in the world, hands down. Four years, 0 maintenance. No oil changes, nothing. Just test-drive one, and you will see.
Yes, it doesn't have all the buttons and knobs of most cars. But it replaces that with amazing software. The fact that it has "sentry mode" which records anything that happens to your car when you're away. The fact that you can LIVE STREAM the car's cameras real-time from your phone. The fact that you can have a "dog mode" and leave your pet in there safely. So, so, so many small amazing things.

The fact that Tesla cars are THE safest mass-produced cars ever bult in the history of mankind. https://www.tesla.com/blog/model-...sted-nhtsa (a lot of this is due to the architecture of an electric car with its low center of gravity and extra crumple zones). Recent story of how Tesla fell off a 250 foot cliff and everyone survived - https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/03/us...index.html
Seriously. Just test drive one.
Take it from people that are into cars and money doesn't matter--whatever you think of him, millionaire rogan is a big car guy and has a real car collection..

Tesla stock will tank further from now. Their prices will be minus 10K from now before tax credit.

My first Tesla was a 2020 Model Long Range. Then my wife got a 2021 Model Y Long Range 7-seater. She traded that in for a 2022 Model X Long Range and now I have a 2022 Model Y Performance.
In short, if you're not buying an EV to save money, then you will be disappointed. But you can check out my videos. Service center experiences, trip costs, etc.
Thank you for your time.
