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'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)

1. I didn't realize it at the time, but we bought the 269 mile version, not the 330 something mile version. God Dammit.
2. Got the Tesla charger installed at our carport for $300. That was much less painful than I expected.
3. Cruise control is a must to get decent mileage, and I have more trouble getting cruise control to operate as expected in this car than I have in any of my previous cars, spanning just about every brand- Pontiac (3x), VW, Mercedes, Chevy, Subaru, Ford.
4. On that note, everything in the car is just different enough that it's jarring to my 40 year old ass. I'm driving a $25k Ford Maverick that has normal door handles, framed windows, and physical buttons and dials for the AC and Carplay.
5. I wanted to hate it, but the driving itself is fun. My dream car was my 2016 Chevy SS, this is faster.
6. EVs in general are cool, but there's no way that shoppers would let GM, Toyota, or VW get away with the fit and finish and general quirkiness of this car, especially at this price point.
7. Hardcore Tesla fans kind of suck. Most of them weren't "car people" until they got the Tesla, and it shows. The per capita rate of vanity plates is way too high and they refer to their cars as "Teslas" with way too much pride.
In light of all of the above, I'm really looking forward to buying an EV for myself from a major manufacturer. This performance, free (with solar) fuel, and normal farking Carplay, leather, and doors would be pretty sweet.
The low-profile tires need a bit more care and are more expensive to replace. My current car has low-profile tires, and you'll need to be careful around potholes and speed bumps as they can damage the rim. But if you don't like the wheels, you could always swap them out and sell them.

NC Wake too.. sold my old vehicle and have the plate valid till Aug. Was told not to take it off insurance yet ( might have chances of auto plate cancellation).
While filling the Registration info in app, choose option to reuse the plate. Hopefully that should help.
I do see Registration Amount 77.50 in the final price of MYLR. Not Sure if that is amt for transferring plate ( DMV says it's 21$) or new plate. Vehicle should be up for delivery next week,. No date yet. Will call service center then
All this, just to delay paying property taxes till Aug when old plate expires.

However... Even the long range version of this car is faster than anything this car has business with. In term of needs? You don't really need the performance version, but it sure looks better and is of A batter value
any other reason to get the performance version is that you may have better chance find your car in the sea of teslaa
Let's say ur car total cost is $60k… you're financing $40k and paying $20k out of your pocket… u go to Tesla App and indicate the financial institution you're financing with and for how much… then the MVPA will show all the detail of ur payment… for $20k cash, you can also use Tesla app to pull money directly from bank account… for the finance loan check from the bank, USSFCU will mail u a check made out to Tesla which u hand off at the time of pickup.
USSFCU can mail u a loan check overnight if u need it for $30 fee or they can send regular mail to you ahead of pick up date.
I already have my down in place, but they will not even let me SIGN the loan contract until the day of. They will mail it overnight for $30 fee on the date signed, but that's moot point because then it arrives the NEXT day.

but as I said before. LR is plenty fast, with better ride. and if you don't take the car to track, there isn't much need for the suspension upgrade (and would be a downgrade in ride quality), and you will almost never use the brake. but 4 k is still a good price for wheels and other cosmetics. I would have jumped on it if the opportunity was available to me. I value them around 5 to 6k. not 11k.
