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)

Placed order "late" after wife was able to test drive and compare Model 3 and Model Y.
- MYLR White w/ 20inch wheels
01/21/2023
Estimated Delivery Date of last week of March. At this point I was looking at the MYP vs the LR as there was uncertainty if I would even qualify for FED credit at this point.
01/27/2023
Make decision to change order to MYP and start looking at inventory builds.
I am pre-approved with Penfed but their rate is really high. My score is averaging 750-765 right now but will drop if and when I apply at another CU. What did most of you do first, apply for the loan then membership or both at the same time? I'm in South Florida and any help from the best community on the internet would be appreciated.

Make decision to change order to MYP and start looking at inventory builds. Later that day I find one after trying to transfer reservation to another one with phone customer support. Online chat support was useless and wanted me to create a new order, possibly to get whatever commission is available.
VIN immediately assigned to my account as soon as I hang up phone call. Then Tesla app starts to ask for all tasks leading up to final payment.
Late in the evening, I am alerted to schedule delivery between 01/29/2023 - 02/01/2023
I start loan apps to find best rate. Local CU won at 4.5 APR.
01/28/2023
Tesla emails stating that I need to schedule my delivery date by end of day or my order will be canceled.
Scheduled last possible date to make sure financing is taken care of.
01/29/2023
Tesla emails asking for proof of funding but lackluster communication starts with Tesla team. Phone number that initiated text message for my order was a ghost town. Email communication was a ghost town... customer phone support was slammed so couldn't connect with anyone.
I was seeking clarification on what they needed from me. Ended day without answer.
01/30/2023
Local dealer reaches out to me to answer questions and dot the i's and cross those t's. Send proof of funding via email as requested and I am cleared to pick up that day if I wanted to.
Picked up vehicle that day.
The whole process was easy enough but the lack of communication when they themselves deemed it urgent was crummy. Added stress to something that didn't need too. To be fair, it does seem like they were slammed with the surge of recent purchases. Sales Associated that checked me in for my pickup did mentioned that they were doing 60+ deliveries a day from 12 ish early January.
The overview of the car was rushed due to the long line waiting to pick up and some of the associates seemed beat. I mention this because some associates were rude to me and other customers. Luckily I didn't spend too much time with them.
Wife and I were looking into a MYP last year but held off. So lucky we did and even luckier that we went with the Performance before IRS allowed that model for the credit.
Good luck to you all that are still waiting to get delivery.
I could buy the car outright but rather put that back into bonds at 6.8%.
I'm happy with the experience given the rates that they're offering. The only credit union offering lower is Gold Coast and they have still yet to respond to my application for membership which was submitted on the same day as Tower's.
To answer your question about refinancing vs new, the rates are the same with Tower. I refinanced and have 2.99% for 60 months.

I pickup my MYLR on Wednesday (unless I switch to a MYP-still debating) and I moved around some things so I can just pay Tesla in cash. Gotta figure out how they want me to do that. Then I'll refi with tower whenever they reach out to me. Hopefully my vehicle passes my 100 point inspection lol. Did yours? Did you decide to start paying immediately or wait 90 days?
