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

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)

A comparable Gas/hybrid car is not 15-30k cheaper, especially hybrid
You also do not need to get solar for your EV
The 2 biggest ones to my mind are:
You get the other half of the quicker acceleration that the boost on an LR does not get you.
You get access to track mode.
You also get access to the 21" wheels from the factory, and a top speed increase from 135 to 155... plus a couple cosmetic things (alloy pedals, carbon fiber spoiler)
My thinking is, if you don't mind the 21" wheels (personally I hate big wheels, ride is rougher and it's easier to damage the rims on potholes too) AND you care about quickness at all.... then the P is an easy buy.
Since you were already going to pay 2k for "half" the performance difference with boost, why not pay 3k instead to get ALL of that performance difference... plus track mode access and the top speed and cosmetic bumps too.
If you do NOT care about quickness, then skip the P as you wouldn't be buying the boost either and you save 3k.
(If you care about quickness but hate the 21s you can always sell them and swap smaller wheels on after the fact, just a bit of a PITA to do)
do you think you can swap the 21 wheels with a M3LR?
Need help. I have booked MYLR with black color and yet to get the VIN assigned. How to change the color from black to blue. On call with Tesla but long wait time.
Can someone please help?

AFAIK the Y 21" Uberturbine wheels will fit a non-performance Model 3 as the hub/bolt pattern is identical... but you'd need crazy low profile tires to make it work (one thread I saw suggested something like 245/30R21 front and 295/25R21 in back)

So what are the things I should be looking at regarding the VIN? FWIW, my order is the MYLR, not performance.
EDD 2 weeks back: Mar 17 - Mar 31
EDD last week: Feb 18 - Mar 18
EDD on 02/04: Feb 12 - Feb 26
02/06 - changed the color to MSM to see if the delivery date will change.
02/07 - VIN assigned for delivery between Feb 7 - Feb 14
02/07 - cancelled the order since I don't need a new car now and want to wait for HW4 probably in 2024.

ignore the EV discussion all together: ICE car has been requesting premium for better performance for ages (and are still doing that as we speaking). i don't understand your logic when REV4 cost 28k, and REV4 prime starts at 40k (+ 10k markups in addons everywhere) and you are not crying out load in RAV 4 post, i mean what is RAV4 prime, if it is not a slightly faster RAV4 with some very short EV range? and while we on the toyota, what's the difference between a 2.0 GR supra and 3.0 GR supra for the 10k difference? 255 HP vs 382 HP, that's it, and that 50% horsepower increase represent 25% extra MSRP increase for the same car.
so by applying toyota's price strategy, prius hybrid has about 150hp, and model 3 has about 425 hp, which 2 and half times of 25% increase in power, if model 3 drive train in prius badge, it would have cost you around 50~55k, which to you surprise, is exactly how much this car cost.
