Almost certainly, yes.
Average increase in income happens pretty gradually... 2023 to 2032 is 9 years.
2012-2021 is also 9 years...average household income in that period increased only about 33%....from 65596 to 87432.
If we bump another 33% we go from 87432 to $116,284.56...below even the 150k SINGLE limit for the credit- let alone the 300k married one.
So yes- most people would still qualify.
Even the average current Tesla owner making 130k would only be up to 172.9k at 33% bump-- WAY under the married limit at least....and since we know a cheaper/smaller Tesla model is coming out by end of 2024 the average income of Tesla buyers will continue moving downward overall.
Now all THAT said-- if you read what they passed- they estimated an HILARIOUSLY low total cost for it.... and as EV sales continue scaling they will blow out that number pretty fast... which will probably lead to some in congress calling to end or change the credit.... who knows if/when that happens though.

...then why were you asking if I thought income levels in 2032 would still let people qualify?
You seem to move goalposts every time you get an answer you don't like.
But no way to supercharge it

The Bolt is tiny, and nowhere near the build quality of the least expensive Tesla model. There is a REASON it's $20k less! 🤡
Not really-- no. I've been quite consistent in my posts.
BTW if you're curious on the math of why I mentioned in my previous post IRA costs will be insane:
CBO estimated total cost of the clean vehicle credit from 2023 to 2031 at 7.541 billon dollars.
If we assumed $7500 per car that's... 1 million EVs before you've spent it all.
Tesla is likely to sell nearly that many, in the US alone, this year by itself (and near double that worldwide)
Even if we assumed $3750 per car (and again most Teslas get the full $7500) that's only 2 million cars.
Plus, ya know, other car makers DO sell a FEW EVs in the US besides Tesla.
So they're gonna blow through that 7.5 billion sometime either late THIS year or maybe early/mid 2024 if legacy continues to fail to ramp their production--- rather than by end of 2031 as estimated.
(even funnier- 85 million was the estimated cost for just 2023.... that's only 11,333 EVs getting $7500 each.... Tesla alone blew through that in like the first week of the year)
Now- that's just a CBO cost estimate used to encourage passing it.... so it's not like they 'run out' of money to keep paying it.... but eventually someone in congress might notice the hole it's burning in the budget.... (or they might not- they haven't seemed to care much about deficits in a long time...)

Failing to maintain something- by doing no maintenance- is improper maintenance.
That's WHY THEY TELL YOU WHAT MAINTENANCE TO DO.
Or are you trying to argue that, say, driving an ICE vehicle for 100,000 miles without ever changing the oil is not improper maintenance?
Likewise tire makers are clear failure to DO NOTHING (ie not rotating your tires) can qualify as improper maintenance and they won't cover the treadlife warranty if it wears unevenly as a result of your improper maintenance
Tons more examples if you're still unclear on this.
If you have any you think that's not true of- feel free to quote my words and explain why you think that.
I've certainly done so- repeatedly- with yours
I mean, it also has an engine and transmission and a bunch of OTHER expensive parts to fail that the EV doesn't....
Also while an older Model S battery might be 20k- a Model 3/Y one is not.
13k per this source-
