To qualify for the federal tax credit, one must not exceed the following adjusted gross income limits:
$300,000 for married couples filing jointly
$225,000 for heads of households
$150,000 for all other filers
Federal EV Tax Credit is not refundable, which means one must have federal tax due to take advantage of it. If the tax due is less than the credit amount, one can only claim the credit up to the amount of the tax due.

CA CLEAN VEHICLE REBATE PROGRAM
$2K is available if your household makes <$200k.
There is an increased rebate of $7500 ($5500 on top of the $2k) available if you fall below income caps based on your household size.
Family of 4 max is $111k, Family of 6 is $149k.
This comes in the form of a check in 2-3 months. https://cleanvehiclereb
This is separate from the CARB Clean Vehicle Grants described below the dashes. It is possible to qualify for both, but the timing is different.

Withholding is totally irrelevant to qualifying for the credit.
If you're unclear on this go read a 1040.
The part where you compute tax liability is lines 16 through 24.
THAT is where the $7500 EV credit comes off.
Your withholdings aren't even looked at until after that on line 25+
This is also not correct.
The Child Tax Credit is worth a maximum of $2,000 per qualifying child. Up to $1,600 is refundable for the 2023 tax year.
Refundable credits are computed AFTER non-refundable ones-- so the CTC is only "worth" $400 off your tax burden for these purposes- the $1600 left is refundable.
Thus if you had say $7900 in tax burden and one CTC and one EV credit, your tax burden would go to $0 and you'd get a full refund of the $1600 refundable part of the CTC

So what if he is rich. Why does the tax credit only apply to those with lower income? Are we trying get everyone to adopt the electric cars/clean energy? Or, are we trying the get only the lower income buyers to adopt?
This is a non-refundable tax credit so you have to have paid taxes. Getting a refund doesn't necessarily mean you didn't pay taxes. It just means you overpaid. So with just the info you provided, can't really answer your question.

Tesla tracks your insurance cost based on your driving statistics. It's much lower for me than Geico and other insurance providers in my area.
Here is my profile:
2013 with 19k miles and averages about 22 mpg. Just replaced engine air filter, spark plugs, anti-freeze for about $80 to take care of the 10 yrs maintenance. Tires are changed as well due to age, but that will be the same for EV, so are brake fluid change every 3 years ($25) and every year for cabin air filter ($8). Each year, oil change is about $30.
My fears are the super expensive tire prices for the EV, phantom drain over time which may cost 1/2 of my current gas money and of course, the long term durability of the batteries before recouping the initial cost premium (~$3000)...
