Tesla Model 3 RWD starts at $40,240 but is now eligible for the full $7,500 federal tax credit (income limits apply). Previously, it was only eligible for $3,750. This makes the starting price $32,740 after tax credit.

Deal is even sweeter if you live in a state with additional credits:

VT: $26,320
MA: $26,830
PA: $27,330
RI: $27,820
DE: $27,820
NY: $28,320
CA: $28,330
CO: $28,330
CT: $29,030
ME: $29,320

Full tax credit details below, but the following income limits apply:

$300,000 for married couples filing jointly
$225,000 for heads of households
$150,000 for all other filers

NO IT DOES NOT.

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

I mean, I'm always wondering how this ev credit works. I'm single and make less than 150k a year.
Hate when people include tax credits into price that not everyone qualifies for without all the info, it's a little misleading in these ev/Tesla threads. This requires a tax liability of $7500 or more that you get after you file and is not point of sale. Also max income of $150-300k for single/married filers to qualify.

EV vehicles are a sham. Nothing green about disposing lithium batteries or the fossil fuels burned in powering the grid that charges them. And not to mention the 6 fire trucks of fire retardant chemicals it takes to put out the battery fire from a traffic collision.

It's misleading to the low paying folks who don't have a high tax liability. I remember seeing a post a few years ago about a college student bringing up how he got $500 back instead of $7500.

Don't know how post like these even get thumbs up. Must be Tesla haters.

1: Destination fees are common when purchasing any car.

2: Last time I checked, gas pumps aren't included to be installed in your driveway when purchasing an ICE vehicle.

While it's nice to have charging equipment included, it's really a drop in the bucket compared to the overall purchase. At lease you can buy one from anywhere else and use the included J1772 to Tesla/NACS adapter. Not forced to buy from Tesla.

3: The order fee goes towards the purchase price. So it's not an additional cost unless you decide to back out.
Order fee don't go towards purchase price
It won't reduce anything from MSRP

It's something like the "Destination charge" we are paying in advance

Quote from PurpleMeerkat3190 :
Sorry if this a dumb question, but if you qualify for the tax credit, does it just go towards your taxes you file at the end of the year? So it really doesn't go towards let's say the "loan" ? Or am I getting it mixed up
It's not a dumb question. While the credit is applied to your total tax liability for the tax year in which you bought the EV, and you could think of the credit as not being "paid" until your taxes are reconciled (which is what you are really doing when you file your return), there are ways to benefit from the credit earlier.

If you are subject to payroll withholding, you can change your Form W-4 so that less federal taxes are withheld, thus retaining more of each paycheck through the year.

Even better, if you pay estimated quarterly taxes, you can effectively reduce your payments in anticipation of the credit. For example, assuming the credit really will be $7,500, I will pay $2,500 less in each of the three quarters remaining in the 2023 tax year.

Even better if you qualify $2000 CA tax rebate
When I go on the website it's showing that I qualify for $7500 state because of the household and income. Does anyone know if it's hard capped at $2000 or are they just using the minimum saved if you qualify?

I'm not about to post one of my order agreements, but someone on Reddit did.

https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaMod...ee_charge/

You can clearly see the $250 deposit in the "Payment Received" section.

I guess my posts could've been worded better, but the point is that it's not $250 extra as it basically gets cancelled out when you complete the purchase.

I bought a model y in February and haven't paid any $$ for charging. Work offers free charging so saving close to $300 month on filling the gas tank. I used to drive a q7..best decision ever to go EV
Same here

My car loan is 2.47% for 8 years.

So right now gold man Marcus is literally buying me a car when the interest is at 5.25%


Car is being paid by the bank... Electricity is paid by third party.
