-----
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.
----------------
And California residents that live in a disadvantage community (DAC) https://cleanvehiclegra
Disadvantaged communities are determined using CalEnviroScreen (https://oehha.ca.gov/calenviroscr...
here's the DAC map: https://oehha.ca.gov/calenviroscreen/sb535
And receive an Approval Letter through email.
You must receive an Approval Letter BEFORE you purchase a vehicle. We do not offer rebates and you cannot redeem a grant if you have purchased a vehicle before being approved.

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

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

Can you give some details about how it is $27,330 for PA
Thanks in advance
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.
It won't reduce anything from MSRP
It's something like the "Destination charge" we are paying in advance
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.

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.

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.
