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.

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:

$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

That is right.
if my tax refund is for example $3k next year, so is this $7500 credit will be added on top of my $3k refund to make it $10500 refund?

Quote from ggapropros :
Agreed, I don't like how billions of tax dollars go to oil drilling either. I'm not sure why I pay a dollar of that considering I haven't used a single ounce of gasoline this year. That cost should be shouldered entirely by the engine burning the gas or the cost of the gasoline itself from the pump

Then in 10 years tax payers are going to be paying for carbon sequestration because our crops will be wiped out by the radiative forcing properties of carbon dioxide Frown
In Oklahoma they are thinking of adding additonal annual registration fee for EV vehicles.. since those cars are not filling gas so Govt. is missing out on Gas tax it seems...lol.

... what?

Why would you need to buy BOTH a wall charger and a mobile charger? Personally I've only ever bought the mobile-- it's cheaper, and it does largely the same job while being infinitely portable and offering adapters to a wide array of plug types. There's a few niche cases a wall charger offers something worthwhile, but not for most (and then why buy the mobile one unless you I dunno go a ton of remote road trips maybe?)

And every new car sold in the US has a destination fee, there's nothing Tesla specific about that.








.... I'm sure this sentence made sense to you wheny you wrote it- but it doesn't seem to make sense to anybody else.

If you have $7500 in tax liability you get the full $7500 credit.

Using the 2022 tax tables you'd need taxable income, filing single, of $54,000 or more to have $7500 in liability.

$65,900 taxable income for $7500 in liability if married filing jointly.






The tax credit goes to the lease company, which is the actual buyer of the vehicle- not the person leasing it.

Last I knew if doing a 1st party lease through Tesla they do not pass it through (it's hit and miss among which car OEMs pass through or not)


SOME 3rd party lease companies will pass along the credit- some won't- so if you think leasing makes sense to you for some reason you'd want to look for a 3rd party lease company that passes through the credit.
Little bit confused about the tax credit...
If my employer pays my income taxes, will I still get the credit? or I need to owe $7500 in my tax filing so that I am able to get the credit?

i nought my model 3 in 2020. it embarrassing how much better this car is to your typical 30k gas guzzler. waking up to a 'full tank', the quiet, the lack of noxious and dangerous emissions, blowing past dangerous drivers, the constant improvement through over the air updates. amazing. yes, their are other good Evs, but the charging network sets this one apart imho
I have a Tesla and that is my daily driver. All the chargers in my town are always busy with a line of cars waiting whenever I take a look. This means hours of waiting. Pumping gas is WAY WAY WAY more superior to using a charging network.

Because of this, I only charge at home. This also means I have to install an EV charger in my garage because the ~1% per hour with a regular outlet is a way too low. Hey, but it is really nice to never have to go to the pump.

I also have a gas powered car, and it's also nice. It's nice I don't have to fill it up as much, especially as my secondary car, but filling the tank isn't a big deal. Certainly nicer to not even have to do that, but it's a minor inconvenience.

you need to have more than 7500 in tax liability. If you only own 4000, you get 4000 back.

If you make roughly 70k (I think) you would get full credit as long as you dont have additional credits that come back against your liability

source? most people only needed to change tires on tesla. oh and the windshield wipers.
Seriously, you can google it.
You've had the car for 10 years and only changed the wipers and tires? Pretty impressive.

A dual income family of two professionals in their mid 30's to early 40's s is not outlandish for each to make 225k-250k. Think two lawyers, two doctors, two whatevers... just saying.
You totally missed the point. Nobody said people can't make a $470K income. The point is that $470K lives comfortably in any county in the USA. I don't understand how you misunderstood that.

Unless he literally handles your 1040 for you your employer does not pay your income taxes.


He might withhold some $ to pre-pay taxes, but, for the 931st time in the thread, this has nothing at all to do with how much of the credit you qualify for.

Look at line 18 on your 1040. That's how much in non-refundable credits you can use.

That's it.

See above. Knowing your refund amount tells you nothing at all useful here.

If you bought it before April 18th (all the way back to Jan 1) you're also eligible for the entire credit.
