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:

$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

After all the clicking and adding stuff I get this

This car can only be registered in CA

Why can't they just motioned this before everything.

Are you in Texas? Texas prohibits car makers from selling directly to consumers, so you have to jump through extra hoops there to avoid paying a middle-man dealer.... A few other states do as well... In those cases you have to legally "buy" the car in California, then they "deliver" the car you already own to your home state they can't actually "sell" the car to you in.

Dumb law, but car dealers pay good money buying state legislators to ensure it stays that way.

401k already maxed out? No unrealized capital losses to realize?

Although there's a tax credit, plus a potential $2,000 in NY. Don't you still have to pay the sticker price upfront, wait until tax season and then get the potential refund money?

Sorry if this is a dumb question but that's just my understanding right now, just seeing clarification.

I've joined the club again. A few pages back I mentioned that I wasn't pleased with just a 15min test drive. Stopped by another Tesla center today and they allowed me to drive it for as long as I want. Drove it 50 miles and I'm very impressed with the new car compared to the 2018 I had. Far superior ride quality compared to the 18 dual motor I had, felt much more well damped and supple compared to the 2018 which felt like the suspension bottoms out constantly. Still not as quiet as I'd hope but it's better than I remembered. Average for the 50 mile drive was 196Wh/mile with AC on auto at 70 (73 degrees weather), mostly 45-55MPH zone, but took it on the highway going 65-70 for 10 miles. The car only had 150 miles on the odometer so it may get even better after some miles get put on the tires. I'll shop around for insurance and see if I can do better. My current policy is quoting over 2x the car I'm replacing it with.

Edit: wanted to add that the first part of my drive was 31 miles of 45-55MPH zone using 10% of the charge, at 188Wh/mile. Not sure how linear the discharge curve is, and wether I could've gotten 310 miles out of it at 0% had I kept going in the same conditions. Seems to add up since assume usable capacity of 58kWh/188 = 308. The entire 48 mile drive used 17%, went from 91 to 74.

Correct the current credit is resolved when you file your taxes after the end of the year.

In theory you can get some of it earlier by adjusting your pay withholdings (but to avoid confusion that has no impact at all on how much of the credit you qualify for... it's just a way to move some of your eventual refund earlier on the calendar)

In 2024 the tax credit will be point of sale and come off the price of the car.... BUT:

You still have to qualify for it, and if you don't they'll reconcile that at tax time and you'll have to repay anything you weren't entitled to.... AND you run the risk I mention below if you're looking at an LFP one-


Quote from RagedScorpion :

2032.

(Seriously that's the earliest the IRA tax credits end)

That said- if you're looking at a very of the 3 with the LFP batteries, that MAY get cut in half Jan 1 2024 depending on exactly how they're currently managing to get the full $7500, and the % of required domestic materials going into the thing goes up each year.



Lastly- there's the risk that the IRA will be nerfed or repealed by congress if the GOP regains significantly more control in government- since they already tried to do this in the recent debt limit negotiations but didn't have quite enough leverage to get that in.
