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

For existing (New) inventory, I see the same car listed a few thousands less in the neighboring state (around 2-3 hours drive). I do not see an option to buy from out of state. It says "This vehicle is not available for your registration ZIP Code. "

Tesla rep says not possible. Any one done that?

I think that's more of a state government issue. They can't sell cars out of state like a dealership because they sell directly to the public. I read about this somewhere but can't remember exactly where. Maybe you could get a po box in that state for a month and do it that way?

From which website did you guys check the information using VIN?

Ordered a model Y midnight Silver paint and 20'' Induction Wheels from local inventory for 50490 after 2100 price adjustment offered for inventory ordering.
I used a referral link from my friend, but did not see referral benefits in confirmation page. Confirmed by calling Tesla there is NO referral associated with my order.
The agent suggested me either cancel the order and reorder, but I have to pay another $250 order fee, and he said that he can not guarantee that I will get the same vehicle which has that price adjustment.

Just as and FYI, if you are getting a referral, there will be a banner at the top of the right column just before you pay the $250, telling you the name of the person getting the referral and you will see the current referral discount in the totals. If you don't, click the referral link and start over.

As the story notes, not coming- already here... the majority of states were already doing this before Texas joined the crowd.

Roads are largely funded by fuel taxes,. EVs don't pay em, so they have to make up that revenue SOMEHOW.


That said- the fee (in my state anyway) is still less than I was previously paying for total gasoline tax in the Lexus my Tesla replaced.... that on top of the much lower ongoing fueling and maintenance costs. compared to the old gas car.

Yep, my state charges a $50 fee which is less than gas vehicles. I believe I won't pay the same fee amount as a gas vehicle until I hit the 10 year mark with my EV.

What did you end up doing? I wonder if you cancel will they add another discount. I mean for $2100 off thats a deal. I know it sucks not getting an additional $500 off but $1600 off is still a good deal in my opinion.

On one hand, WTF!!! I just bought on Monday and now $1,200 off just a few days later?! I was watching prices for two months and still missed it.

On the other hand, I would be thrilled to see the full tax credit available again on the non-Performance 3, but according to the IRS, the credit is still $3,750. See here [fueleconomy.gov]. This is current as of 6/1, so unless something changed since yesterday (and there is no news supporting this), it sounds like an error.
I just canceled my order for Model 3(Had pick up time at 3:30 pm today); actually they goofed up, they adjusted price to 4220$ lower than what i was paying, so i paid it at the lowered price yesterday and all of a suddent today they are asking for another $4220 which was adjusted as of yesterday.
"Technical Glitch" is their excuse. So now I'm losing 250$, but I am waiting for 2024 Model 3 😁 !!!

For me it's a lot more. But at least when enough people drive EVs it should be easier to repeal than the gas tax.

We should just toll all roads, or they should charge us a per mile amount on registration yearly (my state requires a safety and emissions inspection where they check the odometer). With smart/connected cars, they could even get it directly from the manufacturer. I drive 5-8k mi/y but pay as much as someone who drives 40k.

This tends to be heavily regressive on those with lower income though.

The majority of states do NOT have such annual inspections though- so no way to check the odometer (otherwise I agree that WOULD be a great method)

Most cars on the road (the vast vast majority) have no way to report to the manufacturer either right now-the amount of data available to Tesla of their fleet is much higher than any other maker-- though that'll be changing going forward over enough time.

The income ceiling you can use either 2022 or 2023 income.

The liability the credit can offset is only 2023 liability however.
