Beginning in 2024, everyone under the income limit qualifies for the full $7,500 rebate. It does not matter if you owe less than that in taxes, and you can get it at the time of purchase instead of waiting for next year's taxes.

edit: For clarification from the wiki: "The 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."
So lower income people will not get a $7500 refund, it depends on your liability. i.e. A SDer responded about a student being angry in a previous thread that they only got $500 back and not $7500.
Virtually all of the ICE vehicle can be recycled. Generally the only items not recyclable per se will be interior trim - it's mixed plastic and rubber. Engine? steel or aluminum. Gearcases? Steel or aluminum. Body, frame, etc, steel or aluminum. In fact, about 86% of a car can be recycled [recyclenation.com].
Meanwhile your EV will still have a fully and readily recyclable frame and body, just like the ICE. The motor will generally be recyclable. The battery? Not really. Generally batteries and battery packs are not really designed for recycling. Most are just thousands of individual cylindrical cells, that themselves are spiral wound multilayer structures. There's no easy way to separate the materials here. An ICE, you literally rip out the engine with heavy equipment and include it in with any other steel or aluminum - the process is astonishingly easy and quick [youtube.com] with heavy equipment.
Meanwhile, the batteries are generally just shredded [ucsusa.org]. The resulting material is called "black mass" and is placed into a bath of caustic chemicals to leech out the *important* elements. In certain cases, that black mass is first incinerated to burn off plastic and epoxies. Yeah that sounds super efficient and environmental to me.

Got lucky that I was able to get the Uber/Costco discounts at the time, but would be pissed if I had to pay over MSRP like a lot of dealers are charging.
Love the adaptive cruise, heated/ventilated steering, and that it mostly drives and controls like a normalish Japanese car. Just wish it was a little easier to see over the front of the hood as it goes out and then drops off

edit: real story. but shared for laughs. not trying to debate or justify reasons-why-people-buy-x-vehicle.
Also it will never match the software integration Tesla has.
I though this was a typo on the OP's part, but the website does indeed state a 40 amp breaker on a NEMA 14-50 outlet. Umm talk about a code violation.
(Keep in mind that this is a universal outlet install, NOT a direct wiring install. So the breaker NEEDS to be sized to the maximum load limit, not just the load limit of the primary device that's going to be installed on it.)
A breaker rating is 100% based on the gauge wire used on the circuit. Nothing else. Using a 50amp outlet on 40 amp circuit (8 gauge wire) is specifically called out in NEC code and it has been the norm for decades. Table 210.21(B)(3) Receptacle Ratings for Various Size Circuits. There are no 40 amp receptacles. Not a hack.

ugly car and gm isn't known for reliability.
first redo design to make it at least a little attractive. then interior and then work on using ev to move it.
dunno why the design is so bad when any decent design copy paste would be a better look.
the main reason people even want these ugly cars are because of the tax credits for the upper middle class the middle class cannot use this and lower classes can definitely not benefit.
who benefits from slickdeals? the deal seekers not the upper middle class seeking this.
