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.

Dealers are REALLY hurting themselves now and not only screwing us but also screwing the manufacturers which in turn want that piece of the pie so raising their MSRP. I don't think this will end up good for dealers long term. They can sell 1 car for $5k profit instead of 5 for $1k profit and happy with that.
If it's taking you 72 hours to charge you phone you need a slick deal on a phone instead of constantly trolling the EV threads my dude
Just an extra cost that serve no purpose.
Ordering directly from manufacturer and cut everyone else out let car dealers all go belly up they offer nothing

There's a first time for everything.
Sadly this still ain't it for you
As I said- if you drive a typical # of miles daily, you can easily recharge those miles from a normal 120V socket overnight in an EV.
It sounds like you complete ignorance of the topic is showing again.

I eagerly await your next post of completely untrue claims!
Please help educate me
I was thinking of ordering at a highly rep dealer 7 hours away and hoping for delivery 3-4 months from now
I mean I would prefer to put least deposit if not a $0 deposit
2. They could make EVs that had a range over 200 miles. The Roadster was over 200 miles. The Leaf and others were experimental and did not add as many batteries. Honest battery engineers admit it's very difficult to improve the tech. It's not like a freaking Iphone or game system.
3. The Concorde was released in the late sixties. One might have imagined we'd at least be flying as fast as that plane by now as the standard, but we're still flying the same, slow commercial airliner types. It's a fallacy that all tech improves given time. If that were true, we'd have laser rifles by now, LOL.

You must be thinking of the 120V charges providing 4 miles for each hour of charge, but even that would cover the average user if charged every night.
