But some people don't mind to pay the price.
Tesla able to drop the price because it put effort to reduce manufacture cost..
Those early adopters (pro tesla people ) hope them also invest to tesla stock and they will get their money worth.
Remember Tesla couldn't sell their car cheap back then, Tesla almost bankrupt back then..
At least, it is doing the job reduce cost not like other dealers putting market adjustment or add on charge consumers thousands
model 3 base price $40xxx + white pearl multi layer paint $1000 = 41xxx
But price adjustment should also be there. Your total is $41xxx before adjustment delivery fee and tax...
Personally, I'll stick with a hybrid, until the battery technology for an EV gets MUCH better. My car doesn't rely solely on the battery, but seamlessly switches back and forth, from gas engine to EV mode. So much so, that sometimes, the only way I can tell the engine is running, while I'm driving, is that the EV indicator on the dash turns off. I currently rent, so there's no way I'd pay to have an EV car charger installed in the garage, especially as I'd also have to have the service upgraded, to handle the load. No way I'm doing that on someone else's property! Plus, the fact that I can gas up in 5 minutes, instead of 7 hours of charging time, is a definite plus! Finally, with the horror stories you hear, about people in the snow belt NOT being able to charge in cold weather?? NO THANKS!!
Oh yeah, and my car was $10K less than the model Y.
Not sure why you thought that was worth mentioning?
Or did you not understand what the fact the credit becomes effectively refundable means? Because that has nothing at all to do with the AGI caps. It means you no longer need $7500 in tax liability to use the full $7500 credit.
This helps LOWER income people, not higher, afford the cars.
And accurate per US census data.
They LIVE in such homes, even if they don't all own them.
You don't need your landlords permission to plug something into the wall.
The average American drives less than 30 miles a day, which, again, a normal 120v plug is just fine for.
No, I mean the majority. Again based on actual facts and data. Try them sometime!
Are you driving both cars, daily, 100 miles a day or something? Because if you're driving anywhere near average mileage you can easily charge both on 120v plugs as mentioned like 5 times now.
You only need 240v if you want to add an average entire day of driving back in an hour, instead of overnight while you sleep.... if you ARE in that case and own, you can get a 240v plug if you don't have one (or you might already have one on your electric dryer or stove and can add a switched port- unless you expect to do a lot of baking or laundry while you're sleeping?)
I am in MA, MOR-EV incentives also opt in when purchasing.

But what you cited had literally nothing to do with what I was talking about.
Again, the credit is effectively refundable as of Jan 1 2024. It's not refundable in 2023.
This has nothing, at all, to do with the upper AGI cap, because the AGI cap never was relevant to that question.
Refundable or not only matters if you make less than a certain amount, not if you make more
The "makes too much" money part is entirely unchanged from this year to next. If you're over the AGI max you get $0.00 credit.
The big change is as of Jan 1 2024 if you make under the max, no matter how much under you can get the full $7500.
This was not true for 2023, if you made below a certain amount this year you got less than $7500 (potentially $0 if your taxable income was low enough)
This is especially significant for buyers in states where there are additional state tax credits for low-income buyers--- In 2023 it was very hard to qualify for BOTH the full federal credit and the low-income state credits. In 2024 and forward it's much easier for such buyers.
Plus Jan 1 2024 the credit also becomes point of sale-- meaning they'll apply the credit right at time of purchase as if you showed up with an extra $7500 in cash as down payment- thus significantly reducing your car loan (if you are taking one) and reducing the interest you pay on said loan as a result over its life.

For those that don't live in single family owner-occupied homes, such as if they lived in a condo, they only have to worry about oh those pesky things such as wire routing, expenses, space, and all that good stuff.
Your suggestion that you don't need to own to install is equally funny. Even suppose a renter might want to subsidize the landlord by installing improvements, would the renter agree with again, all that wiring, installing and good stuff. Not to mention, the pesky fact that the renter probably won't qualify for the tax breaks for the installation that an owner would.
Just plug it in an outlet? Cool. I guess the renter would just have to deal with the whole 3 miles per hour charging rate (advertise by Tesla). Don't ever bother taking a roadtrip or drive longer than 24 miles a day I guess.
But hey, what am I saying. Don't let facts get in the way of your BS.

Since it's a full credit, then it will be over refundable, people will get extra money.
