I heard in 2024, if the EV qualifies the dealer gets the 7500.00 within 4 days from the gov. So does that still apply to having to file taxes or did they just change the way now?

Starting in January you can get your $7500 directly from the dealer as it was meant to be.

Don't you already ? Isn't this rebate a form of charity ?
Yes, government bribery. Buy this and we'll pay for a portion of it. All this because big oil donates to their adversary across the aisle.

The $7500 is applied at time of purchase- you sign a doc transferring it to the dealer.

Then as long as you weren't over the income cap that's it. If you were the IRS will add $7500 to your tax bill for the year.

We know it WON'T offer a $7500 tax credit.



Quote from cazic99 :
It doesn't say that
Dude.

It literally DOES says that.

I was directly quoting what it says in the IRS rules





Quote from cazic99 :
This guy goes over this line by line . https://youtu.be/5-8W2qAvfMo?si=J8agk7a4gH9-Yys9

Regardless, there is quite a bit of confusion,
There isn't though.

I literally quoted the IRS guidance that just was published a couple days ago, and it's quite clear.

They will not claw back overpayments if your tax burden is under $7500.

You don't need a youtube video for that, you can just read the literal IRS rule I quoted.



Quote from cazic99 :
I think k it's just better to buy it before 12-31-23 if you know if you the tax liability this year.

We also don't know if Tesla will raise prices or take away discounts if they have to pay $7500 at point of sale .
That's... not how any of that works.

Tesla doesn't "pay" anybody $7500. Tesla GETS $7500 from the IRS and takes that off the amount they charge you.

Tesla still gets the same total # of dollars, just $7500 of it comes from the IRS.



Quote from cazic99 :
Lastly, many models will not be eligible for full $7500, at least not initially .
I already covered that-- unless they change battery sourcing, or homologate differently, the LFP RWD models likely will lose $3750 of the credit, it's POSSIBLE the LR Model 3 will unless they switch those back to US made 2170s instead of China made ones.

The rest should keep the $7500 (as would cybertruck) since they all use US or Japanese cells.

Quote from cazic99 :
It says if you had reasonable expectation that your taxes were going to be more than 7500 but turns out wasn't, it would be ok. Reasonable expectation being if you had over 7500 2 years ago or something but not this year .

It says none of that however.

You can read the entire set of guidelines here:
https://public-inspection.federal...-22353.pdf
The bit I quoted is in there, being quite clear they will not try to recapture overpayments if your liability is less than $7500.


The wording you just claimed does not appear anywhere in the rules regarding this.

It DOES appear in the section on the income cap- which is a completely different matter than the liability limit.

People who aren't buying EVs fall into any of three camps: 1) an EV just isn't suitable for them, 2) they haven't yet realized that an EV is suitable for them, 3) they can't afford them. If an EV is not suitable for you then nobody can tell you it is. Any arguments for EVs here are really for the benefit of the #2's who are not also #3's.

A year ago I was a no-EV no-Musk person - I now have a Model Y. I spent a lot of time educating myself about EV's and about Musk and changed my mind. The more people that own EV's, the easy the decision becomes. Five years from now, EVs will be the norm. Most multi-car households will have at least one EV. There will always be luddites but they will look increasingly more crazy as the years pass.
What did you learn about Musk?

Why dont they just call em "sales" like all the other car manufacturers. Makes no sense. Then people can choose to wait for a sale or not.

I owned a Model X since 2017. Sold it to some poor soul last year. Besides the normal problems such as defective door latches trapping you inside a car(only able to leave from rear), rear door switches breaking, sensors not working causing the doors to not open, etc, there's a bigger problem where it tells me Tesla made these cars not to last a long time: the eMMC decision in the multimedia computer. It didn't come about until after the 4 year warranty expired. It was basically a stupid mistake of using subpar 8gb emmc memory with massive data logging in the car which causes them to fail. It was right at warranty end when this was known causing constant rebooting of the computer while driving. Why it wasn't a recall made it suspect at that time. They don't build their cars to last. Don't let the fan boys tell you otherwise.
Model X has issues with the doors becuase of the complex falcon wing. The Y has regular doors and doesn't suffer from X's problems.

The flash chip logging was a glaring oversight in their earlier gen MCUs. That's been fixed for a while. It's been years since that was addressed. The Model Y is a fine vehicle. Lotsa of oil shills spreading misinformation in this thread.

That's a broad question. There is a biography out a few a weeks ago, and the author has been on YouTube a lot telling his story. Also, if you dig into any specific issue which is polarizing, you can find other sides. For instance, turning off Starlink just prior to a Ukrainian offensive. People immediately started shouting that he was pro-Russian, but it's not that simple. He is the CEO of multiple global companies selling stuff everywhere. China is a huge market for Tesla. If he's aiding the Ukrainians in that war, it makes the position of him and the company a problem. He claims that he's not taking sides and that Starlink is not for wars. People might disagree with his stance, but at least its understandable. The whole Twitter thing too... he has given multiple interviews on that to argue his case. Again, you might not agree with him but his views aren't exactly extreme. I sure as hell wouldn't want to work for or with him, but I'll buy his products because they're good. Steve Jobs was another less than wonderful human being... but it didn't stop people buying Apple products.

As long as you can live with the car style for the longevity of these cars then these cars are fantastic. I have a 2018 model 3 where I pay practically nothing to charge since I charge at home on solar. It's been a good car. Only cost this far was a new set of tires at 35k miles. Not because of wear but because of dry rot. They're 5 years old now. The reality though is I might have to change cars into something bigger. I have another kid on the way and a 4 door sedan can't fit a family with 3 kids. When I bought the car our plan was 2 kids max. But life has its funny way of messing up your plans
