Same, I'm far from up to date regarding if any '25's are delivered. I thought I recalled a single post somewhere that someone received a '25 (S Vin), but I could be wrong. I told that to the rep when I asked. I explained it as I had heard that at least 1 person received a '25. That's when he told me they don't have any 25's.
Your comment implies that you think the $7500 tax credit gets taken off your taxes like they used to. That is no longer the case. Now the $7500 is applied during the sale process. So it lowers the price of the vehicle by $7500. Way better deal. It does seem like there will be a wait time until this happens. Last year in January I wanted to buy a Model Y when it changed to taken directly off the price of the vehicle. Even though it was being written that it was going to happen on January 1st. That didn't happen. When talking with Tesla reps. I was told it was a paperwork issue and that it would be awhile until it was resolved. I waited, and January 12th it changed to point of sale. At that time, I was able to purchase new 0 miles 2023 Model Y LR from Inventory for the listed price of $44,090, which after the incentive, and all fees, worked out to under $43K out the door price. So if you can practice some patience, it will probably pay off very well.
it seems like you can file it on your taxes, according to the fuel economy website.
i will wait until they work something out on their website, but i think the cybertruck will be tricky if what people are saying about the components making it eligible for the tax credit. i don't really care if i have a 24 or 25 year vin.
i hope that's not totally the case. placing an "order" shouldn't affect the eligibility of the vehicle and final purchase agreement because you have an order in place before they finalize the paperwork.
I can't imagine any benefit to waiting over a year to file taxes. When I bought the MY, I paid cash. So my sales tax fee, and registration, was based on the $7500 lower price for the vehicle. I've heard a lot of people use the $7500 as part of a down payment. Also, some people with lower incomes and less of a tax burden, don't have a tax bill of over $7500. So when that's the case, they only get to write off what their tax burden is for that year.
I you know you'll be under the income limit in 2025 or were under in 2024, take it at point of sale. There is no clawback if your total tax for the year is less than $7,500. If you wait to get it when you file then it resumes behaving as a non-refundable credit. Only had $6k in tax liability? Only get $6k credit. Whereas with point of sale it would be the full $7,500.
ASIDE: I've heard of this technique in the past. Wording by a LLM.
Sales tax should not have been impacted by the point of sale credit. It doesn't change the purchase price.
ideally waiting for point of sale purchase and a S vin. they’re already bugging me to schedule delivery.
Early Adopters get ALL THE FUN..... That's PRICELESS
Stand your ground! Don't be pressured by Tesla to take delivery.
Not only that. But, once the word gets out. why would anyone want to pay $78,990 for a 24 model in January of 2025, when they can get a 25 model for $71,490 (prices based on $1K off referral) . I would think Tesla is going to come up with reduced pricing for 2024 models to avoid problems clearing out 2024 Inventory.
i thought about that, too. they’re going to need to think of a way to push their inventory. their sales advisors that i have talked to so far seem to be clueless of the tax incentive at the moment.
i will try to. they included “risk cancellation” but thats BS if they try that.
Some may have gotten lucky with it, looks like this one person did: https://www.torquenews.com/11826/te...ruck-new-owners-say-its-much-quieter-smoother
