Not correct. Since 2024, all vehicle sales must be run through the IRS portal to be eligible for any Clean Vehicle Credit whether time of sale or time of filing.
It's stated on the IRS website, must be date of delivery. They even go as far as saying you should obtain the portal confirmation forms from the vendor before delivery.
Right, by sales I meant delivery, not ordering. My point being if Tesla doesn't offer time of sale credit transfer, they aren't entering the transaction in the portal, and the buyer can't claim the credit at tax filing time. No IRS yes, Tesla no, is a no credit situation, notv a deffered credit one.
People are posting delivery holds to exchange their battery pack. Do you have any thoughts about that? Not specifically related to the EV credit, but more broadly what's going on here. I don't understand how that plays in to everything else, or even if it does. Totally guessing, but I assume it's not a defect issue otherwise they would be recalling others. I assume it's not related to the EV credit as best I can tell some people on delivery holds aren't qualifying for the credit. Confused.
There were rumors of dented cells a week or so ago. They may have a quality issue with the packs. OTOH there aren't any new recall postings about it, so it might be a non-safety performance issue instead?
