And is the credit $7,500 for that one too?
yes, the best part of the commercial credit is no msrp limit, no income limit, and it implies that it can be utilized on a used EV as long as it hasn’t been titled under a business name before. The reason for that is that you risk the original owner claiming the tax credit, and the credit follows the VIN not the owner of the vehicle. Once the vehicle gets marked as getting the credit, the next person won’t be able to. Therefore, my assumption is that if the first owner titles an EV under their personal name, and the vehicle exceeds the $80k msrp where the person can’t claim the individual EV tax credit, it would be implied that the next owner that titles the vehicle would have a limited risk of the EV having its tax credit filed by the prior owner. I’m not an accountant, verify with your tax advisor or cpa first.

Yep. I'm one of those people. The way Tesla does business and treates it's customers has put me off buying their product ever again. I don't regret my choices of wheel type (core) and color (grey) although it c ould have been a better grey forme it's still better than white. However as a result I get an instant 6500 downgrade in value of my car as they also dropped the value of FSD (if it ever comes) by an extra $1K dow to $7K. If they hadn't wanted customers that made my choices to feel shafted they would have had the core wheels and grey at a discounted price from the off. I'm also wasting time having to fight for the $4K install rebate which they themselves have confirmed I'm eligible for. It really isn't about the money at this price point. It's about the way they treat their customers. In a couple of years other companies will offer worthy opponents I would hope. I won't hesitate to switch should that be the case. Nobody bother saying it was obvious either. Tesla at no point indicated that I was downgrading nor did they give me a discount. They did at one point call the wheels a free upgrade to try and get me to accept earlier delivery of a choice I didn't want. It's not a free upgrade if you've already paid full price.

So here's my summary of teslas magnificent sales approach that only serves to make some of it's customers feel like twats.

-Core All Season Tire/wheel (-3,500)
-Tactical Grey (-2,000)
-FSD now $7K was originally $12K

P.S based on my experience with their service department yesterday the fun isn't over
Oh and it only took 3 goes to drive away with a brand new truck that had straight panels (ish) and a lack of scratches in the b

It isn't a great "grey" but it's all about personal preference. I don't regret getting grey. I just don't like that it's basically classified as a $2K downgrade now.
Could not have possibly expressed my same sentiment any better. Any ideas for getting Tesla to make us whole?
