Tax Credit: Non-FS Model

[A1MHIGH]

Think you are going to wait for the Non-FS Model, to be able to grab the federal tax credit?

Adding certain options to the Dual-Motor AWD non-Foundation Cybertruck can push the total price above the $80,000 threshold, which would disqualify it from the federal EV tax credit. The tax credit eligibility is determined by the total price of the vehicle, including any optional upgrades.

For example:

• Ventilated Seats: $1,000
• Upgraded Wheels and Tires: $4,000

Adding these options to the base price of $79,990 would make the total price $84,990, which exceeds the $80,000 cap and thus disqualifies the vehicle from the tax credit.

Therefore, to maintain eligibility for the federal EV tax credit, the total price of the vehicle with options must remain under $80,000. This means you will need to limit the number of optional features you add to the Dual-Motor AWD non-Foundation Cybertruck to stay within the threshold.

Did anyone at Tesla say that the CT will be sold at or below the price to get the tax credit? All I hear foundation will be ending at some point. Nothing about price or eligibility. Could have done that on last earnings call. Didn't hear it. ?

Would be highly surprised if any Cybertruck model does not come set standard with ventilated seats. If a Model 3 highland ($35k-$45k) is standard with ventilated seats then why wouldn’t a more superior Cybertruck ($65k- $120k) come with them?

I was going to say that even Tesla would not be that stupid to annoy so many people but ... we've seen a variety of things that make you go ... hmmm.

There has been no evidence that ventilated seats would not be standard. It’s not listed as a foundation series feature, like white decor or home backup capability is.

The point is, one add-on, and the vehicle becomes non-qualified.

Hate to break y’all’s heart but would credit even be avail for 2025 models? Govt know to cancel plans pre matured before.

Seeing that the price for the AWD is $79,990 and that I'm pretty sure that Tesla really doesn't have anything for sale under $10.

There are no options that you can add and not take the price over $80,000

What features exist in the AWD? Should be the as the FS shipping today, minus the FS options.

As with most Teslas, it's not classic dealers where the list price only means a gas tank, an engine and a steering wheel, most Teslas come well "optioned"

Look at the other Teslas, the "options" for a Model 3 are
RWD, AWD, Performance
Long Rand and Standard range (sometimes)
Paint Color
Wheels
FSD
Charging adapter
Roof Rack
Center Console Trays
All-Weather interior liners

Don't expect Tesla to do as others do with options.

There is a good chance that if the Republicans win this November that the tax credit on EVs will disappear and 2025 models will not get a tax credit anyway.
