And again, the hilarious part is that you actually think that any of that shit is somehow in YOUR favor. |

Tesla wouldn't just drop the prices if the tax credit would go away. The original tax credit went away (for Tesla and GM) in 2019 and Tesla prices actually went UP after it went away. |

I don't know how it works at the current point of sale discount but back in 2019, I had to file a separate form with the VIN number etc. to get the tax credit. In 2019, I no longer did my own taxes, so my CPA took care of it.

So you pay the full price and then file for the tax credit? |

The only factor determining if you get a refund or owe money is the amount withheld during the year. If it is more than total tax load, you get a refund. If it's less, you got to cut the IRS a check. |

“Spend $100k and get a deduction”. Why not just drop the price? At my point in life the way my portfolio is set up, I don’t even pay today $7000 in Fed tax. All bullshit. Boomers can’t buy EVs |

So you're saying that without the .gov providing a fee and clear profit on each car sold, the price went up? Uhhmmm. Well, yea. No shit. If you really think that Tesla would sell the same number of cars if every 1 of them was priced $7500 higher (or alternatively, if every competitor was $7500 less), you are absolutely delusional. If you really think that this "credit" is there to help the consumer (as opposed to Tesla) at this point, well... Ignorance is Bliss. |

Any smart business person with a higher income will take advantage of any tax breaks. As I said, I can also use up to $30k in annual 401k contributions to reduce my taxable income. Gotta be smart and give as little as you legally can to the tax man. |

However, not a huge difference. Most people look at payments and $7500 makes a about $100 monthly difference on a 72 month car loan. Once interest rates drop, demand will increase as will prices. |

Too much math and moving parts. Keep it simple and explain without hypotheticals. You buy a Tesla today. Do I get the $7500 discount today? Or do I have a document from the purchase that I deliver as part of my tax filing that gives me the $7500 deduction? |

Just 1 question. If that's really the case, if 20% doesn't matter, why does Elon keep dropping the price on them to try to sell them? |

If you do that, they will take $7500 off the purchase price. In case that your tax load (total taxes you are responsible for for the year) was less than the $7500, you will have to cut the IRS a check for the difference. Let's say that your total income tax for 2024 was $5000 but you took a $7500 tax credit, your refund or money you owe gets adjusted by those $2500. So, if you would have gotten a refund of $2000, you now owe $500 as you took a tax credit for $2500 more than your tax burden for the year. |
