Rumor: US EV credit to increase to $10,000

It looks to me like Elon made a trade with someone in exchange for kicking Bitcoin to the curb, but who knows?

The Model Y price went up $3k in the time I was considering one. No chance it comes back down in the near future.

I put my order in as a hedge against future increases

There is a huge need for used Teslas (Y/3) with Carvana, Vroom, CarMax et al as they will do sub-prime financing but Tesla will not. Lot of people want Teslas but don’t have the credit score, income, or credit age to get one directly.

They sure don’t act like it only offering 5K under my next best cash offer for my P3D.

Strange - maybe not as much performance demand. I’m getting an offer of ~$37K on my 2019 SR+ with 15k miles. I paid $40K OTD (net of taxes and rebates).

Yeah getting 46 offer here for my fully loaded (yes actually fully loaded — all boxes are ticked) 2018 P3D w 38 on the clock.

Next best cash (private party) offer is 51.

Our X though seeing $74K offer which is actually more than we paid for it.

I’m assuming you have FSD then - I think private party buyers put more of a premium on that than the online sellers

“We have a deal”

The framework will include $579 billion in new spending, the White House said.

  • $312 billion will go to transportation, with $109 billion invested in roads, bridges and other major projects, $66 billion in passenger and freight rail and $49 billion in public transit
  • Only $15 billion will go toward electric vehicle infrastructure and electric buses and transit, a fraction of what Biden first proposed
  • The plan would put $266 billion into nontransportation infrastructure
  • It includes $73 billion for power, $65 billion for broadband and $55 billion for water

We will have to wait and see what the breakdown is.

Looks like it’s going towards charging infrastructure. No additional funding for ev rebates.

Which is really where it should go at this point

There is another bill in markup I’ve been watching. This is one of at least 2 bills, possibly 3, so still TBD.

The news made mention of the fact that this infrastructure deal has no entitlement spending. Highly unlikely we will see rebates included in this deal. :frowning_face:

Senate-side:

If you look at the Chairman’s mark, starts on page 26

On the House-side, Peter Welch’s Electric Car Act announced this back in Feb

has gone no where, odd considering how allegedly powerful the Energy Commerce committee is

who don’t seem in a rush to markup that bill?

I certainly am not going to say no to them throwing money at me, but there really isn’t any reason why the gov should be subsidizing people like me leasing a $75k luxury vehicle.
