I love how their pricing includes “$2100 in gas savings” as a make believe incentive rather than just showing what the price of the vehicle is.
To get the $5,000 CVAP grant, your gross income has to be below a certain level, based on the number of people in your household. Most people that qualify for the CVAP would not have a high enough gross income to qualify for the full $7,500 federal tax credit.
The $7500 tax credit does not apply to leases
I am aware of that. That is why I did not mention leases in my response. Most people buy Teslas, especially since they never passed through the Federal credit on leases, unlike some other manufacturers.
Ok, but the whole crux of @Nick1349’s pricing question is in regards to very low lease prices with all of these rebates stacking
I wonder if they’re gonna tier this credit out depending on MSRP.
it’s very interesting

The tax credit applies to leases, but goes to the lien holder. generally they givethat back to you in the form of credits back on the car. I am not sure if Tesla does this, but Nissan discounted their leaf quite a bit when they had tax rebates.
If tesla gave government credits back to anyone they’d be broke

Well, yes. As the lessee, the tax credit doesn’t apply.
The manufacturer may choose to pass on an equivalent incentive, but they have no obligation to (and lots aren’t passing on the whole thing in the current market).
Nissan currently is incentivizing the leaf quite a bit more than just the tax credit amount.
