    Damn. I bet VicBee that they could not increase their sales by 40% or more on average over the next 5 years - maybe I'll have to eat that bet with price cuts like these! I also saw this:

    $53k for an SUV that is fast as hell (AWD?), gets unbelievable gas (haha) mileage, can kinda-sorta drive itself in many circumstances, AND you get a $7,500 tax credit? That is starting to sound like a helluva deal.

    I wonder if they are discounting the Model S Plaid. That would be the one I'd really be interested in picking up.

    "...
    • The tax credit is not refundable, which means one must have federal tax due to take advantage of it. If the tax due is less than the credit amount, one can only claim the credit up to the amount of the tax due..."
     


  3. Dude, did you just say I make so little money so as not to pay federal income tax? That is LOW Overnight. Not the first time you've been straight up MEAN to me. Why? What did I do to you? I'm sorry whatever I did to make you so mad that you need to be so mean to me.

    I am simply highlighting a sentence (bullet point) that was laid-out in the article you posted.

    The crux of the line is...If you are poor and owe no tax, you do not get the tax credit on the vehicle. So poor people will pay the 53K, and not get the magical $7500 tax credit.

  5. But I'm not poor - why would you EVER assume I was, and literally post a loser video to boot? You are just mean spirited Overnight...

    You are either poor or you are not.

    "... maybe I'll have to eat that bet with price cuts like these! I also saw this:.."

    My quotes were never about you. They were about the average person, below your level of income. (Fuck I know what your income level is).

    My post was never about you. Stop trying to make it about you. Have a heart to the million s of families who are poorer than you.
     
  7. OK Overnight, I forgive you.

    Thanks.

    Well it needs to compete with China now that came out with a cheaper knock-out so it has no choice. Great thinking to move its manufacturing plant to China. But I have to thank China for this one. Been thinking of buying a Tesla for a long time.

    Growth rate has to be higher than 40percent to keep up when they cut their gross margin by 20percent

    I highly doubt it. I've had the Model S in the P100D, the Dual Motor, and the Plaid configurations. All I've seen them do is get more expensive over time.
