It will be interesting to see if the prioritizing of incentives for American made vehicles translates into less of an incentive for cars like the MME that are made in Mexico. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
That sounds great(!) but let’s all take it with grain of salt. I’m going to email and call to see if they can give me (us) a guarantee in writing that we can get the rebate. One thing I’m wondering (though I have not checked the application details yet) is if I need a VIN before March 15 to qualify. Will let everyone know what I find out and everyone please do the same.
It isn't ordered, it's purchased (emphasis added):
I thought Tesla did qualify, as NJ doesn't use the same guidelines as the feds. The only potential limiter would be MSRP (well trodden ground on the NJ topics.)
Thanks for getting my hopes up. Even if this were true (my order was placed on July 7, 2020), the car would still have to arrive before 3/15, and I'd like to think that would be possible, since the car was built on 1/8, however, who knows when it will ship. Watch, it will arrive on 3/16.
JSOrange, you’re right. I was thinking about the 7500 federal tax credit. My mistake!!
Looks like you may have 14 days after starting the application to provide the documentation, so that could give you until 3/29. But looks like the car has to be registered by then, as that's part of the documentation required.
Dbsb3233, you’re right (as well as timbop in his earlier comment). Now that I looked at the pdf I realized I had read that before! Guess we’ll have to hope we can register by the deadline (which I’ll never make). Hope some do!! I’ll pin my hopes on the point of sale rebate becoming available before mine arrives.
Are you doing X-Plan? It's nowhere close to $5000 (maybe ~$800 savings) but at least that saves a little more.
I hope it works out! Maybe you can push to get your car by the Mar 31 deadline. $5K is on the line and it would be a shame to miss it for an unnecessary delay.
