Het is nu officieel (wat we vermoedden), Tesla heeft tot 1 juli gewacht om zijn 200.000 wagen in de USA uit te leveren, daardoor halveert de federale premie van $ 7,5k uit in stappen
per 2 volgende semesters vanaf 1 jan 2019, 1 jan 2020 = einde:

Tesla has updated its EV incentive support page last night to reflect the phase-out of the federal tax credit – warning buyers:
The following federal income tax credits are available to anyone who purchases a new Tesla Model S, Model X or Model 3:
Federal Tax Credit For Vehicles Delivered
$7,500 On or before December 31, 2018
$3,750 January 1 to June 30, 2019
$1,875 July 1 to December 31, 2019
|
A Tesla spokesperson confirmed that they have hit the 200,000th delivery threshold this month.
Tesla has become the first automaker to reach the threshold and trigger the phase-out period. GM and Nissan are not too far behind however.
Electrek’s Take
Even though it’s exactly what we expected, I am glad that Tesla is finally confirming it because that’s something that is affecting the buying decision of many people in the US.
This is especially true when it comes to waiting for other Model 3 configurations vs. getting one that is available this year.
The best example is a Model 3 reservation holder waiting for a Model 3 with standard battery pack who might not want to pay $9,000 for the Long Range pack, but they could reconsider it if it means losing $3,750 in tax credit.
I am not necessarily saying that people waiting for the standard battery pack won’t have access to the full tax credit, but it looks extremely unlikely at this point with Tesla’s “6-9 months” delivery window.

Een Tesla model 3 heel vroeg te reserveren (best in 2016) heeft dus ook een extra financieel voordeel. De echt gelukkigen zullen zijn die nog voor einde 2018 hun Tesla krijgen. Deze federale premie geldt voor alle E-wagens. Maar eens een constructeur 200k geleverd heeft in de USA start the phase-out period voor dat merk. Voor GM en Nissan gaat dat binnenkort ook gebeuren.
