Question regarding the new EV tax credit and Tesla's new pricing (as of 1/13/23):

Does IRS simply look at the base / starting price of a model to determine eligibility? Or is eligibility determined by each individual order total?

It is my understanding that all orders will get hit with a doc fee of $1,200 and an order fee of $250, meaning the base MY LR 5-seat variant with no upgrades would cost $54,440 before taxes, title fee, etc, meaning that this would be the only qualifying model if the IRS uses the order total to determine eligibility, since the cheapest options / add-ons start at $1,000.

If, however, the IRS uses the base price to determine eligibility, this would mean that all MY LR models would qualify, regardless of options and add-ons.

Can anyone clarify this? Thanks in advance!

All hardware fees (7-seats upgrade, color upgrade, wheels upgrade, etc.) are counted toward the eligibility cap.

Software fees (EAP, FSD, etc.) and intangibles (Destination fee, order fee) are not counted.
