What comes into questions a bit more are (federal) tax credits and (state/city) rebates. If you lease for instance, who gets them?
I agree the automakers are not clear on this. But the federal government is; the $7500 goes to the owner. So if you lease, no tax credit for you.
Nissan and GM claim that they "pass on" the tax credit, so lease payments are lower because of it. I'm not sure what Tesla does.
I am assuming that the $5,000 RESERVATION amount gets applied to the purchase price, but it isn't totally clear... You aren't paying a reservation FEE separate from the car price are you?
The current $8,500 green credit available in Canada is not being referred to as a Carbon Credit but rather as an EV incentive...is it possible that these are two seperate animals?
Actually, the $8500 rebate is an Ontario provincial government program, not federal. The rebate is indeed a refund after the sale is made; however, the seller can give you the discount immediately, apply for the rebate on your behalf, and then the government sends the refund to them.
In fact that is what happened when I purchased my Roadster. Tesla just knocked $8500 off the price, submitted the paperwork, and the government sent them a check.

Thanks for the clarification Doug...this does make me wonder about the way Lexus has treated me then...I wonder why they did not give me the credit up front then they wait to recoup the rebate from the government?
The credits belong to Tesla as they produce the cars. They've sold their past credits to Honda.
