Since the mod decided to "lock" the last post on this topic (why, I have no clue), I thought I'd open another to address my 2019 credit. After checking my paperwork, just to make sure, I see that it wasn't the full $7,500, but rather 50% of that amount, $3,750 and that 50% ended in June of 2019:
IR-2018-252, December 14, 2018
WASHINGTON — The IRS announced today that Tesla, Inc. has sold more than 200,000 vehicles eligible for the plug-in electric drive motor vehicle credit during the third quarter of 2018.This triggers a phase out of the tax credit available for purchasers of new Tesla plug-in electric vehicles beginning Jan. 1, 2019.
Qualifying vehicles by the manufacturer are eligible for a $7,500 credit if acquired before Jan. 1, 2019. Beginning Jan. 1, 2019, the credit will be $3,750 for Tesla’s eligible vehicles.
