That does look really good.

I'd get one with that High Country trim with the saddle brown leather.

BTW, the $250 annual EV fee did not make it to the final version of the bill. But the $7500 credit is gone at the end of September.

It will be interesting to see if manufacturers lower prices to compensate. Many raised prices when the credit was introduced.

You got that SALT deduction back too. $40k deduction. That's roughly $13k back in your pocket if you can deduct the entire amount. So, you lost a $7500 one time credit, but that's roughly $1100 a month back in your pocket.

What is your payment on the 3?

In fact, with all that yuugeee tax windfall, it should cover your current Model 3 payment AND a new Model Y payment if you trade your current Y in now, especially if you qualify for the credit.

Better hurry.

SALT cap didn’t exist until the 2017 jobs act and even the higher cap expires in 2030

That said let’s veer back away from politics
