It's a tax credit, so it's money you don't have to pay to the gov't in tax.

Tesla suspended trading today? Musk saying he's going to take the stock off the exchanges and go private.

In Colorado at least, the state tax credit is given at the dealer as is the $3k rebate from Xcel. The federal tax credit has to be filed with your taxes as you said.

You do still pay sales tax on the full MSRP, so that adds back in a grand or two depending on your tax rate.

I absolutely love the Leaf as a commuter car and would pay $7500 for it all day every day. It's primarily my wife's car, but it's super nice to never have to deal with oil changes and gas. I personally found them to be a little underpowered prior to the 2018 update (which is why we only bought ours this year), but they're still super convenient for short trips.

Halted for an hour or so. Not entirely sure why. That would be up to the exchange rather than Tesla itself as far as I know.

I didn’t know you bought a Leaf. Did you keep both the Subaru’s?

Yep, bought ours back in February as soon as the 2018's hit the lot. Traded in the wife's car, but kept mine.

I think it would be hard to have an EV-only household unless you never left town, but having one EV and one gas works great. We drive the Leaf around town and even around the Front Range, but we still have the Outback for ski days and longer road trips back home and such.

He joined a fairly crowded field for private space launches. He wasn't the only one making batteries. China also has mega battery factories.

Credit for bringing the first all electric upscale sports car to market. Although given the huge amount of torque that electric motors can generate, I'm surprised it took so long.

And what else? A bunch of adolescent fantasies?

Wonder where he is going to get the money to buy out stock holders at $420.

That is usually the sort of thing you do when your stock is in the tank. Not when you have a tiny car company with a market capitalization bigger than GM.

Outside investors.

Cool man.

Why are you surprised? You realize all the industries trying to bring batteries down, right? It was David against Goliath.

This company is in the tank. That's what some of you guys are missing. It was a nice dream but at some point your company has to actually make money.

Ha. No.

Oh my.......

At least this cuts down on his workload a bit. I seriously think he's on the edge of totally melting down and needs to take his workload down a few notches.

Absolutely. Calling the French rescue diver a chomo, smoking pot on camera, publicly talking out of his ass about taking the company private, etc.
Slow down and breathe man.

In case anyone cares, Tesla posted its biggest ever profit in Q3. Still a ways to go to erase years of losses (though you could even argue that those were largely capital investments), but that's a pretty solid indicator that the model is going to work.

Electrek: Tesla Model 3 becomes best-selling car by revenue and delivers surprisingly high gross margin.

I can't lie, I always love those. LMAO

God that is funny.

Yeah, same here. That scene can fill in for so many things.

Has anyone made a Broncos one yet?

Oh man, a RAIDERS one right now lol

Elon claims the truck will start at $49k. (Though it took them forever to offer a $35k Model 3, so take with a grain of salt.)

Interesting take, the work they have done may make it but as a company they cant survive and Musk is a bit of a crazy. Brilliant, but....

Yeah, I invested a few thousand in them not too long ago and that shit has taken a hit. I am in it for the long haul but it isn't looking good as far as the company goes.

Yeah, that article is fair. I've been saying this for a while now.
