Honestly, I'm surprised how well Autopilot works in extreme weather. I regularly use it to assist me in extremely heavy rain and spray, it can usually see the lane lines better than I can due to the side repeater cameras!. Did the car actually make any mistakes that led to you taking over for a few minutes, or was it more just things got so wild that you were a bit nervous and went ahead and took over?
@@sallymclam4455 I have been driving this every week for a couple of months. Outside of intersections I would say I drove less than 5 minutes. Total interventions maybe 5 or 6, most of which the car would have handled fine. Once the car slammed on the brakes and stopped because there was zero visibility due to a patch of fog. I couldn't see the road! It did not disengage and within a couple of seconds it moved forward and continued down the road as the fog broke.
I think their insurance is also cool, it may be like an apple care type of business model. Where everything is tailor made for Tesla vehicles. Their autonomous AI tech, is far ahead of any other car manufacture out there. I believe that if the big autos companies makers want to compete in this space, they would have to use Tesla's AI tech, giving Tesla an opportunity to out source their software. I still remain bullish on tesla and other EV stocks.

The chances of this happening are 1 in 100,000. You have to live in a specific zip code only in the Bay Area to get this 9,000 rebate. I called them. Also if you make more than $51,000 you don’t qualify. They also said if you receive the grant, the money is wired directly to the manufacturer, however Tesla would not even accept this grant from the last 30 people who received it this year. So Tesla does not accept this grant.

@@robertchow8829 Nope, for long distance running and hauling, nothing beats the torque and range of a diesel. A 300 mile range Model X got only 100 miles range pulling an empty horse trailer. Electrics have the power to haul, but it eats UP a lot of electrons.
Actually I purchased a 2018 Leaf, and a 2019 Kia Niro and I received the Texas light duty vehicle grant. It is no longer available as the latest application periods ended on January 7th 2021. The video is also incorrect it was $5000 for CNG vehicles and only $2500 for BEVs, also only vehicles sold at a dealership qualified, so no Tesla.
One of the main criteria is the car has to be sold at a dealership. No $2500 for a Tesla, or any other direct sale manufacturer. It may change the next time it comes around. As it used to be limited on leases..
While test driving Tesla the other day, I mentioned to the sales associate about the possible upcoming federal tax credit. And he said if that passes, Tesla would basically just raise the price to the same amount to cover this credit. Not sure if what he says is true, but if it is, then the tax credit would pretty much become useless.
FYI the Clean Vehicle Assistance Program as of March 2021 has a long reservation list and it takes several months to even get a document packet to start the process - and also the funds might run out before they get to your place in line. It became very time consuming to get in 2021 and there is no guarantee you will get it.
Unfortunately this video is mostly about California. I looked in Tennessee and there is nothing available here. I'm still going to buy the car later this year but it really sucks
It's alright, just Californian's get their kicks seeing a fraction if their income tax come back at them in the form of incentives to consume a certain way.
Here in Australia the government makes all sorts of noises about getting to zero emissions - but it’s all BS. The TAXES on my model S were about AU$39,000. No incentive there!
Perfect unless you live in Ohio. Zero incentives. You actually get fee’d more for driving a Tesla. No referrals, no grants, no tax credits, and registration fee (for not using gas).
Ryan, I got the CA clean EV rebate of $4500 and $800 from PG&E. The CA CLean EV rebate did take 8 months to get a check. It is the CA government and they can't seem to run any program efficiently.
Note, that CV 4 All $9500 is only for those in California... in specific zip codes... within an income limit of the federal poverty guidelines btw ... which cuts down on the odds quite a bit imho.
Just tried applying (I live In LA county) Most of these grants are for people In the bay area/ San Diego. And the CVG isn't available at the moment anymore. $1500 is still available and the tax cut is still available.
The incentives here are TRASH! I live in an apartment complex and they have chargers here that literally no one uses and then on top of that I pay a $7 common electric fee, which includes the chargers that no one uses 🤣. So the Ga Electric rebate basically is for homeowners. They need way more incentives here because I see way too many Tesla’s here for them not to have any.
@@christopherk.7094 Actually, states have good reason for these registration fees, because hybrids and electrics don't pay the gas taxes that build state and city roads. Electric cars literally get a free ride and this must change or the pro-fossil people will have a legitimate case. I like electric vehicles, but it's unsustainable to make the gas and diesel owners pay for the roads, especially as fossil-powered miles driven begins to decline. State road departments have already seen budget shortfalls just from recent improvements in gas mileage and they are obviously given no power to modify the tax rate by state legislators, who themselves run and hide when faced with the need for rate increases. As a result, fuel taxes are *far* too low in most states, so everyone depends upon the federal government pulling money from income taxes and deficits to pay for the roads that fuel taxes *aren't* paying for. State congresses constantly *pray* for federal funds to make up for their own unwillingness to tax drivers, yet then voters blame the federal government for spending more money. Charging stations could charge a per-kWh "road tax", just like gas stations do per-gallon, but there's no practical way to levy this fee from people who charge their vehicles at home. Even if electric utilities began to charge fees based on the power going to your vehicles, which would be costly and impractical to meter, you could still charge from solar panels and avoid road taxes. The only practical solution thus far has been to charge high registration fees, but even here this can be unfair as these fees should be based on miles actually driven, which would require that a state employee look at your odometer each year. That seems unlikely.
In my state we get nothing, I live in Crook County, Illinois. Registration fees for the ‘EL” plates previously cost $17.50 per year and were renewable every two years. Now they are charging $251 Per year.
Glad I'm a Californian...this was immensely helpful as it seems 2 of my neighbors must've known I want a Tesla and bought them within 6 months of each other. 😒 I pulled up last week and saw my neighbor getting out of their new TM3 with the same...everything I wanted. My response to my wife? "Look at this s***! They bought one too!?" My wife's response? "So, what are you gonna do about it?" I now know what to do.
@@davidtorres8426 just one unfortunately. Hopefully when I buy the $7500 or $10000 rebate will be there. If not, I’m still looking forward to getting the Model 3
Florida is one of a few states that doesn't have a state income tax, so it would make sense that they wouldn't offer the kind of rebates available in California
@@DavidElg I'm not sure if there is a correlation between energy rebates and state tax (or lack of). I think that Southern politicians are heavily tied to oil/gas companies that fund their campaigns- won't see too many EV friendly laws.
Remember those most likely will be tax incentive if it get passed at all, meaning you have to pay that much in tax to take full advantage of it. I rather have them use that money to develop EV infrastructure instead Because EVs prices are about to be lower soon when econobox car maker move to EVs, Toyota will being releasing there EVs with Tesla help, not to mention Nissan, Honda, Mazda,... For people just want a cheap EVs to save gas and don't need 0-60 in 3s
The biggest incentives for me personally are the fact this is an American built ev , it has a 100 % veagan interior , and because I live in Kansas a duel motor. I love my 2021 Tesla model Y . Thank you Elan musk for a much cleaner future 🙏
Great video! Interesting to learn what the incentives are in the US. I am watching from Germany. Here you can get 9000, - € for a Model 3 SR+ and 900, - € for a home charging station from the federal government. This caused a bit of a boom with electric vehicles and I just ordered my Model 3 too.
Yeah this video is a load of crap. 10K fed rebates aren’t happening either. They are already listed for 7K at best and only for those with 30K or less in income.
We charge our two Tesla's off our solar PV equipped roof and have done so for 8+ years. No fossil fuel sourced energy here. Last year we produced 350% of our electricity needs off our roof and exported the excess back to grid for others to use.
You can claim an electric vehicle federal tax credit as long as you purchased the new vehicle in the year that the tax credit is active. So if a new federal tax credit is passed in 2021, you can claim that credit in your 2021 tax return. If this turns out to truly be a “point of sale” incentive then that’s completely different. A “point of sale” incentive would have a much larger impact on sales than the tax credits IMO.
There is an issue with home solar as a power source for EVs. If someone commutes to work, there is a concentration of cars and that exceeds the space available for solar power where it's parked. If you're charging at home after a commute, you need battery storage to run your house in addition to the power consumed for both directions of your commute. If your commute is 30 miles each way, then that's 15 kWh of batteries just for the car plus whatever your home really uses. If you drive a lot, that can be 60kWh or more of storage. Sunwatts charges $18,500 for a 56kWh pack that would probably need to be replaced in 8 years. Battery production needs to get to $100/kWh and retail needs to get below $200/kWh before it'll make sense at home for overnight car charging use.
Somewhat misleading. The Texas rebate is exclusive to vehicles sold in Texas, which means sold by a dealership, which means it excludes Tesla or any other EV stations with direct sales.
In Australia we have nothing. And if you live in the State of Victoria, you not only get nothing, you also get a 2.5c/km tax for having the temerity to drive an electric vehicles and not contribute your fair share to fuel tax and air pollution.
It is worse in U.K. Tesla prices are significantly higher than in USA with incentives dropped to £2500. Although the running costs are lower, the use of crazily expensive materials means that the insurance cost can easily wipe out any cost savings. I do not expect the prices to come down until there are serious lower cost competitors.
Let's be clear about this: You're NEVER going to get the government or utility companies to pay that much money for your new car. These subsidies were put in place to get early adopters to buy electric cars and to get the initial stages of the necessary infrastructure built. Those state subsidies (ESPECIALLY in a state as broke as California) are quickly evaporating. On top of that, more states are finding that their fuel tax revenues are (or will be) drying up since electric cars don't contribute to those fuel taxes. In Georgia, you actually pay MORE to register an EV.
As a consumer I think it’s awesome that they give you a tax credit. As a citizen’s, a tax credit shouldn’t be offered since the US can’t really afford it and if you don’t have the money for it then you shouldn’t really buy it
What we really need are kits to replace ice engines in common cars. That way the current vehicle is recycled, and no new mining is required for steel, aluminum, etc. If the government really wants to support green energy, these incentives should also cover ice to ev conversions. Companies that do this professionally should do the conversions.
Not sure when the research was conducted, but at the time this video was published, the Texas information is already outdated, " The latest application period has ended. Applications may no longer be submitted for funding consideration".
The application period ended on Jan 7, 2020. Also, the $5k was only for CNG vehicles of which 10 were issued. For BEVs there was 1300ish at $2500 each.
No it isn't. It's sold for 41000€ with the service fee. The manufacturer rebate is already included in that price. You can then apply for the 6000€ BAFA government rebate, getting a final price of 35000€ or $41500.
Around 2:00, you mentioned that burning coal has less impact than gasoline which is not true. I think what you wanted to say is using electricity from coal to power an electric car has less impact than burning gasoline in an ICE vehicle because they are not energy efficient.
In Europe (this is outside USA) many countries 80% of electricity is produced via renewable e.g. Wind (the don't freeze up when it is cold as they are well designed) solar and nuclear. Norway 100% via hydroelectric. And most of Europe is heading to 100%renewable
I noticed that you mentioned Connecticut having rebates for ev vehicles but what you fail to realize, if you look at the fine print this it only applies to vehicles that are aold by a license dealership in Connecticut. And as of today Tesla is not allowed to sell their cars in Connecticut. In fact I had to go to New York to purchase my vehicle so any incentives that Connecticut has does not apply to me because it was not purchased in Connecticut.
The entire program of incentives/rebates is social engineering. It requires all non electric vehicle owners to subsidize EV owners. It is about as fair as expecting me to pay off the college loans for someone else when I was not the person who signed their loan contract. EVs should be able to compete on a level playing field with other modes of transport. Incidentally, I plan to purchase a Model 3 when they are delivered with the 4680 battery.
@@dksharron You are spot on about the price increases. Tesla uses high demand to continue raising prices. I started pricing a Model Y. When the cost hit 60K I quit. Instead I bought a tricked out Honda for 30K. The 30K I did not spend for a new car will buy fuel for a long time. Annual interest on a 30 k loan would approach $1, 500. I can buy fuel for a very long time for that much $. It is a certainty that prices will fall and tech will improve. Spontaneous combustion and finicky charge/discharge of lithium nickel batteries will be eliminated with new battery chemistries. Longer ranges are coming, 1,000 km is becoming the new norm. Waiting will certainly have it's benefits.
@@kwatt-engineer796 Yes, I am not against electric vehicles, I am against subsidies, and if there is a total of 30% 40% 50% of various subsidies on a $40,000 vehicle, that vehicle will become a $50,000 or more. The one scenario he made in the video was near 100% subsidies. Well, it is quite simple for Tesla to draw this out on supply demand chart and raise prices a lot. Plus.... Gasoline taxes ( I am from CA where it was about 50% years ago, I do not know now) a part of this tax goes to maintaining roads. So, electric cars are using the roads and not being taxed/paying for the usage. That needs to change too. USA: Forty percent of our electricity generation comes from coal, twenty percent from natural gas, twenty percent from nuclear and twenty percent from renewables. Every country is different. China has universities for renewables, and this is because it does not want to be living off imported oil. It does import a lot of coal, and it is trying to get off if it. It wants the world to be dependent on China, not China dependent on the world. Hell, we could simply burn gasoline instead of coal or natural gas in generators to make electricity and call it a day.
The current $7,500 federal credit is a nonrefundable tax credit, but I'm hoping a new one would be at the point of sale. The problem with tax credits is that if you don't owe at least $7,500 in taxes in a year, you won't get the full credit, so I'm not sure if people would qualify for all the income restricted programs while also qualifying for a federal tax credit.
It's unfortunate to be living in Oklahoma and looking at getting a Tesla (or any other EV) since the only rebate we'd get here is the federal tax credit for non-Tesla or GM. No other state or electric company incentives whatsoever.
Never going back to ICE for a daily. Here in Sweden we got 8200$ off if u but a green car ;) But a Standard+ is still 60 000$ high tax and we have "free" insurance the 3 first years. And u get ~900$ off for wallbox and installation. To own a M3LR cost 500$/m + electric an average salary is around 3000$ but for the majority of Tesla owners 4000+.
Clean Vehicle Grants is no longer accepting applications. They've given out all the money they have to give out. FYI The other "Grants" are very specific and even thought the program says "for all" it's really targeted to lower income folks with older cars to trade in.
The Federal Incentive is currently vaporware but the real question is would only apply to sales after it is enacted, or be retroactive for the year? I know you can't predict this.
2:00 I think Evs are the future but you should mention how the production of batteries also put a lot of co2 in the atmosphere. Like a lot. Edit: spelling
@@misaelortega653 it doesn't really matter if any one person owns it long enough so long as its able to stay on the road. The important factor is really lifetime of the vehicle, not personal ownership. I know that may sound a bit pedantic, but people are constantly buying new vehicles. Used vehicles are an important market segment for lower income individuals, and for many, they are going to rely on affordable used electrics to ever be able to own an electric at all. My understanding is that most EVs start offsetting CO2 output around the 100k miles mark. Pretty much all modern cars, including EVs, should have a foreseeable lifespan of a few hundred thousand miles, with EVs being estimated higher since there are so many fewer parts to worry about. Beyond that, I am very interested in seeing what use we put "retired" batteries to. Even if you retire a tesla battery at 80% capacity, you coiuld turn it into the equivalent of 2-3 brand new power walls (based on todayu's numbers, of course) at a very minimal additional co2 expenditure (thinking transport, installation, etc). Paired with solar, this could legitimately then turn a house into a completely self sustaining system, in terms of electricity.
Everyone needs to watch the video on how the minerals are harvested from the earth 🌎 to make the batteries and what is done when the battery is done with usage.
OEM companies and their dealer networks might also raise prices on EVs as the Fed incentive hits. Reserving a Tesla now that is not currently available is one way to lock in pre incentive prices. Importantly if you change your mind or see a better deal, the cost of the option is only $100...
Most people won’t qualify I’ve tried and many other people as well they don’t mention the details. Most will qualify for for about 5700 total off this vehicle
Great videos Ryan! Keep them coming 😄. Also can you make a video on the upcoming competition for Tesla. Such as the new Cadillac and other upcoming cars.
@@Laughingghawe I agree but it would be great to just have some extra knowledge on the market. I just ordered the new model Y* because there is no other electric car that attracts me at the moment and I don’t think there will be for sometime.
@@MinhNgo-yf4qm I guess you’re right about that but I was just suggesting Ryan to make a video on other electric cars too just to diversify his content. Also it was a model Y* sorry for the mistake : )
The odd rationale is PHEV has a $7500 tax rebate for ICE with a small battery that last 17 miles while ( or 40 mile mpg) But EV such as GM/Tesla don't get any from the fed currently. Who's behind the green policy? What is the rationale for promoting Hyper / ICE ? It's producing smogs with $7500 tax rebate?
Meanwhile in the UK, the government suddenly changed the rules last month with no warning to reduce the incentive and make it only apply at all to cars under £30,000 - so no Teslas at all :/ (and I'm pretty sure there are no other grants etc)
The question of depleted batteries & user serviceable parts on Tesla’s aren’t being addressed by the EV space. Once those two issues get resolved, more so the first, EVs will make more sense. Guess you could say another which is the charging stations & charging time.
Here in the UK, we get a working £3500 subsidy off any new BEV + £350 off the price of a home charger. How I wish I was living in California. My circumstances would definitely put me in the category mentioned. Instead, I live in the UK where the government talk the talk but don't walk the walk! We are supposedly heading towards a net zero carbon future, but with hardly any incentives to get us there (the grant has actually been cut twice in the last 2 or 3 years!).
CVAP Grant is a great option, but it recently slowed down even more. They are doing a reservation list, basically new grants are processed as other recipients return the grant or miss their deadlines.
I live in California but still don’t qualify for these programs as the income limit is quite low. If your married and your spouse also works you might as well forget about it.
I live in California, based on my income I don't qualify for the incentives. I also sure as hell can't afford a Tesla without the incentives. Basically, even living here, things don't pan out.
All you have to do is live in CA or NJ a tradeoff that isn't worth it to me. People continuing to bank on this phantom 10K federal incentive is actually hurting Tesla sales.
April 9, 2021: Clean Vehicle Grant in California is fully subscribed for 2021, so the car grant and the charging station grants are gone. The price of the M3 without any extras increased to 38,490. You have also conveniently forgotten Tax and License, which is about $3600 in one of the lower tax counties (San Joaquin) of 7.75%. But to counter that, there are the county-level rebate programs like San Joaquin Air Quality with is $3000 (stackable) for pure EVs.
I appreciate the idea behind this, but there is no scenario in which all of these things can be stacked. I advocate for EVs in my community in Los Angeles, and even with a lot of incentives, it's nearly impossible to be eligible for more than just a couple of these programs. Here's hoping the federal incentives come through, but I'm not nearly as optimistic as you.
California clean vehicle grants are currently waitlisted to no acceptance of new applications. Rebates for ca are running low and I foresee soon a waitlist to a shutdown of the program
As Teslas and EVs become so much more affordable, I don't think the legacy automakers will sit back and allow government subsidies to make them cheaper than used 5 year old ICE vehicles. And frankly at that point, they won't really *need* subsidies anymore anyway. I say this as someone who would definitely benefit from said subsidies since that would put them within my price range. I just think at this point, affordable EVs are already within reach and they don't need these kinds of programs anymore. They are quickly reaching the point where they can complete on both their merits and their value. And it's an amazing thing to see.
same, its only california basically where you can do this... which is a VERY expensive place and extremley high taxes, so you pay it in taxes and cost of living.

@@alanmay7929 Cool. I didn't ask though.
Texas actually has NO rebates available except from electric companies. The 5k$ one you had mentioned had phased out in 2015.
Amazingly, California is going broke giving out these incentives.
Actually I purchased a 2018 Leaf, and a 2019 Kia Niro and I received the Texas light duty vehicle grant. It is no longer available as the latest application periods ended on January 7th 2021.
The video is also incorrect it was $5000 for CNG vehicles and only $2500 for BEVs, also only vehicles sold at a dealership qualified, so no Tesla.
My 1st EV is the 2019 Model 3, and my next one will be a Tesla too. Will never go back to ICE.
Unless there's something I'm missing, Texas stopped offering that $5000 light-duty incentive after January 7th.
You can re-apply until September of 2021. There is a time limit per year to apply

One of the main criteria is the car has to be sold at a dealership. No $2500 for a Tesla, or any other direct sale manufacturer. It may change the next time it comes around. As it used to be limited on leases..

While test driving Tesla the other day, I mentioned to the sales associate about the possible upcoming federal tax credit. And he said if that passes, Tesla would basically just raise the price to the same amount to cover this credit. Not sure if what he says is true, but if it is, then the tax credit would pretty much become useless.
I think so too.
They would raise the price by about 5k.
Or the salesperson said that so you would buy today instead of waiting for the rebate. Most likely, the price goes up a bit, but not the full amount.
FYI the Clean Vehicle Assistance Program as of March 2021 has a long reservation list and it takes several months to even get a document packet to start the process - and also the funds might run out before they get to your place in line. It became very time consuming to get in 2021 and there is no guarantee you will get it.
Unfortunately this video is mostly about California. I looked in Tennessee and there is nothing available here. I'm still going to buy the car later this year but it really sucks
Same here. I live in Washington, and there's barely any incentive. Oregon has more incentive than we do.
It's alright, just Californian's get their kicks seeing a fraction if their income tax come back at them in the form of incentives to consume a certain way.
Hold off until we get a clear conformation of EV rebates being reintroduced
Most of these incentives are for low income
Ryan, you forgot NJ doesn’t charge Sales Tax for BEVs.

Why should there be incentives on luxury cars? You clearly have the money. Just make ice cars more expensive.
Well said about EV having a path to sustainability
The CVA Program is currently closed to new applicants.
That is cyclical, they run out of funding and have to pause until they get new funding. I believe you can still apply, you just have to wait longer
You can’t apply until they receive the new funding unfortunately
Perfect unless you live in Ohio. Zero incentives. You actually get fee’d more for driving a Tesla. No referrals, no grants, no tax credits, and registration fee (for not using gas).

Ryan, I got the CA clean EV rebate of $4500 and $800 from PG&E. The CA CLean EV rebate did take 8 months to get a check. It is the CA government and they can't seem to run any program efficiently.
Mine took40 days
Note, that CV 4 All $9500 is only for those in California... in specific zip codes... within an income limit of the federal poverty guidelines btw ... which cuts down on the odds quite a bit imho.
Just tried applying (I live In LA county) Most of these grants are for people In the bay area/ San Diego. And the CVG isn't available at the moment anymore. $1500 is still available and the tax cut is still available.
In Georgia you pay extra to register an EV, much less get any incentives.
The incentives here are TRASH! I live in an apartment complex and they have chargers here that literally no one uses and then on top of that I pay a $7 common electric fee, which includes the chargers that no one uses 🤣. So the Ga Electric rebate basically is for homeowners. They need way more incentives here because I see way too many Tesla’s here for them not to have any.
Starting this year, State of Washington auto registration is a lot higher for hybrids and plug-ins................
@@keitha.9788 that’s crazy, especially when there’s no reason for the price hike!
Same for Arkansas, an extra 200 dollars out the gate.
@@christopherk.7094 Actually, states have good reason for these registration fees, because hybrids and electrics don't pay the gas taxes that build state and city roads. Electric cars literally get a free ride and this must change or the pro-fossil people will have a legitimate case.
I like electric vehicles, but it's unsustainable to make the gas and diesel owners pay for the roads, especially as fossil-powered miles driven begins to decline. State road departments have already seen budget shortfalls just from recent improvements in gas mileage and they are obviously given no power to modify the tax rate by state legislators, who themselves run and hide when faced with the need for rate increases.
As a result, fuel taxes are *far* too low in most states, so everyone depends upon the federal government pulling money from income taxes and deficits to pay for the roads that fuel taxes *aren't* paying for. State congresses constantly *pray* for federal funds to make up for their own unwillingness to tax drivers, yet then voters blame the federal government for spending more money.
Charging stations could charge a per-kWh "road tax", just like gas stations do per-gallon, but there's no practical way to levy this fee from people who charge their vehicles at home. Even if electric utilities began to charge fees based on the power going to your vehicles, which would be costly and impractical to meter, you could still charge from solar panels and avoid road taxes.
The only practical solution thus far has been to charge high registration fees, but even here this can be unfair as these fees should be based on miles actually driven, which would require that a state employee look at your odometer each year. That seems unlikely.
In my state we get nothing, I live in Crook County, Illinois. Registration fees for the ‘EL” plates previously cost $17.50 per year and were renewable every two years. Now they are charging $251 Per year.
Crook county. Lol 🤣
Good ole Illinois... right. 👍🏾😸
Wait, what cost $251 that used to cost $17?
Glad I'm a Californian...this was immensely helpful as it seems 2 of my neighbors must've known I want a Tesla and bought them within 6 months of each other. 😒

@@davidtorres8426 just one unfortunately. Hopefully when I buy the $7500 or $10000 rebate will be there. If not, I’m still looking forward to getting the Model 3
Florida is one of a few states that doesn't have a state income tax, so it would make sense that they wouldn't offer the kind of rebates available in California
@@DavidElg I'm not sure if there is a correlation between energy rebates and state tax (or lack of). I think that Southern politicians are heavily tied to oil/gas companies that fund their campaigns- won't see too many EV friendly laws.
Wish they had these level of incentives in Mexico, I’d be picking mine up in a flash :(
they do...drive a paid off car...until electric = price of gas and taxes/insurance? just a novelty
They do have these incentives in Mexico. Unfortunately, the politicians pocket the money first ;(
Teslas don’t qualify for any state incentives in Texas.
Any idea on when the bill would pass which can take the $10k off the sticker price?
Remember those most likely will be tax incentive if it get passed at all, meaning you have to pay that much in tax to take full advantage of it.
I rather have them use that money to develop EV infrastructure instead
Because EVs prices are about to be lower soon when econobox car maker move to EVs, Toyota will being releasing there EVs with Tesla help, not to mention Nissan, Honda, Mazda,... For people just want a cheap EVs to save gas and don't need 0-60 in 3s

Nope
@@MinhNgo-yf4qm lol let me believe 😂😂
Nope, not happening. Even if you could, you'd have to owe more taxes than the tax credit.
@@iPierre It's because the tax credits won't be retroactive. So if you purchase before it takes effect, then you miss out.
I think tax credit is only if you owe/have to pay back to qualify.
Great video! Interesting to learn what the incentives are in the US. I am watching from Germany. Here you can get 9000, - € for a Model 3 SR+ and 900, - € for a home charging station from the federal government. This caused a bit of a boom with electric vehicles and I just ordered my Model 3 too.

Ryan, Texas is no longer accepting applications for their grant program.
i was just going to ask
Guess Texas doesn’t offer shit right now
Also it wasn't $5k for a BEV, that amount was for CNG vehicles. $2500 for a BEV. The last period ended on Jan 7, 2021.
What stops people from buying in CA, collecting all rebates and then selling in another state?
Program rules prohibit selling within a certain timeframe
California sales and registration tax... not worth it
I would legit cry if they drop the price! I want a Model 3 so badly! waiting for the right time to buy it.
Same
You can claim an electric vehicle federal tax credit as long as you purchased the new vehicle in the year that the tax credit is active. So if a new federal tax credit is passed in 2021, you can claim that credit in your 2021 tax return. If this turns out to truly be a “point of sale” incentive then that’s completely different. A “point of sale” incentive would have a much larger impact on sales than the tax credits IMO.
You do not talk enough about the emissions from creating OR dismanteling the batteries.
@@eduardovargas1133 thats interesting! Do you have some sources on that?
There is an issue with home solar as a power source for EVs. If someone commutes to work, there is a concentration of cars and that exceeds the space available for solar power where it's parked. If you're charging at home after a commute, you need battery storage to run your house in addition to the power consumed for both directions of your commute. If your commute is 30 miles each way, then that's 15 kWh of batteries just for the car plus whatever your home really uses. If you drive a lot, that can be 60kWh or more of storage. Sunwatts charges $18,500 for a 56kWh pack that would probably need to be replaced in 8 years. Battery production needs to get to $100/kWh and retail needs to get below $200/kWh before it'll make sense at home for overnight car charging use.
Somewhat misleading. The Texas rebate is exclusive to vehicles sold in Texas, which means sold by a dealership, which means it excludes Tesla or any other EV stations with direct sales.
In Australia we have nothing. And if you live in the State of Victoria, you not only get nothing, you also get a 2.5c/km tax for having the temerity to drive an electric vehicles and not contribute your fair share to fuel tax and air pollution.
It is worse in U.K. Tesla prices are significantly higher than in USA with incentives dropped to £2500.
Although the running costs are lower, the use of crazily expensive materials means that the insurance cost can easily wipe out any cost savings.
I do not expect the prices to come down until there are serious lower cost competitors.
Let's be clear about this: You're NEVER going to get the government or utility companies to pay that much money for your new car. These subsidies were put in place to get early adopters to buy electric cars and to get the initial stages of the necessary infrastructure built. Those state subsidies (ESPECIALLY in a state as broke as California) are quickly evaporating. On top of that, more states are finding that their fuel tax revenues are (or will be) drying up since electric cars don't contribute to those fuel taxes. In Georgia, you actually pay MORE to register an EV.
I live in Az and they don't give us anything except for a giant break on registation.
Same in jersey except their is no sales tax
We don’t get any breaks? I am here in Peoria, AZ.
I’m in Phx AZ as well
As a consumer I think it’s awesome that they give you a tax credit. As a citizen’s, a tax credit shouldn’t be offered since the US can’t really afford it and if you don’t have the money for it then you shouldn’t really buy it
What we really need are kits to replace ice engines in common cars. That way the current vehicle is recycled, and no new mining is required for steel, aluminum, etc. If the government really wants to support green energy, these incentives should also cover ice to ev conversions. Companies that do this professionally should do the conversions.
Have you relizedyet with the government it's not about the actual environment, it's always about profit?
Not sure when the research was conducted, but at the time this video was published, the Texas information is already outdated, " The latest application period has ended. Applications may no longer be submitted for funding consideration".
The application period ended on Jan 7, 2020. Also, the $5k was only for CNG vehicles of which 10 were issued. For BEVs there was 1300ish at $2500 each.
There's no way states would continue to eat into their own budget when the fed would give out 10k.
NY has a $2k rebate which is cool that I didn't know about until you said something
it came off the price when I ordered last week. I thought it was a tax rebate
Nice this is all in California how about you mention that at the start of the video
people think the world revolves around california
NJ does not offer 5000$ rebate anymore. 4000$+1500$ rebate is for municipal fleet only.

No it isn't. It's sold for 41000€ with the service fee. The manufacturer rebate is already included in that price. You can then apply for the 6000€ BAFA government rebate, getting a final price of 35000€ or $41500.
@@Psi-Storm no the basic model 3 cost 39.000 € but with BAFA its cost 30.000€
Around 2:00, you mentioned that burning coal has less impact than gasoline which is not true.
I think what you wanted to say is using electricity from coal to power an electric car has less impact than burning gasoline in an ICE vehicle because they are not energy efficient.
In Europe (this is outside USA) many countries 80% of electricity is produced via renewable e.g. Wind (the don't freeze up when it is cold as they are well designed) solar and nuclear. Norway 100% via hydroelectric. And most of Europe is heading to 100%renewable
I noticed that you mentioned Connecticut having rebates for ev vehicles but what you fail to realize, if you look at the fine print this it only applies to vehicles that are aold by a license dealership in Connecticut. And as of today Tesla is not allowed to sell their cars in Connecticut. In fact I had to go to New York to purchase my vehicle so any incentives that Connecticut has does not apply to me because it was not purchased in Connecticut.
The entire program of incentives/rebates is social engineering. It requires all non electric vehicle owners to subsidize EV owners. It is about as fair as expecting me to pay off the college loans for someone else when I was not the person who signed their loan contract. EVs should be able to compete on a level playing field with other modes of transport. Incidentally, I plan to purchase a Model 3 when they are delivered with the 4680 battery.
And no doubt electric vehicle manufacturers will increase their prices accordingly.
@@dksharron You are spot on about the price increases. Tesla uses high demand to continue raising prices. I started pricing a Model Y. When the cost hit 60K I quit. Instead I bought a tricked out Honda for 30K. The 30K I did not spend for a new car will buy fuel for a long time. Annual interest on a 30 k loan would approach $1, 500. I can buy fuel for a very long time for that much $. It is a certainty that prices will fall and tech will improve. Spontaneous combustion and finicky charge/discharge of lithium nickel batteries will be eliminated with new battery chemistries. Longer ranges are coming, 1,000 km is becoming the new norm. Waiting will certainly have it's benefits.
@@kwatt-engineer796 Yes, I am not against electric vehicles, I am against subsidies, and if there is a total of 30% 40% 50% of various subsidies on a $40,000 vehicle, that vehicle will become a $50,000 or more.
The one scenario he made in the video was near 100% subsidies. Well, it is quite simple for Tesla to draw this out on supply demand chart and raise prices a lot.
Plus.... Gasoline taxes ( I am from CA where it was about 50% years ago, I do not know now) a part of this tax goes to maintaining roads. So, electric cars are using the roads and not being taxed/paying for the usage. That needs to change too.
USA: Forty percent of our electricity generation comes from coal, twenty percent from natural gas, twenty percent from nuclear and twenty percent from renewables.
Every country is different. China has universities for renewables, and this is because it does not want to be living off imported oil. It does import a lot of coal, and it is trying to get off if it. It wants the world to be dependent on China, not China dependent on the world.
Hell, we could simply burn gasoline instead of coal or natural gas in generators to make electricity and call it a day.
Couldn’t you realistically purchase a Tesla and order it in California to use all the grants and rebates and then just drive it home in another state?
The current $7,500 federal credit is a nonrefundable tax credit, but I'm hoping a new one would be at the point of sale. The problem with tax credits is that if you don't owe at least $7,500 in taxes in a year, you won't get the full credit, so I'm not sure if people would qualify for all the income restricted programs while also qualifying for a federal tax credit.
Thanks Ryan! Another great video with beneficial content!
I agree Aaron
It would be nice if you were to go over the income requirements to qualify for these incentives....🤔🤔
It varies state by state so check out the linked web sites. 3rd in the list has the info you want, some states cap the car price instead of income.
Someone didn’t watch the video. He mentions it varies by state around the halfway mark.
It's unfortunate to be living in Oklahoma and looking at getting a Tesla (or any other EV) since the only rebate we'd get here is the federal tax credit for non-Tesla or GM. No other state or electric company incentives whatsoever.

To own a M3LR cost 500$/m + electric an average salary is around 3000$ but for the majority of Tesla owners 4000+.
Clean Vehicle Grants is no longer accepting applications. They've given out all the money they have to give out. FYI
The other "Grants" are very specific and even thought the program says "for all" it's really targeted to lower income folks with older cars to trade in.

The Federal Incentive is currently vaporware but the real question is would only apply to sales after it is enacted, or be retroactive for the year? I know you can't predict this.

2:00 I think Evs are the future but you should mention how the production of batteries also put a lot of co2 in the atmosphere. Like a lot.
Edit: spelling
Yes, slightly more CO2 than a horse. I see your point.
yes but less than co2 output in car production (overall plus lifetime) compared to Gas Car
@@raudra07 yes eventually the EV will produce less co2 than an ICE car if you own it for long enough
@@misaelortega653 it doesn't really matter if any one person owns it long enough so long as its able to stay on the road. The important factor is really lifetime of the vehicle, not personal ownership.
I know that may sound a bit pedantic, but people are constantly buying new vehicles. Used vehicles are an important market segment for lower income individuals, and for many, they are going to rely on affordable used electrics to ever be able to own an electric at all.
My understanding is that most EVs start offsetting CO2 output around the 100k miles mark. Pretty much all modern cars, including EVs, should have a foreseeable lifespan of a few hundred thousand miles, with EVs being estimated higher since there are so many fewer parts to worry about.
Beyond that, I am very interested in seeing what use we put "retired" batteries to. Even if you retire a tesla battery at 80% capacity, you coiuld turn it into the equivalent of 2-3 brand new power walls (based on todayu's numbers, of course) at a very minimal additional co2 expenditure (thinking transport, installation, etc). Paired with solar, this could legitimately then turn a house into a completely self sustaining system, in terms of electricity.
Everyone needs to watch the video on how the minerals are harvested from the earth 🌎 to make the batteries and what is done when the battery is done with usage.
In Alabama, our incentive is to pay an extra $200/yr for registration to make up for lost gas tax revenue. We do have $.09/kwhr electricity.
Ryan! You about to bop 100k...
Last week he had like 28,000 subs
Thanks for reminding me! Just subscribed. I’ve been watching his videos for a month I didn’t realize I wasn’t subscribed lol.
Veryy closeeee
Its far better to burn fuel for generating electricity than individually burning fuel for each vehicle which also have least efficiency.
OEM companies and their dealer networks might also raise prices on EVs as the Fed incentive hits.
Reserving a Tesla now that is not currently available is one way to lock in pre incentive prices. Importantly if you change your mind or see a better deal, the cost of the option is only $100...
Most people won’t qualify I’ve tried and many other people as well they don’t mention the details. Most will qualify for for about 5700 total off this vehicle

The odd rationale is PHEV has a $7500 tax rebate for ICE with a small battery that last 17 miles while ( or 40 mile mpg) But EV such as GM/Tesla don't get any from the fed currently. Who's behind the green policy? What is the rationale for promoting Hyper / ICE ? It's producing smogs with $7500 tax rebate?
Meanwhile in the UK, the government suddenly changed the rules last month with no warning to reduce the incentive and make it only apply at all to cars under £30,000 - so no Teslas at all :/ (and I'm pretty sure there are no other grants etc)
The question of depleted batteries & user serviceable parts on Tesla’s aren’t being addressed by the EV space. Once those two issues get resolved, more so the first, EVs will make more sense. Guess you could say another which is the charging stations & charging time.
Here in the UK, we get a working £3500 subsidy off any new BEV + £350 off the price of a home charger. How I wish I was living in California. My circumstances would definitely put me in the category mentioned. Instead, I live in the UK where the government talk the talk but don't walk the walk! We are supposedly heading towards a net zero carbon future, but with hardly any incentives to get us there (the grant has actually been cut twice in the last 2 or 3 years!).
CVAP Grant is a great option, but it recently slowed down even more. They are doing a reservation list, basically new grants are processed as other recipients return the grant or miss their deadlines.
So basically I have to live in California if i ever hope to not pay hella cash for a Tesla 😂

All you have to do is live in CA or NJ a tradeoff that isn't worth it to me. People continuing to bank on this phantom 10K federal incentive is actually hurting Tesla sales.
April 9, 2021: Clean Vehicle Grant in California is fully subscribed for 2021, so the car grant and the charging station grants are gone. The price of the M3 without any extras increased to 38,490. You have also conveniently forgotten Tax and License, which is about $3600 in one of the lower tax counties (San Joaquin) of 7.75%.
But to counter that, there are the county-level rebate programs like San Joaquin Air Quality with is $3000 (stackable) for pure EVs.
Does all of these works if you order one on their website? Or does it only work if you go to a dealer and get the car?
I appreciate the idea behind this, but there is no scenario in which all of these things can be stacked. I advocate for EVs in my community in Los Angeles, and even with a lot of incentives, it's nearly impossible to be eligible for more than just a couple of these programs. Here's hoping the federal incentives come through, but I'm not nearly as optimistic as you.
California clean vehicle grants are currently waitlisted to no acceptance of new applications. Rebates for ca are running low and I foresee soon a waitlist to a shutdown of the program
This is all great info man. Thanks for the high quality video.
This guy is misleading to sell the cars. Best savings you will get is avg. 3400...
And I live in Australia where we get nothing at all and some states are adding an EV tax to try stop people buying evs. Nice right
Teslas are NOT eligible for rebates in Texas. Only for vehicles sold in dealers.
Imagine if that government money went to the poor instead of people buying Teslas....
As Teslas and EVs become so much more affordable, I don't think the legacy automakers will sit back and allow government subsidies to make them cheaper than used 5 year old ICE vehicles. And frankly at that point, they won't really *need* subsidies anymore anyway. I say this as someone who would definitely benefit from said subsidies since that would put them within my price range. I just think at this point, affordable EVs are already within reach and they don't need these kinds of programs anymore. They are quickly reaching the point where they can complete on both their merits and their value. And it's an amazing thing to see.
You guys are so lucky. In the uk the insensitive is £0
