7500 tax liability or too high of income to qualify for purchase credit though.

Model Y is the most popular EV anyway and it qualifies regardless.

But leasing is a way to get the credit on the new Model 3.

Yes, a 12 year old Camry would be cheaper. But not super comparable

No, I think leasing the car is the loophole to get around this and income limits

Malacis

You're the one that said "Twice the Price" referring to M3/MY

Zoobieman

I think the best in the same price range is the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and 6/Kia EV6
