Tesla Model 3 will cost from $ 22100, taking into account tax deductions

Presumptive appearance of the Tesla Model 3, according to experts

In September 2015, Ilon Mask announced a new economical car on Tesla Model 3 electric drive at a record low price of $ 35,000. The car will be shown on March 31 (now there are not even photos), then they will begin to accept pre-orders, and real deliveries will begin in the second half of 2017 .

Of course, first, sales will begin in the United States. Interestingly, in the United States operates several programs of tax deductions for buyers of environmentally friendly cars. There is a federal program, and there are programs of individual states. With these deductions, the cost of a car for an American turns out quite funny .

Residents of different states will pay different prices. Most of all lucky residents of Louisiana: they have the amount of deductions such that theoretically Tesla Model 3 could cost as little as $ 22,100.

The standard federal deduction for all is $ 7,500. In most states, there is an additional local $ 2,500 deduction. That is, Tesla Model 3 for residents of many states will cost only $ 25,000.

Of course, in order to turn $ 35,000 into $ 25,000, you need to earn a lot, so that at the end of the year taxes will be at least $ 10,000. That is, you need to earn around $ 4,000 per month . If you earn less, then just do not pay any taxes at the end of the year, but technically the car will cost more. One way or another, but tax deductions significantly reduce the final cost.

Tesla Model 3 will not be the only cheap electric car on the market. In January, at CES, Chevrolet showed the concept of a future Chevy Bolt model, for which the maximum course distance of 320 km (200 miles) from one charge was announced at a price of $ 37,500 without taking into account tax benefits. In theory, it will be only a couple of thousand more than "Tesla".

They promised that the Chevy Bolt will be available at the end of 2016. But it looks, of course, not as sexy as the renders of the Tesla Model 3, although also nothing.
