Tesla Tax Credits and all other Incentives in the USA.

For TESLA owners,

How to apply every benefits offered for California residents.

California residents:

Federal credit
A tax credit is available for the purchase of a new qualified PEV that draws propulsion using a traction battery that has at least five kilowatt-hours (kWh) of capacity, uses an external source of energy to recharge the battery, has a gross vehicle weight rating of up to 14,000 pounds, and meets specified emission standards. The minimum credit amount is $2,500, and the credit may be up to $7,500, based on each vehicle’s traction battery capacity and the gross vehicle weight rating. The credit will begin to be phased out for each manufacturer in the second quarter following the calendar quarter in which a minimum of 200,000 qualified PEVs have been sold by that manufacturer for use in the United States. This tax credit applies to vehicles acquired after December 31, 2009. For more information, including qualifying vehicles and sales by manufacturer, see the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) PEV Credit website. Also refer to IRS Form 8936, which is available via the IRS Forms and Publications website.

Plug-In Hybrid and Zero Emission Light-Duty Vehicle Rebates

Type: State Incentives
Jurisdiction: CA
The Clean Vehicle Rebate Project (CVRP) offers rebates for the purchase or lease of qualified vehicles. Qualified vehicles are light-duty zero emission vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) the California Air Resources Board (ARB) has approved or certified. Rebates are available on a first-come, first-served basis to individuals, business owners, and government entities in California that purchase or lease new eligible vehicles. Manufacturers must apply to ARB to have their vehicles included in the CVRP.For vehicles purchased on or after March 29, 2016, eligibility for the rebate for individuals is based on gross annual income, as stated on the individual’s federal tax return. Individuals with a gross annual income above the following thresholds are only eligible for rebates for fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs):

  • $150,000 for single filers
  • $204,000 for head-of-household filers
  • $300,000 for joint filers

For individuals with low and moderate household incomes of less than or equal to 300% of the federal poverty level, rebates are increased by $2,000, for a total rebate amount of up to $7,000. Increased rebates are available for ARB-approved FCEVs, PHEVs, and battery electric vehicles.ARB determines annual funding amounts for the CVRP, which is expected to be effective through 2023. ARB must submit a report to the State Legislature on the environmental and economic impacts of the CVRP by December 31, 2018. For more information, including information on income verification, a list of eligible vehicles, and how to apply, see the CVRP website.

 

Insurance 保険

Type: Utility/Private Incentives
Jurisdiction: CA
Farmers Insurance provides a discount of up to 10% on all major insurance coverage for HEV and AFV owners. To qualify, the automobile must be a dedicated AFV using ethanol, compressed natural gas, propane, or electricity, or be a HEV. A complete vehicle identification number is required to validate vehicle eligibility. For more information, see the Farmers California Insurance Discounts website.
However, I personally recommend GEICO vs any others.  Their rate far excceeded (meaning less) among any other insurance companies I have asked.

Try Embrella insurance to get further discounted deal. https://www.geico.com

 

Plug-In Electric Vehicle (PEV) Charging Rate Reduction

Yes, you can also apply for the reduced electric charging rate at home.  and this is not typo.

contact your local electric company:

ex. Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) offers a $0.025 per kilowatt-hour discount for electricity used to charge PEVs during off-peak times. Residential customers who install a separate time-of-use meter panel will also receive a $250 credit. For more information, see the LADWP Electric Vehicle Incentives website.

Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Rebate – LADWP

The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP) or other local power suppliers provide rebates to commercial and residential customers toward the purchase of Level 2 EVSE. Commercial customers who purchase and install EVSE for employee and public use can receive up to $4,000 for each charger. Eligible customers may qualify for up to 20 rebate awards depending on the number of parking spaces. Residential customers who install wall-mounted chargers can receive up to $500. EVSE must be installed within the LADWP service area; rebates do not cover the cost of installation. Rebates are available on a first-come, first-served basis through June 30, 2018, or until funds are exhausted, whichever occurs first. For program guidelines and application materials, see the Charge Up L.A.! website.

みなさん。

現在ファクトリーへ来ております。
明日AP2.5Deliveryです。微力ですが日本側の対応の形をもう少し深く説明し文章にて提出しました。
メッセージを見る限り現地アメリカとはかけ離れたサービス内容でありテスラのブランディングイメージに傷がつくばかりで複雑な気持ちです。
日本はパシフィックアジアの一つと考えるのは理解できるが、マネージメントを一貫する理由から本社と日本を離すことで現地情報の理解に誤差が発している。交通省との政治はどの国でも同じで、各国に対応したローカルな判断とスピードが必要である。日本はグローバルスケールから考えると（右ハンドルという理由からも）とても小さなマーケットであるのでどうしても意見が上に上がりにくいことは現状なようです。
ただ、日本・イギリスと彼らの影響度は非常に高いことなど様々なポイントをあげ、大きな視野から改良が必要と意見をまとめ提出しました。
ナビゲーション・APに関するドライバーからのコメントはドライバのアナウンスボタンを押して”Note”と言ってから意見を述べるとテスラサーバーへアップされます。
日本語では「ノート」なのかは定かではありませんが、是非試してみてください。　録音時間は約１５−２０秒ほどですが、意見は結構真面目にメモされるので問題があれば改善用リストに上がります。みんなで同じようなメッセージをあげればテスラジャパンサイドも無視ができないでしょうし、テスラジャパンのせいではないとしてもそのファイルを利用して本社にあげることができるはずです。
テスラという文化はまだまだ始まったばかりです。みんなで協力してがんばりましょう！
Always,
