Announcing our new "CLUBS" section where you can join or create a Rivian club or group! You can use this new feature to conveniently plan and discuss local events, gatherings or other club/group related topics.
So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
Would this preclude Rivian, Tesla, Lucid buyers from claiming the rebate when filing taxes?
Yeah, should have phrased it differently. $300,000 agi might seem like alot, but after you net it out in places like socal (and other HCOL areas), its not nearly as much as some would think.
Part of the bill attempts to collect taxes from large corporations who notoriously avoid paying anything year after year. This country spends money on all kinds of things that are subjectively good or bad depending on whom you ask. The one thing we all know is if we don’t bring in tax revenue we can’t pay for any of it. Not even the basics.
This bill is tied into a package that includes heavy climate initiatives other than just EVs, so yes this bill will help the climate (not planet, the planet will be fine if it heats up and we all die, humanity won't be though) more than any bill passed in recent US history.
No. Just means there would not be a point-of-sale price reduction. (Which, mark my words, most dealers will keep a big chunk of anyway.)
If it's anything like what Colorado has done for PoS tax credits then there will be a max fee they can collect for handling it. Here in CO, IIRC, it's a max of $150 for the state credit. I got to benefit from the PoS tax credit when I bought my MINI.
The very people proposing this bill know it’s not going to do a damn thing for the climate. They bank on people like you to believe it’s true in exchange for your vote.
Government: Spends more on climate change initiatives in the history of the country
Clearly this compromise legislative proposal crafted within and by the majority party accomplishes less for climate protection than many majority party folks would like, but it‘s important to remember the majority recognizes, in today’s Washington environment, even a compromised effort will get zero support from minority party senators and congressmen.
One rain drop does not fill a pond. The Grand Canyon was not carved by the Colorado River in just a few years. Truly impacting the climate and moving to sustainable energy and manufacturing practices will take many decades. This bill and people buying EVs now are not the solution but merely enablers for the changes to come. Doing nothing guarantees nothing will change.
