If you’ve been thinking about making the switch to a Tesla, now is the moment to act. The federal EV tax credit, worth up to $7,500 on new vehicles and $4,000 on eligible pre-owned models, is set to expire on September 30, 2025. Thanks to recent IRS guidance, all you need is an approved order or written binding contract by that date to secure your eligibility, even if delivery happens afterward.
This short extension is big news for anyone considering an EV, especially a Tesla. Let’s break down how the credit works, which models qualify, and why it’s not just about saving thousands upfront but also about unlocking long-term benefits.
How the EV Tax Credit Works for Tesla
For new Teslas, eligible buyers can receive up to $7,500 off the purchase price, either applied at the time of delivery or later on your tax return with IRS Form 8936. Pre-owned Teslas priced at $25,000 or less (2022 model year or older) may also qualify for up to $4,000 in savings.
To qualify, you’ll need to meet IRS Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) limits, keep your Tesla under the MSRP cap, and have enough tax liability to claim the full amount. The key is timing: you must order by September 30, 2025 to lock in the credit.
Here are the MSRP limits for eligible models:
-
Model 3: under $55,000
-
Model Y: under $80,000
-
Cybertruck: under $80,000
Why Owning a Tesla Is More Than Just a Tax Break
The tax credit makes Tesla ownership more affordable, but the advantages go much further:
-
Lower fuel costs compared to gas-powered vehicles
-
Minimal maintenance with fewer moving parts and no oil changes
-
Sustainable driving that reduces your carbon footprint
-
Cutting-edge technology like Autopilot, over-the-air updates, and an ever-expanding Supercharger network
A Tesla isn’t just a car, it’s an upgrade to your lifestyle.
