  1. You must be mistaken. Teslas are the epitome of luxury vehicles……. 😂😂😂
  2. No because std deduction reduces your taxable income not your actual taxes.
  3. Garbage……. 😂 I know a few edge owners with 250k+ on the original pump. Regular coolant changes help a lot.
  4. Yes. Those are the actual taxes you pay. But some people who do withholding get confused about taxes vs refunds. E.g. You earned $100k and when you calculate your taxes you owe the govt $20K for the year. If your employer only withheld $18k during the year you owe an additional $2k when you file. If your employer withheld $22K during the year you get a $2K refund. In both cases you paid $20k. And the $7500 rebate would reduce that to $12,500. So if your employer withheld exactly $20k and you claim the full $7500, you only owe $12,500 and would get a $7500 refund.

  6. Precisely. And you can’t claim the other $7000 later. You get the $500 credit and that’s it. So in that case if you told the dealer you were eligible for $7500 and got the $7500 credit on your purchase, you now owe the government $7000. And again this is based on taxes you owe for the year not based on how much you have to pay or get back when you file.
  7. At this point it’s a crap shoot. The thing to ask is given the slow down in EV sales do they have the ability to compete and make money or were they dependent on an explosion of EV sales?
  8. But those are external. I don’t think I’ve heard of water pump failures on I4 ecoboosts before. Interesting. Did you change the coolant?
  9. I should also point out that taxes owed means how much you owe the govt in taxes for the year. Not how much you have to pay or get back when you file the return which is based on withholding.
  10. No no no. It doesn’t change the amount of credit you get. Think of it like a payday loan. Govt loans you $7500 and you have to eligible for and claim the entire $7500 on your subsequent return. If not you must pay back the difference. Let’s say you ask for the $7500 credit on a new purchase, but come tax time you only have $4K in taxes owed. You can only claim the $4K credit and you have to pay back the extra $3500. Or worse - you get the credit but don’t qualify for any of it at tax time. You have to pay back the entire $7500. It only changes the timing of when you get the credit not the amount. And it’s still based on your taxes owed for that year.
  11. It’s a common problem but as a percentage of all engines sold, it’s probably a small number.
  12. Huh? It still works the same as before. It’s still a tax credit that reduces the amount of tax you have to pay. The only difference is you can get it at purchase time as a discount on the vehicle sale instead of waiting until you file taxes the next year.
  13. But they have the obligation to find and report these problems. And to escalate up the line if nobody listens. If everyone knows they’ll be held accountable there won’t be any incentive to hide problems.
  14. How do you figure that? They were in every edge, Taurus, MKX, MKS, Explorer, flex and a few other vehicles for at least a decade.
