Apparently Toyota didn’t respond to Electrek at the time that was written. I would consider doing something now to lock in the $7,500. However, Toyota is in the unique situation in that under the current credit, it will start the phase out process starting Oct 1, 2022.
So if you do a binding contract today — does that effectively lock you into the credit that would have applied had the vehicle been delivered today? Or does that merely allow you to follow the current program and the credit will be applied based on the date delivered, but under the current program.
For example: if I sign the binding contract today (August 10, 2022) and the bZ4X is delivered on March 1, 2023, would I qualify for the $7,500 based on the August 10, 2022 date? Or $1,875 had the original program been in effect on March 1, 2023?
