I'm not sure that the credit is necessarily gone—just that it won't apply to one's 2022 tax return. It's all very nebulous.
I’m not sure if you work for the IRS or treasury department or have some other insider info… but this has been a lengthy deiscussion on many forums…
the killer to the deal was the ICA and then thethe recent advice by both the IRS and Treasury department thatone item it states is that it must be assembled in the USA, then future advice would come on the sourcing of the batteries, by March.
since the car was produced in Japan and wasn’t taken delivery by 12/31 then it’s no longer qualifies…
the only loophole I found was getting it on a Lease, or Busienss purchase… in fact Mr. Machen ( from West Virginia) was very vocal about this recently and told the IRS this would defeat the purpose of the IRA bill.
anyway, good luck to anyone thinking they’ll get something out of this after 1/1/23.
