It’s truly not the same thing as “girl math”, the incentives really makes a factor in a product being more affordable. Even if you have to wait a year why is that necessarily a bad thing? You still reap the benefits, it’s not like it’s a tax deductible where you would have to do special conditions to make it worth it.

Even factoring without tax incentives a Model 3 being high 30k is far better than any comparable at that price point.

Genuinely what EV can you get at that price that isn’t vaporware or something that’s low production?

Maybe because they’re the most affordable without comprises to the battery tech and have a robust charging station? A Model 3 with tax incentives easily hits low 30k, while I’m not crazy about Tesla built quality that’s really compelling.

Every other legacy manufacturers are making compromised cars at that price point and you have to go up to their 60k+ blobs to get somewhere.

RIP to the V6 in the Camry and the 2.0T I4 in the Accord but the hybrid powertrains are a big win to the average consumer. Most people prefer fuel economy over horsepower.
