Save A Bundle On A Electric Vehicle

Pennsylvania offers up to a $2,000 rebate. Couple that with a federal tax credit up to $7,500 and you might save not only on fuel, but on the cost for the vehicle itself. Here's the pdf rebate form for Pennsylvania

Several states offer rebates as well. Even the oil rich state of Texas offers a $2,500 rebate.... BUT... There's a catch when it comes to Tesla models. Texas requires all vehicles to be sold through dealers. Tesla markets only direct (via the web) saving the middleman costs associated with dealerships When legilsators wrote the law they made it so only vehicles sold at dealerships or through official dealership channels could qualify.

To even buy a Tesla in Texas here's what it takes to buy one. Seems to me if Texas wants to be chosen over Arizona, Nevada or New Mexico for Tesla's future $4 billion factory this isn't exactly a swell way to lobby for it. Just another reason why I think Texas has more horses asses running around in it then any other Southwestern state.

As of March 2014 at least 40 states enacted electric vehicle incentives

Two car charging stations are now available on the Pennsylvania Turnpike

.. "Charging stations making it possible to travel all the way from the east to the west coast of the United States entirely depending on free charging stations designed for Tesla Model S,...

John Glenney, a Lexington Kentucky citizen and owner of 4 Tesla Model S sedans, became the first person to drive cross country utilizing a network of Tesla Supercharger stations on a road trip with his daughter leaving from New York on January 20th and arriving in Los Angeles on the 26th. Out of the 71 active Supercharger stations in the country, Glenney says he used 28."

According to 'Edmunds' the MSRP for a Tesla S is $71,070. After Pennsylvania's $2,000 rebate and assuming the maximum federal tax credit of $7,500 is taken off the MSRP, the final cost for a Tesla S would be $61,570. Far less then some of the mainstream gasoline powered upper end vehicles currently on the market.
