    Now *That* Is a Tax Break
    The state of Colorado is trying to encourage the adoption of "alternative fuel vehicles" by offering tax credits based on the difference in cost between the said vehicle and a comparable non-green version. This means you could get about $3k in tax credit on a 2010 Toyota Prius or 2010 Honda Insight, or even $3.8k on a Honda Civic GX that runs on compressed natural gas. But the real eye-popper is the rebate on the all-electric Tesla Roadster: $ 42,083. That's about 38% of the car's $109k sticker price!

    I would sell my Prius if I could get in on that deal.

    The deal ends on Dec 31st, that means if you order one now and you will not get the rebate because there is a waiting list about one years long. So there may be a handful of order that may take delivery by the end of the year for Colorado residence. I think this is a calculate publicity stung due to the number of people will be benefited.

    Are Tesla Roadster sales dead? Order online now for Christmas delivery! — Autoblog Green seems to contradict your above statement.

    What ... you mean like out to the dog house? meah, it wasn't that bad ... her answer wasn't "Sure! ... why not?" by any means, but the 'no' was defenitely a 'no'. But see? That part of the strategy. NO one want's to always say 'no'. So what you do is ask for this, ask for that, and eventually (when the PHEV Gen III rolls out) with luck and timing, you get what you REALLY want

    ahh, i c... so iow, you are playing on the hunch that too many "no's" will wear on her conscious and sense of compromise. so a lot of requests, not really wanted, is just a setup for the "yes" you really want...

    got it... but actually my question pertained to the fact that the rebate is for Colorado residents...

    It's a non-refundable income tax credit so you still have to pay at least $109,000 + 7500 + fees/taxes up front. If you happen to earn at least $182,000/yr then you can get your $42,000 after 5 years.
