Tesla Model 3

Does a 2020 Telsa Model 3, purchased used in July of 2022 qualify for any federal tax credits?  My client seems to think so, but I can not find any where that says it does qualify.

Thanks

Tesla ran out of credit money back in 2021, I dont think theres anything for 2022, but I see some models are coming back with credits for those purchased in 2023.

If he bought in 2023 it would qualify.

So, everything I have read indicates that a 2022 Model 3 Rear-Wheel drive is not eligible for any amount of credits based on the fact that Tesla used all of their credits in 2021 - is that correct? I wish people would just answer the questions in this forum instead of posting links to IRS websites. I've read through the rules, I just want to make sure we're all coming to the same conclusion. 

You know the ol' adage, ask 10 accountants about their interpretation of the tax law, and you'll receive 10 different answers.

Well, one does get what one pays for.  


Here's the answer I think most are looking for - a fact sheet from the IRS and Treasury
