Time for a new thread to discuss Tesla charging ahead with sales this month rather than deferring them in order to put off passing the 200,000 milestone of U.S. sales until the 3rd Quarter this year.
A rare case where both sides of an impassioned debate turned out to be right. Tesla did pass the 200,000 milestone of U.S. sales in June*, but (apparently due to IRS rules) the full $7500 tax credit will remain in effect until the end of 2018!
Many thousands of Tesla buyers will be very happy at this news.
*unless IEVs' count was several thousand off, which appears extremely unlikely
