Most rebates can either be claimed after purchase or reflected as a reduction in the price of your purchase for solar systems, while tax credits are claimed when filing income taxes.

Many states also offer non-cash incentives for electric vehicles, such as Carpool lane access in California and free municipal parking.

All of the above incentives are available when purchasing a Tesla vehicle with cash or a loan. Only California, Colorado, Massachusetts, New York, and Tennessee incentives are available when leasing a Tesla vehicle.

Above solar incentives apply to eligible residential customers. In addition to the above solar incentives, the following states also provide incentives through the sale of Renewable Energy Credits (RECs): Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Washington D.C.

Incentive programs are offered and administered by government agencies. Eligibility and availability vary and are outside of Tesla’s control. Most programs are limited to a total dollar amount that can be dispersed or will expire on a certain date. Be sure to visit the state program’s website for the most up-to-date information on availability and redemption requirements.

Your eligibility for income tax credits depends on your personal tax situation. We recommend speaking with a tax professional for guidance.
