Full Tesla Tax Credit Set to Expire Monday: LIVE MARKETS BLOG

Full Tesla Tax Credit Will Expire Monday

If your weekend includes shopping for a Tesla Inc. (TSLA) vehicle, make sure to buy the car before Monday, Oct. 15.

That's the day the $7,500 tax credit purchasers have enjoyed will expire as the company surpasses the threshold of 200,000 U.S. electric vehicle deliveries.

The company is letting customers know that "all orders placed by October 15, 2018 will be delivered by the end of the year" and will be eligible for the full tax credit on its website.

The company first confirmed that it hit the federal tax credit threshold in the first week of the third quarter.

Tesla buyers will still be able to see a smaller tax benefit after Oct. 15. Buyers will get a $3,750 tax benefit over the next few months, per Internal Revenue Service tax rules.
