EV Tax Credit loophole for leased vehicles
I guess some people in Congress wanted to drive around in a luxury EV and still take advantage of the old EV Tax Credit even though it was supposed to expire.

Apparently this loophole is real. MB is now offering $7500 "bonus cash" on leases for the EQS Sedan and the EQB SUV which do not qualify for the $7500 tax credit if they are purchased outright.

No where it said you can’t. I plan to buyout my SUV once the lease is up.
MB also have a special where they pay three months of your lease up to $7500.

This loophole bypasses the price cap on the car and the income cap as well? I guess since the discount is being taken off the lease by the dealership, there’s no way for the government to verify your income but what about the vehicle price? I’ve never leased a car before but if this is still around when the EQG comes out, that would be nice!
