Tesla has confirmed selling its 200,000th vehicle in the U.S. and they've updated their tax credit phaseout chart to reflect.

For those new to the tax credit details available for EV's, here's a quick explanation.
All plug-ins vehicles sold in the U.S. are eligible for a federal tax credit up to $7,500 (more qualifying details apply). When a manufacturer sells 200,000 cars, the full amount will be available through the following quarter. After, all new plug-ins from that manufacturer are eligible for 50% of the per-vehicle credit amount for two additional quarters. The credit then continues to diminish in phases until it's phased out completely.



The other manufacturer's getting close to losing the federal tax credit are:

• GM
• Nissan
• Ford
• Toyota
• BMW

Note: Nuro's fleet consists of modified Toyota Priuses.

Kroger and Nuro announced their autonomous delivery service in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Currently, the service is limited to a single location, but the program has already started, so people who live in the area can now place grocery orders and they'll arrive in a driverless EV vehicle. Here's the full story
