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
