After announcing pricing and updates for the 2024 Solterra, Subaru made a mistake in its press release. Subaru has incorrectly stated that some 2024 Solterra owners will qualify for the $7,500 EV tax credit. But there’s a (major) problem: it’s not built in the United States.
Subaru brought the 2024 Solterra electric SUV with new improvements, adding faster charging and much more.
With an improved battery conditioning system, the 2024 model can run up to 80 minutes faster in extreme temperatures. The new Bachelorette can run from 10% to 80% in “as little as 35 minutes. “That’s less than an hour. ” in the style of last year.
The new styling also includes an improved idler with regenerative brake-force paddle switches and roof rails.
Subaru said the roof rails are ideal for a rooftop tent or other giant pieces with a static load capacity of 700 pounds (176 dynamic pounds).
Despite the improvements, Subaru has kept the price the same. The 2024 Solterra starts at $46,340. This includes a destination payment of $1,345.
Meanwhile, the press release states that “the 2024 Solterra will be eligible for applicable federal tax credits of up to $7,500 for homeowners. “As published by online automotive research company CarsDirect, Subaru builds the Solterra overseas, which means it is not eligible for the EV Tax Credits at the time of purchase.
However, you are eligible to receive credits due to a lease failure. Todd W. Hill, Subaru product appointment manager, confirmed: “Tax credits will likely be awarded to those who lease the vehicle. “
Hill added: “In general, we refer to buyers and tenants as ‘landlords’, but in this context, that language is as transparent as it can be.
Subaru updated the release to read, “The 2024 Solterra will be eligible for applicable federal tax credits of up to $7,500 for select customers. “The fine print on the back reads, “When rented through Subaru Motors Finance. “
The 2024 Solterra starts at $46,340, with the Touring trim going over $53,340. The 2024 Subaru Solterra Touring features a gloss black hood, panoramic sunroof, and more.
According to Fueleconomy. gov, the 2024 Subaru Solterra achieves an EPA drive of up to 227 miles. The Limited and Touring models get a range of 222 miles.
