the current law has nothing to do with MSRP or purchase price. If the 'new' idea of the BBB plan, or some form of it, eventually passes, you may then see a 'max price' that is imposed, but that, too, is subject to any negotiations before it is voted on, passes, and is signed into law. Chances are, it could be made retro-active, or it could be written to only apply to vehicles purchases AFTER a certain date in the future.
Also, the current credit is likely not going to effect anyone with a current order. Those with upcoming 2023 orders, if they fall well into deliveries during the next mid-year, might see some downfall of the current law and the limitations it entails. Some folks, though, don't realize that the current rules don't allow the current credit to suddenly disappear - it will continue well into TWO quarters AFTER a manufacturer has sold it's 200,000th EV. If that last vehicle is sold on the 1st day of a new quarter, then the credit continues thru that quarter, AND two more, which is almost up to 9 months past the time the 200,000th EV was sold - not BUILT, but SOLD.
