In the USA, those of us trying to get a 2023 xc40 recharge that was made in 2022 to get the $7,500 rebate before it disappears (yes, contract signed before the new infrastructure law was signed into law) the VIN number supposedly shows the date of manufacturing. Here is a sample VIN (not my car) on a dealer website. Is the date hidden in there?

A few things to unpack here:
  • The year the vehicle was made doesn't have any bearing on the tax credit law.
  • It doesn't matter whether you take delivery in 2022 or 2023.
  • Every currently existing 2023 model was made in 2022.
  • Before you purchase, please consult a tax professional in your state to make sure your contract qualifies you for the grandfathered tax credit.

thanks for the clarification.I appreciate it.
i thought it had to be delivered this year. that's good to know as my shipped date slipped a month.
I do plan on talking to our tax professional.
