Does anyone know what the official GVWR is in the Touring? I believe the GT is around 6300 lbs and I have heard different numbers for the Touring. Less battery will definitely make it lighter. If the Touring is still above 6000 lbs GVWR then it would also qualify for the section 179 tax deduction, if you use it for small business, which is a massive deduction. I believe you can write off up to 100% but I think it has to be a purchase not a lease to take full advantage. Still trying to decide on leasing or purchasing my upcoming Touring delivery. Any input would be much appreciated.
Touring GVWR. / Tax deduction
- Thread starter AZair
- Start date
The sales guy told me that the GT is the only one that weighs 6k pounds. I didn’t ask as I didn’t know about that IRS code (my husband usually buys the work vehicles) so wasn’t considering it for the business until I heard that.
Nobody really knows exactly, that is the problem. I asked my delivery guy again and he said the Touring with 20” wheels is above 6000 lbs. He literally took a picture of the tag off a newly delivered Touring and it said “GVWR 6283lb”. If true it seems like it would qualify for the 179 deduction. If that is the case I believe you have to purchase not lease.
GVWR is the maximum safe weight of the vehicle including the car itself, passengers, stuff, etc. The car itself is around 5200 pounds.
Leases can qualify for 179 deductions as long as they meet certain criteria.
You posted twice. I answered on your other thread:

The GT GVWR is 6283lb. The Touring has approx. 18% less batteries (very heavy) and a few less features than GT, it is less than the GT's GVWR and it is most likely less than 6000lb.

As per this filing by Lucid with the EPA, the Touring has a GVWR of 6283 lbs:
Although we would want an actual Touring owner to look at, I suspect, their driver side door jamb to confirm.
