(confusing) Was there a change whereby a used otherwise qualifying vehicle vintage 2022 could qualify for $4k?

Congress goes to great lengths to make social policy thru the tax laws. Here's the new section. The requirements are tediously detailed. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/25E

F'rinstance:
Need modified AGI for the taxable tear and the prior year, so need to go toothr sections to define MAGI.
Need to copare that to threshold amount.
Need to see if the vehicle meets, by my count, at least 7 tests, some of which require their own separate deinitions and      refer to other Code sections which in turn have multiple requirements.
Need to meet at lest 3 more tests for a sale.
Need to meet at least 4 tests for a qualified buyer.
Need to know the VIN number. (The N is redundant, by the way.)
Need to apply "certain rules" in another section.
And finally, no need to mess withis after 12/31/32.

If you have the impression they don't care about the taxpayer/preparer burden, check out its legislative history:
