EV Tax Credit for Couples Married in 2023

My girlfriend and I are planning to get married this year and file jointly for 2023 tax. We want to take advantage of the 7500 tax credit towards buying a new Tesla. Here's the situation.

 

Our total income will be above 300k (the income cap) in 2023 so that would make us ineligible for the tax credit. However, we both filed as single in 2022 and my girlfriend's modified AGI is less than 150k and has tax reliability above 7500. She will be the primary owner of the car and our names will both be on the registration. 

 

Could we get the 7500 tax credit if we file jointly in 2023?
