Does a person making 55k a year pay enough in taxes that they can take sufficient advantage of tax credits to bring the car down to that price?

Not the federal rebate, but California sends rebate checks. You also can make quite a bit of money and get significant rebates back in the state.

Separate and related question: what can a single person making less than 55k in CA afford if they are renting their own 1 bd?

I think the vehicle rebates are so such people can have a car to sleep in. /s
