Exclude Tesla.
I have a better idea. How about for every one $7,500 EV credits we could give, we instead give out 10 $750 tax credits for e-bikes. That will cover the entire cost of a basic entry level e-bike nowadays.
I know there is a tradition of not imposing laws that target a specific company but is it an actual law with consequences?
Because it would be great if the tax credit law was written with the explicit exclusion of Tesla.
If Musk wants to use the federal government to target his business competitors, then the State government can do the same.
It already does exclude tesla. The first tax credit from the Obama years went away after a company was producing a certain volume of cars, it was meant to spur new companies, not bolster established ones. Tesla got it for a while but by now they make too many cars to count.
Not sure if it was actually kept in but the tax credits in the IRA were also dependent on cars being union made, and Elon hates unions so tesla was excluded. This is probably part of the reason Elon hates Biden and why he turned to trump.
So you don’t have to really target tesla, you can just target large established manufacturers or non union ones.
They changed the tax credit so Tesla is included again.
Great news for all the average people thinking of buying a brand new car…
Newsome is just another neoliberal hoping he gets a chance to be shoved down America’s throat’s
The party doesn’t need a disciple of Gordan Getty, in any sane world Newsom would be a rising star in the conservative party and I’d have relatively few problems with him
But if he’s the left most option, he won’t get enough votes to be president and we’ll all be stuck with trump’s successor
