New electric car tax credit leaves out foreign automakers - and Tesla

[Anonymous]

Japanese automakers Honda and Toyota pointed their fury at lawmakers, who proposed to expand tax credits for EVs, but only for union-made cars assembled in the U.S.

Why is Tesla left out? Because they aren’t Union? That’s ridiculous that the Union verbiage was left in

Yeah, the union provisions were surprising. The extra incentive should have gone to any EV made in the US, recognizing that needs to be defined as well.

It doesn’t leave them out

It doesn't leave them out, it just gives a larger credit to cars made in unionized factories. Still plenty of incentives for EVs -- and, in Tesla's case, it's been years since they qualified for any federal tax incentive anyway, so this seems like good news for them regardless.

it's a democratic bill, the last thing they are going to do is encourage more manufacturing in low cost red states at the expense of battleground states

I guess Tesla needs to get better lobbyists.

Elon moved to Texas and sounds like a bad libertarian troll on twitter- that alienates one side of the isle. He also makes electric vehicles and pays lip service to caring about the environment - there goes the other side
