[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The $7500 federal rebate has already been renewed/extended at least once. The Model Y, at least at one point, was the best selling car in the world.

I don’t think that anyone can seriously continue to make the claim that EV buyers still need $7500 federal tax rebates as subsidies. I, personally, think electric vehicles are great. They should not need any more rebates. And I expect that this new Congress and President Trump will end them in the next budget.[/quote]

Removing the EV tax credit will shut these plants down. Tell me which republicans congressman and senators will vote to shut down these new plant jobs created in the past 2 years? How much lobbying clout do you think these companies which have invested multiplied billion dollars in the state have? Do you think they can call and the governor, senators and congressmen will pick up the phone? lol

EV assembly plants 
Stanton, TN Ford: Motor Co.'s assembly plant -6,000 plant jobs, western Tennessee
West Pont, GA: Kia Motors' assembly plant -14,000 plant and supplier jobs
Stanton Spring, GA: Rivian's assembly plant - 7,500 plant jobs
Blythwood, SC: Scout Motors' assembly plan- 4,000 plant jobs
Moncure, NC: VinFast's assembly plant -7,500 plant jobs

Battery plants
Woodruff, SC: BMW's battery assembly facility near its Spartanburg plant  -11,000 employees 
Florence, SC: AESC's battery cell plant that will produce lithium-ion battery cells for BMW's Spartanburg plant -2,700 employees 
Jeffersonville, OH: Honda and LG Energy Solution's EV battery plant -2,200 employees

Gigafactories 
Gigafactory Nevada: Tesla's gigafactory near Lake Tahoe that produces EV components and energy storage systems -12,000 employees

These are not the only plants. Most are in red states. How many congressmen and senators can you afford lose on a vote? Just including the above I count 10 senators and 16-23 representatives.
