In reply to the discussion: Elon Musk erupts over California plan that could cut Tesla from EV tax credit [View all]SunSeeker
(54,070 posts)5. The old federal EV tax credit worked the same way, Tesla did not qualify.
The old federal EV tax credit only applied to manufacturers who had not yet met a certain quota of EVs sold. Tesla had long ago blown past that EV quota.
Interesting how Eloon didn't complain about that EV tax credit critera the whole 4 years Trump was pResident.
Teslas are now eligible again for that federal tax credit thanks to the green energy components in Bidens Inflation Reduction Act that Trump wants to get rid of.

I hope the blue states decimate Elon until he's screaming in a courtroom louder than Giuliani

Stupid Musk moved Tesla out of California in a fit of pique. If he stayed he'd get the California credit

He wants the credits gone because he wants to hurt his companies competition.
