You call it a bribe, I call it an incentive. Plenty of tax dollar bribes/incentives to support our Elio's success after EM gets a proof of concept on the test track. Go Elio!
Whatever the government's vehicle bribe/incentive program's that support ATVMs.............tax credit bribes/incentives or economic development bribes/incentives that supports the creation of new jobs, makes new technology affordable to the masses, and boosts the economy is fine with me. Tesla Motors currently is providing thousands of jobs as a direct result of the tax incentives and the ATVM Loan programs and will continue to provide thousands more with their plans to increase production to 500,000 vehicles per year and the official opening of the Gigafactory. Perhaps we can look at it this way..........the EV tax credit programs are being supported by my tax dollars and yours are supporting other programs you favor. After all it is 'our' tax dollars so it's a Win Win.
If the end result gets a Tesla Model 3 with a driveable range extending Elio option in my garage.......... I will engage my inner dance mode.
