The EV credit is something of a red herring, as it is. You'd have to make a LOT of money and/or have very few deductions to take anywhere near the full credit. Based on my last tax return, I expect to be able to claim somewhere around half of the $7500 credit from buying my Bolt this year. If they drop the tax rate and double the standard exemption like was recently proposed, I expect that I will end up actually getting very little of the credit.I realize that it's premature in the process and it's only a proposal for the upcoming federal budget, however one item posted is the elimination of the EV credit. No one has any idea of the impact on sales.

It's also good to know there isn't currently or never has been Federal subsides provided to the electric utilities (coal, natural gas, oil, wind, solar, geothermal) companies.
Tesla isn't losing money because of expensive electricity costs, they're losing money because it costs too much to produce their cars.

The Tesla semi certainly sounds good, but the fact that Elon did not take any questions at the reveal sends up red flags. What is he afraid of, questions that he doesn't want to answer? You would think he would want to talk about it. Strange behavior. He mentioned the mileage at 500 hauling 80,000 lbs, but how much of that is truck with battery and how much is payload? He also said how fast it would charge using megachargers. Again, no details. Some basic calculations show the semis to have about a 1 MW battery. The amount of current needed to charge these batteries is indeed "mega". It will be interesting to watch Tesla for the next few years.
