    That’s actually a policy that existed long before Harris was Vice President.

    To incentivize manufacturers to build EV’s, the first 200,000 get a tax credit. Tesla reached its limit first so now wants to stop the incentives for all other manufacturers.

    To make it fair, if the tax credit is removed Tesla should be required to pay back the ~ $1.5 Billion in tax credits they received.

      Also, incentives for union-made American products. Whoops, Elen and Tesla is anti-union. Seems to be the root of his hate for Biden.
