That big beautiful bill also eliminates Inflation Reduction Act incentives that mainly benefitted red states. I cannot wait to see how the senators and governors in those states explain to their constituents how they will be losing jobs due to cuts in those programs.
Hard to believe American auto makers are still rolling out $60k-$70+k vehicles. Shaking my head.
757 billion in oil industry subsidies per year
Road Tax if not by fuel has to come from other sources. A flat $250 is unfair to small EV owners and a gift to larger ones and does not account for mileage. Some states have already started their EV tax programs. Till now not an issue.
Silverado EV 100%
Trump: Keep China great and America in the 20th century.
You had me at Wienermobiles racing at Indy...
I'm surprised that Trump's Big Beautiful tax bill does not allow Tesla buyer only to keep the tax credit. I guess $270, 000,000 doesn't buy what Elon thought it would.
It's too bad about the tariffs. I'd love to see that new Silverado EV Trailboss sold in Canada. It seems like the perfect EV for police, for electric utilities, parks agencies, fire captains, and fire marshals, EMS, etc. That truck is absolutely awesome. It's a damn shame too many Americans were stupid enough to vote for a rap/cist who thinks it makes sense to impose tariffs as a way to raise revenue while simultaniously use tariffs as a mechanism to selfishly bring back manufactuuring to the US. That walking contradiction never really seems to click for Trump supporters.
The big problem is imposing $250 annually on each ev car, this is insane, at 18 cent per gallon for road tax , this is like consuming 1300 gallon of gas and driving 26k miles per year at 20mpg.
No word about the continued subsidies to the oil industry. I guess we’ve gotten so used to the Federal Government oil industry subsidies and US Military unpaid escorts and equipment losses (fighter jets falling overboard dodging missles) to escort and protect oil tankers that it just seems normal nowadays to be pretty much slaves to an entire lobby group. If oil were not subsidized by American taxpayers gasoline would cost over $12 gallon.
Tesla, the new Edsel. :face-blue-wide-eyes:
Take corn and subsidies out of our fuel.
Well that rear hatch opening is the one good thing about the new Charger, if more sedans came with that rear cargo setup instead of a regular rear trunk lid they would probably sell a lot better.
4:32 hold on, I have seen 2025 charger EVs in dealerships all over detroit and Florida. Did you mean a specific trim level only was delayed? Or the 2026 model year?
The federal EV tax credit is already very restrictive, and the models that don’t qualify still sell well.
Elon didn't predict Tesla would crumble because of his involvement with the Trump administration. The cookie crumbles!
This is not an Ad placement, but I've been receiving a boat load of discounted Nissan deals and not from an local independent Nissan dealership.
Did CATL just announce they can make Sodium batteries at $10 kWh compared to Lithium at $75 kWh? The battery is the most expensive part of the car. If this news is true, good luck to any competitors.
