Tesla is NOT a viable company and does NOT have a viable product, if you take away the roughly $35,000 the gubmint pays them for every car.

The company I work for is forced to pay nearly $100 mil PER YEAR to buy BS fake carbon credits.

Tesla is GIVEN $68 million worth of fake BS scam carbon credits per year but they are also exempted from needing them because the gubmint is picking favorites.

So Tesla sells those $68 million worth of carbon credits and pockets the $$$.

And that figure increases every year.

Add to that the $7000 tax subsidy for electric vehicles. and a total LOOSER company suddenly becomes viable.

With the taxpayer's help of course.

Note that I did NOT factor in the additional tax subsidy of not having to pay state, local and federal excise taxes on gasoline.
That would add another $4000 over the average life of the car.
