"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."


The gubmint is not supporting Tesla enough. $68 M is a drop in the bucket for support of new technology. In comparison, How much does the US spend everyday on gasoline?

The BS carbon credits your company has to buy is based on the tons on pollution that goes into the environment. Some (all do) call it a carbon credit but it actually is a fine for polluting.

What if the gubmint earmarked these 'carbon credits' and used the monies for developing and supporting new energy technology?

Maybe, electric autos isn't the future but how much longer can we keep depending on oil?

I guess the answer is....... FOREVER



PS- What is a viable company? You don't pay US taxes?
