Model S is a luxury product. What if Bugatti makes a $1 mil electric car, should the government subsidize that, only because it's electric?

- denzil_correa 10y agoTrue. How was the 60,000 number reached?
- germanier 10y agoI don't think the calculation has been made public but obviously that number was derived through a political process in the government. It is rumored that it was meant to be 40k in the first place, excluding almost all models. Note that the 60k also excludes some German models such as the BMW i8 which would otherwise be eligible.
- denzil_correa 10y agoIt is interesting how 60,000 excludes ONLY Tesla but excludes only some models from other companies. It's very difficult to not make the obvious conclusion on how that number was reached.
