Tax credits will be all exhausted by the time they release the model 3 since it applies for only so many vehicles per manufacturer. Also the ZEV credits are being sold for less then $0.50 on the dollar if they can find a buyer at all since they don't produce polluting cars themselves (per Teslas latest earnings call) and contribute negligibly to their bottom line. Not to say that Subsidies haven't helped to get Tesla to where they are, only to say they won't be necessary moving forward.
