But consider that Elon Musk has recently come out vocally agains the subsidy. He feel's that rather than an electric car subsidy, carbon should be taxed and 'let the market decide'. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/338108608430632960 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/338108608430632960 That is what a bad faith argument looks like. Having taken the subsidy for years, as all of the other major car maker are starting to offer an electric model, he gets religion and wants the subsidy eliminated. That is, once it starts to benefit competitors more than Tesla, it's a market distortion. I don't begrudge him playing the game better than others, but don't pretend he's not playing the game.
