- tomp 8y agoHuh? Electric car subsidies were just that, subsidies (i.e. Tesla cars were cheaper).

- tomp 8y agoAh, interesting, I never realized!
- WhompingWindows 8y agoHow are you defining subsidy? Tesla cars were not cheaper at the price level, a buyer in 2018 and before just gets a tax credit of $7,500 upon tax filing.
