>Some people disliked Tesla's recent profitable quarters because they used green credits from Europe to make a fraction of their profit. Why is that a downside? Every industry has huge governmental incentives, that's nothing new. It's not about "disliking" the profits. The incentives are good. It's people saying, "Tesla is profitable!", when all of the tiny profits come from one time charges. >The Europeans, who actually legislate based on science and reality, are supporting BEVs (Tesla) Did you know Tesla sales are down over most of Europe, as the "ICE companies" put out competitive vehicles?
