Didn't Tesla already receive a hefty amount of government subsidies? Seems like the public already wrote that check to Tesla.

  Looks like they've received a total of $2.5B in subsidies and $466M in loans[0]. Feel free to compare that to GM with $8B subsidies and $50B in loans[1] or Ford with $4.3B in subsidies and $33B in loans[2]. 0: https://subsidytracker.goodjobsfirst.org/prog.php?parent=tesla-inc https://subsidytracker.goodjobsfirst.org/prog.php?parent=tes... 1: https://subsidytracker.goodjobsfirst.org/prog.php?parent=general-motors https://subsidytracker.goodjobsfirst.org/prog.php?parent=gen... 2: https://subsidytracker.goodjobsfirst.org/prog.php?parent=ford-motor https://subsidytracker.goodjobsfirst.org/prog.php?parent=for...

    Why is that comparison relevant?
  • Symbiote 5y ago
    The subsidy per vehicle manufactured would probably be a better comparison.

      Per EV manufactured, sure.

        These weren't all--or even mostly--EV subsidies.

          In a world with climate change, there's no reason to ever subsidize ICE vehicles. So we can count those as a total waste of money.
