- jjtheblunt 5y agoI think that's not their complaint; I think they started selling EV credits that Tesla earns from the government to internal combustion engine companies (GM, Ford, etc.). Then the government changed the story by instituting a delay, which devalued what they had earned under the original rules. I believe they are proposing that changing the rules on them, because they did the work to be in compliance, is effectively punishing them financially for that work, indirectly.

- ProAm 5y agoIt's because without government subsidies in one form or another Tesla isn't profitable (not SolarCity, nor SpaceX)
- jjtheblunt 5y agohow can you tell (i ask because I don't know how to read the published earnings report) ?
