I'm glad to not have my tax dollars subsidizing import car sales personally, so fine by me to limit that EV tax credit to domestic vehicles.
However, I would have preferred the fed not bailout big auto (or banks, or what's the latest socialized losses situation... Intel?). Either let it burn down when they fail or nationalize them and where's our national dividend?
- digianarchist 4y agoSure but from what I've read manufacturers weren't given a lot of lead time to onshore production.

- keewee7 4y agoSomeone really should analyze how much Norwegian, British, and EU tax payers funded Tesla in the past 10 years. I think a significant amount of their sales was subsidized by us.
- miguelazo 4y agoGiven how much “domestic” auto manufacturers produce abroad, does it really matter at this point? I am generally in favor of industrial policy and I understand why the sourcing rule was included, but this effective immediately rule is absurd. And if the real goal is to replace more ICE cars with EVs, further limiting the already extremely limited inventory that qualifies for the credit seems very counterproductive.
- pengaru 4y agoYes, yes it matters.
