Wow, "long tailpipe" myth is a blast from the past... >receive money from other brands to buy fake "carbon" credits Also smog credits, and kids' developing lungs can assure you urban smog is very real. This kinda proves my point. If other automakers don't want to buy smog/ carbon credits from Tesla then make zero emission vehicles. Companies that can't make the vehicles of the future cease to exist, part of "creative destruction" which is an explicit goal in such market-based pollution policies. We decided those are the rules of the game (because pollution sucks). Can't get offended at the players just because the rules of the game did exactly what we intended. >they receive money from the state and from their shareholders Equally (or more) true for the other majors, so that doesn't explain how Tesla makes money on EVs and others can't.
