Imagine how pissed everyone who bought this year would feel if they missed out on a rebate. I am not sure that Tesla needs them anymore as they have proven their worth, GM probably blew it by burning thru their EV allotment w/o convincing people that they knew how to make great electric cars. They still have all this legacy baggage and they have to sell cars at full-price starting next quarter. I don't see a great way forward. At least Ford and Fiat still have time to get their engineering up to speed to compete while still getting the federal money. Any way you look at it having legacy automotive support needed is going to make the transition difficult. Almost easier to start a new company like Polestar did that only needs to make electric cars.
