The infinite wisdom of socialists.
Well, the US are well known to be experts on socialism, aren't they...
By the way, the shadiness of Tesla's practices came from the fact that before Tesla introduced the "optional" comfort package the base price of any Model S was way above 60K Euro. They tailored the comfort package to specifically get the base price below 60K, and THEN made the comfort package mandatory. At least that is what I can testify to from my own experience. It couldn't be removed in the configurator, and the guy from the Tesla store even confirmed to me that the sole purpose of that package was to get the base price low enough to become eligable for the incentive. THAT is why the BAFA has taken the Model S off the list of eligable vehicles, because the regulations state that the 60K limit has to be for a car that can actually be purchased. The below 60K Model S, at least at the time, could not be purchased, that's the whole point.
And as for anybody suggesting exceptions are made for German models more expensive than 60K, that's BS. All cars above 60K base price don't get the incentive, no matter where they are from.
