I got my LRMY dual motor at the end of February where you see the yellow chart line drop below $50k for a two week period to $48990 before rising up the ladder to currently a $6k equity. The auto industry is suffering from the Chip Shortage and it's Global not just in the US.

I actually see this as the way government is SUPPOSED to work. An entire party is not supposed to be always in lock step with each other. Right now we have one half of elected officials trying to move the country forward. The other half is scared to death of being criticized by the former guy for supporting anything Biden does or says, even if their constituents largely are for it.
As far as how they're paying for the infrastructure bill, seems to me increasing taxes on the rich and large corporations is a pretty reasonable suggestion that 98% of us should agree with.
Not sure if this is a leading Q or genuine one, I’ll assume it’s genuine. Shame on you if it’s a leading Q.
In the US, part of the current budget deal is a proposal to modify the existing EV rebate/ point of sale incentive to remove the 200k car limit which would allow Tesla to participate in the EV incentive program again. It is still very much in flux and the House version was apparently sink-holed, but the Senate version is still bobbing around. I suggested above it was rumored, but that’s not quite accuracy. It exists in multiple forms but if it gets signed and what the final version looks like is up in the air. Until the budget gets finalized we don’t really know if it will happen or not.
For real. I managed to get the rebate on my MY, because it was totally base - stock wheels, white, black interior, standard range. I can't imagine any other config qualifying. $42k and some change out the door.That’s better than WA. They offer a sales tax rebate, but it’s only on the first $20K and car price needs to be under $45K, so basically written to exclude Teslas
Nice!

At risk of delving into sensitive or controversial political topics, here's my take:
Even though it stings a bit, the dollar stratification of the tax code kinda makes sense. Tesla 3 and Y's have likely displaced a lot of Audi 3 / 4 series, BMW 3 series, Mercedes C class, Acura and Lexus sales. Those buyers are in an income bracket that really don't need a tax break or incentive to go EV.
Makes more sense to preserve those funds for the next tier down and get the Corolla / Camry / Accord / Civic / Elantra / Forte / used all the above cars off the road and increase EV adoption to middle income buyers. EV's can't just be viewed as a luxury item, they need to be mainstream choices and as awesome as it is to see Tesla crush everyone, there have to be more choices from other brands, and lower cost, to start pivoting Americans off ICE and into EV's. So yes, WA State's "Tesla Poison Pill" for state tax waivers stings a little, but the ~$2000 savings is unlikely to be any sort of inhibitor/accellerant for most Washingtonians that are purchasing a Tesla.

In addition to the general MSPR price increases, Tesla seems to be slowly increasing peripheral costs.
- Order Cost increased from $100 to $250
- Changed from 1 year free Premium Connectivity to 30 days. So basically increase in price of $110 + tax for the same product.
July is only for the white car, black interior, 5 seat, and 19" wheels. Change any of those things and it moves back to April. Clearly they don't want to sell the lowest priced option.

As a Tesla shareholder, I like seeing the subscription model changes like this.

Dont know if this has been asked but for my sanity will ask... again. Due to price increases, does placing your order lock you into that price?
