I think we sometimes fall into the trap of looking at a single data point (income) and ignoring the rest of the "owner profile" picture this admittedly incomplete article tries to articulate. The over arching picture would suggest that the average USA Tesla owner is significantly better off than most, and is in lesser need of incentives. Think "hand out" vs. "hand up". There, I've exposed my inner libtard for you all to see ;-)I think we sometimes fall into the trap of assuming someone making more ($125k+) automatically has more disposable income than someone making less ($67k). Sometimes true, but not always. Chances are the former also has higher expenses (mortgage/rent) when compared to the latter. Also, higher earners typically make more responsible financial decisions and an incentive to purchase one thing over another is just that.
Looking forward to seeing what gets passed, if anything, by our dysfunctional representatives. Also re: "Republican position" - it's two Democrats that are holding up progress at this point so careful about throwing rocks in a glass house.
