He did take a question or two, but I couldnt hear them over the marching band playing.

Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable
- Thread starter AudubonB
- Start date
Just to note, Biden reiterated how the new EV tax credit would work. Tesla would qualify for 10k of the possible 12k. Tesla could fight that stipulation but.......this would still benefit Tesla. Right now Tesla faces a $7,500 disadvantage.........now they would only face a $2,500 disadvantage.
And to the consumer, a $2,500 difference between a Tesla and any non Tesla is pretty non material. Tesla's superior....well everything, compared to the competition won't make consumers think twice about that $2,500 difference.
Edit: MP3Mike pointed out something that is actually pretty interesting. The Ford Mach-E, the GM built EV that's being produced in Mexico, and anyone else with plans of making their EV's in China or Mexico will actually be put in a really tough situation because they'll be at a disadvantage to Tesla now.
The Mach E since it's not built in America and not by a American Union thus only qualifies for $7,500.

You are correct sir. Probably knew that question would be asked and didn't have a reasonable answer.
But he can still hold Mary Barra's hand
Maybe it's because she's the 'visionary' of EV's.Then we still get this nonsense. This is all about rust belt people and politicians scared about what the disruption will cause. To get around that Tesla has to play the game. It is a maturity thing really. I remember Microsoft and other big tech companies going through this. Microsoft used to do no lobbying. Then the effort to split Microsoft up came about and Microsoft and others said whoa we need to play the game. We arent immune.
The Mach-E would only get $7,500 under that right? Which would put the Model Y at an advantage... (Or would a Mexican union count for that condition?)

Real or not, I will never be able to unsee this from that event:
Biden just pointed to a Ford EV (i think the lightening) and said "0-60 in 4.1 seconds....all electric"

A more accurate response; "It would have been super enlightening to have invited a company with the depth of vision of the Hubble Space Telescope to a gathering of dinosaurs."
But then, the group gathered today would have had about as much of a chance comprehending what Tesla could offer them as... well, as a group of dinosaurs.
Why a disadvantage? Tesla employees could have a $1 a year union. It just won't be UAW. And it will negotiate on an all volunteer basis when the NEXT meeting will occur (around a year later).
just sayin .. numbers game

This is all that matters and this will be insanely good for Tesla.

This item is quoted from the Economist's daily Espresso briefing for today. Ostensibly it isn't about Tesla — but we can all read between the lines can't we?
Hope he reads his Twitter account, almost 100% of the replies are pro Tesla!
Perhaps AI day will unveil the unionized Tesla humanoid robot that blows electric leaf blowers over the cars at the end of assembly lines.
