Is there a way to find out who at the IRS worked on and approved these rules for SUVs to have a certain number of rows, capacity or height? I think they’d be more likely to respond if thousands of people emailed them rather than signed a petition.
Not sure how to identify those people, but chatGPT has got us covered on the email body:
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to express my concern about the EV tax credit bill that is currently in place in the United States of America. I believe that this bill is fundamentally unfair and targets Tesla, a leading manufacturer of electric vehicles, in a way that is not justified.
One of the main issues with this bill is the inclusion of the so-called "lease bypass rule," which allows anyone to receive the tax credit on any EV via customer leases. This is particularly problematic for Tesla, as the company does not have a leasing arm and therefore cannot take advantage of this rule in the same way that other manufacturers can. This effectively disadvantages Tesla and gives an unfair advantage to other companies.
Furthermore, the bill allows a number of hybrid vehicles to receive a $7,500 EV tax rebate, even though this is supposedly an EV tax credit bill. These hybrid vehicles - including the Audi Q5 TFSI e Quattro PHEV, BMW X5 xDrive45e, Ford Escape Plug-in Hybrid, Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe, and Jeep Wrangler - have an effective MPG ranging from 20 to 61, significantly lower than the Tesla Model Y, which has an effective MPG of 127. It seems unfair to allow these vehicles to receive a tax credit while the Tesla Model Y, which has a much higher efficiency, receives nothing.
In conclusion, I urge you to consider the unfairness of this bill and the negative impact it could have transitioning our country toward a sustainable and cleaner future.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
