Is anyone tracking the administration's EV tax credit proposal, and any potential timelines on when that might come out as a draft legislation introduced on the floor?

Could use some good news around here to change the narrative.

Present assumption is it will be rolled into the Biden Administration's infrastructure plan.

The administration is still trying to hammer out a bipartisan deal, but failing that the Senate parliamentarian ruled it can be passed with a simple majority via reconciliation.

Pelosi has signalled she wants the bill passed by August. And I think we'll learn more next week, as Biden is set to speak about his EV agenda at a Ford assembly plant while getting a preview of the F150 Lightning on May 19.
 
There was an Oval Office meeting today with Republican leadership. The only thing I heard afterwards was a question of the definition of “infrastructure”.
Biden and Dem’s are just offering the olive branch to republicans so that they can say they tried.......they’ll do this throughout May and then move on to pass it on their own after that. They’ve actually telegraphed this multiple times now

Just yesterday it was reported that republican negotiators specifically identified EVs as a section of the infrastructure plan they would not support in any final bill.
 
TL;DR: Looks like Binance is being investigated. In addition to the environmental side; in the eyes of the layperson reading the article; Elon's tweet on Bitcoin creates further distance & may be of relevance to the FUD machine .


"The news is sending another shock wave through the crypto market. Prices for Bitcoin (BTC) and other cryptos were already reeling from a tweet by Tesla (ticker: TSLA) CEO Elon Musk, who said that Tesla will no longer accept payments for its cars in Bitcoin."


"The scope of the Binance investigation isn’t known. But the market is interpreting it as the “start of a long-feared crackdown on the crypto space by the U.S. government,” according to BTIG analyst Mark Palmer."


"According to Bloomberg, “officials who probe money laundering and tax offenses have sought information from individuals with insight into Binance’s business.”

OooOo, they finally can write money laundering in the same article with Elon. Eat your heart out computer algro.

Which gives Biden/Dem’s the perfect excuse to go it alone. It would actually take much longer for the bill to pass if republicans actually wanted to negotiate because they would drag it along by saying they’re negotiating in good faith. But them acting the way they are, it makes it easy for Dem’s and especially the one moderate Democrat to say we have to do this on our own....and thus will speed the process up

In its intent to be an exponential growth company, Tesla should be putting all extra cash into its own business, e.g. factories, equipment, engineers and laborers. That's how it excels. Not cryptocurrency speculation.

Don't Pelosi's $500 TSLA calls expire before then ? Perhaps the bill might see it's way to a quicker passing.


"Paul Pelosi, who runs an investment firm, bought 25 call options on Tesla stock with a strike price of $500 and an expiration date of March 18, 2022. He spent between $500,001 and $1 million on them on December 22."


$1M in expiring call options have a way of sharpening virtually any politician's mental focus better than Adderall infused Ginko Biloba ; immediately defibrillating their environmental conscience.

Exactly, which is why Tesla need to use their official Twitter account and have someone man it - not to be a "funny" account, the big-sheep guy got a bit too out of hand, but disseminate company news and facts, counter FUD news with facts where possible, don't engage with people, just put information out there

Or use ir.tesla to be more "official"

To reiterate, I don't want any defending of the share price, but I want the company to be represented correctl
Indeed. At my old financial news TV program, well written press releases distributed by corporate communications departments were routinely accepted by our producers as authoritative and an easy way to present stories. Without them, baseless FUD can run rampant.
