      The trick would be to switch the handouts to big oil to electric car manufacturers to subsidize low end electric vehicles kinda like China is doing. I’m surprised Elon hasn’t pushed this grift already.

        Tesla wants to keep being a premium product, as that’s a higher profit margin.

        They keep saying they want to make a smaller / cheaper model but don’t deliver on that. Meanwhile many other brands have introduced models below the Tesla price point.
