Of course the subsidy causes an increase in demand. If EV's are so great they wouldn't need a subsidy. The real winner here is the ICE and levelin* the playing field between the ICE and EV actually hurts Tesla. But Twoothy lacks a 3rd grade understanding of economics and here we are.

JFC Jeff you are a ------- moron.
EV's being "great" is a small piece of the puzzle, you ------- dolt.
Have you ever heard of something called a Price?
How does Price work?
Does it have something to do with demand? Does it have something to do with the materials and labor to build the object that is the subject of the Price?
Are you aware that an industry has something called a capacity? That capacity is how many things can be built?
Did you know that building something like a completely new type of car requires ALL SORTS of NEW things, like new types of materials, new types of equipment, new types of labor skills?
Do you know that these things don't grow on trees, right?
You know it takes a huge investment (in capital, time and focus) to build out capacity on a new thing, right?
So, which company is going to be impacted more by cutting subsides, long term-the company with an established supply chain, industrial capacity and trained labor force or the company that is building their capacity?
You do realize that without the sales of their existing (smaller market share) EVs that the companies will have to invest their existing capital on what is now a less secure market, you get that right?
Now, I have made it all very simple.
You will continue to make your simpleton and ignorant arguments, because you are a piece of ---- troll.
BTW did you ever admit that the Republican senators are yielding their power to ----ler? You know, like you brag about, like when you make a mistake you admit it?
That's what I thought -------
