    Bro. The rebates go to the buyer. They don’t go to the corps. It’s specifically targeted to make it cheaper for US residents to buy EVs in America.

    Edit: actually, more foundational question: do you understand the difference between production subsidy and purchase rebate? And do you understand that the rebate is not applicable outside of the US?

      So the company doesn’t get the sale price? Why does the customer need the rebate if they haven’t given the company that money in the first place?

      Do you not understand how a purchase works?

      Take your bad faith bullshit somewhere else.

          Yeah I tend to be a jerk when someone starts trying to sound smart by making distinctions without a difference as a way to cast doubt.
