Interesting, but IMO it would be surprising if ICEVs got cheaper. The big
automakers have been purging afforda

Actually, I think he does care about Tesla, but not as an EV manufacturer.
He says that Tesla is a robotics and AI company, not an EV company.
He has to say that, because that'

Nope, but they do have the most popular car on the planet. (Not EV, Car)

Tesla Model 3 - $32k

It's going to be hard to decipher whether EVs are profitable or not for the big
automakers, unless you're a CPA and willing to dig really deep into their
accounting. Their public announcements are "spin doctored" to suit whatever

The only problem with that theory, is that it may kill off other EV makers,
but when ICE cars get cheaper (no need for expensive emissions controls)
and gas (drill baby drill) gets even cheaper, who will buy EVs? (Assuming
the Trump policies go unchecked)
According to this calculator, Gas prices,
My take is I'm not so sure Elon cares about Tesla as much as he does
SpaceX, He wants Trump in office so he can "DOGE-mantle" the EPA and FAA
and any other TLA that hinders his ambitions.
Yeah, Tesla will thrive without any tax credits, and this may even make
Tesla's offerings more compelling. Es
I believe it is perfectly logical for him to push for an end to the EV tax
credits. The rich will soon get some big tax breaks, so they won't be hurt
in any way. With the loss of tax incentives, the rest of us may buy fewer
competing EVs, thus helping to kill off Tesla's competition. When Tesla

Though, Tesla doesn't NEED the tax credit. They still make a profit on
