As bad as Tesla’s earnings report was, it includes *hundreds of millions of dollars* of regulated rebates. Without those, the company would have reported a LOSS. Remember that next time Elon rails against government regulations. - ThreadSky

Elon loves him some government subsidies.

The nice thing is that, by cashing in those regulated rebates (i.e., carbon credits), they have much less flexibility and liquidity going forward.

As we continue to reject their swasiticars, they'll start tanking hard.

How the hell did I stumble into this den of snakes and dragons? This thread full of blind-eyed rightists and republicans. Some of you with no knowledge of American history claiming that your ancestors “defeated slavery.” You fucking white Americans are clowns at best and dishonest rats on average.

I was wondering about that. Maybe even in the numbers published today some of the sales are to holding companies or others that let sales get booked (and green rebates claimed) but they are not sales to consumers they are just shell games?

More than likely... seems super sus that those cars sat on the lot for a hot minute and not even 2 days before the rebate expired they all sold.... like 🤷🏼‍♀️
