How is Newsome's Tax Credits Legal?

[Husker_Du]

Tax credits to Cali automakers for EV's....

except Tesla.

isn't this clear partisan policy?

why wouldn't / shouldn't Elon move his manufacturing to another state?

I am very curious if Trump even attempts to bite the hand that feeds him by attempting to eliminate EV tax credits given that Tesla is the greatest source of liquid wealth of Elon Musk.

fair point. but separate topic.

I can't find the language of the actual proposal, but it's being framed as a program to help smaller companies (they're saying it's directed towards smaller companies/car producers), so that's how he would be trying to get around the idea it's an attack on Elon's company.  I see both sides of that particular argument, I probably would not exclude Tesla were I drafting it.

actually, WKN is right from what i just read. 

i thought that Newsome was doing that regardless, but according to this, it's contingent

wait up. it's become clear that twitter account is wildly insane. i'll look for another source (unless one of you find it first).

Elon has indicated that ending the credits would probably be beneficial to Tesla.

Yes, in the sense that it would hurt his competitors more than him. He said that on an investor call. But, I am not convinced he is really for it, as much as he is trying to calm investors.

The bigger threat to Tesla is if they decide to eliminate carbon credits. I just cannot see

Is it possible he can lower his price and reap that benefit?
