Hopefully out of this we can just get a carbon tax instead of a credit system.

It is pretty funny though how much money Musk spent on somebody that just wants to dismantle his empire. If only he read Project 2025.

Yeah, but no-one outside of the USA will buy their shitty cars. So ultimately, they won't be competitive and will go under.
How wonderfully forward looking.
I couldn't get past the Bloomberg terms to even read that story. Oof. They are less news-like every day...
No they won't almost all the money difference is r&d costs that not only are already spent and thus sunk costs, but they still need to invest as not only does other countries demand it, it is a safe bet that there will be a legal change in a few years going back.

all they can do is maybe make some cars that currently are non-compliant but they will only do that if the jigs are still around and in good shape. They will not invest millions recreating worn out jigs that are not compliant and thus at risk of being useless whet the rules change again.

manufactures want consistency and predictability of policy because they have to make long term investments. This looks short term and so while they might take advantage it doesn't change much and in turn doesn't save much if anything.

This is a smart move based on how far behind the US grid is in supporting EV charging.

People without homes still have no convenient charging means due to Biden’s amazing skill of spending on infrastructure.

Shifting the blame once again to the environment and the tax payer.
I know one thing all americans agree on is that they like their air thick and smoggy. Ask anyone, "do you wnat the air dirtier?" and they say "hell yes!"
