Summary
The Trump transition team plans to dismantle key support for the US electric vehicle (EV) market by eliminating the $7,500 federal EV tax credit and diverting funds from EV charging stations to securing battery materials as a “national-defense issue.”
This marks a major shift from Biden’s policies, which prioritized rapid EV adoption and a domestic battery supply chain.
The plan includes imposing tariffs on battery parts and materials globally, with possible exemptions for allies.
These changes are expected to slow US EV growth, further widening the gap with Europe and China.
First of all, this thread was about whether Tesla will be affected by Trump’s plans to sabotage EV or not.
Second the general fallout will be there, regardless of who someone voted for. The face eating comment is more about people who did vote for something and got hit by it, regardless of their motive to vote for it - if you were thinking you would be a target, you’d have vote differently. So I don’t see a real difference between “x voted for Trump because they are a Trump fan” and “x voted for trump to show Kamala/Biden” or any other reason.
