Not a big fan of the DINO, but he has a good point, there is insane demand at current pricing. Incentives would go to the dealerships’ “Market Adjustment”.
“When we can’t produce enough product for the people that want it and we’re still going to pay them to take it — it’s absolutely ludicrous in my mind.”
I’d rather see it spent on charging incentives to apartments and perhaps the ability to drive directly from Dallas to Shreveport in anything but a Tesla. All interstates need 350kW+ chargers every 100 miles.
I like when he says “I am all for Green energy, BUT…”

He does make a good point:
If automakers are already selling every EV that they can make, what difference does the taxes credit make?
For example, Tesla has a long wait time for all its vehicles despite customers ***not*** getting the federal tax credit.
The government might as well use that money elsewhere such as by building charging stations.
