You're just being obtuse or can't operate a search engine I guess.
Tesla has taken far fewer subsidies than any other manufacturers and the 2008 and 2018 TARP bailouts were not to help manufacturers make EVs. They were to keep the floundering companies afloat. You may remember "too big to fail" ?
Yes, and I remember Solyndra. What's the point? GM is being subsidized to make EVs, and I am not good with that either. You seem to be insensible to the issue that the government is steering us into them by economic carrots and sticks, which has nothing to do with their merits.
I don't approve of subsidies for anything, so don't waste your time trying to use the "everybody does it" excuse. You think EVs are so great, you buy one and live with it. Don't force them down our throats. You also get to figure out where all the needed extra electric power comes from.
Lol ok bro.
You tried to say I was cool with child slavery but I can't say you're ok with subsidies ? (the giant bailouts that had nothing to do with EVs)
Tesla builds there batteries in Fremont California and soon in Texas but please keep swallowing that Big Oil load. Trump was in charge for four years already and we never stopped buying oil from foreign countries and we never will.
I'm not okay with subsidies and I said so. If you can't read, that is your misfortune. When Trump was in, we were a net exporter. The only reason any foreign oil was bought then was due to market mismatch among demand, availability of crude, and refining capacity. You are not opposed to coal, oil, or natural gas providing the electricity for your EVs, so your disparagement is hypocritical.
Can you set up a refinery in your backyard? I can and have set up a working solar array on my roof.
Let's talk energy independence and see who wins
When someone is getting there ass kicked in an argument they often try to put words in others mouths. It's called strawman fallacy. You have no idea what I'm opposed to other than paying foreign countries for oil.... Which will always have to do.
