…Tesla - by far the nation’s biggest EV maker - have told a Trump-transition committee they support ending the subsidy…Elon Musk, one of Trump’s biggest backers and the world’s richest person, said in July that killing the subsidy might slightly hurt Tesla sales but would be “devastating” to its U.S. EV competitors, which include legacy automakers such as General Motors.
Jesus. So much for the idea that Tesla is working to accelerate the transition from ICE vehicles to EVs.
I will never buy a fucking Tesla. Ever. I would buy a Chevrolet Equinox EV, and I encourage anyone who is in the market for a new vehicle to buy one before the tax credit goes away.
Edit: I would also get the Honda Prologue. It’s also eligible for the $7,500 tax credit. So is the Volkswagen ID.4.
Their volt program was excellent. Gen 1 volts are tanks. I have a gen 1, and gen2. The gen2 has 1 big issues with a free recall to cover it. Still a great car.
Bolt is good too so far. I got one with a replaced battery from the recall.
Well that’s good. I still don’t trust Chevy’s build quality since every one I’ve driven in the last couple decades had problems bad enough for recalls. Also the interior trim of everything just feels cheap to me. We went with a Japanese PHEV instead

After driving several Chevy vehicles over the years, I’d never buy one myself. Would definitely not trust them to make a good EV.

The VW ID4 is currently under a stop sale because it keeps catching on fire
Are Teslas cheaper than the others?
