"Under the program, the administration is required to give priority in retooling money for factories that are at least 20 years old, and the money can only be spent on engineering work in the United States. The loans can also only cover a portion of the costs for building new models. "
So Tesla attempts to be smart with the money it gets in the loan, and the bean counters at benz add up as much of the "engineering" costs it will do on the mod S to be counted as a "portion" of the loan? Would raise the share benz has in tesla if counted this way? |
