They'll love to delay! What they want is a Democrat government to give them the funds to transition to electric. They don’t take it serious enough to do it themselves.
I assume you mean "democratic government". The phrase "Democrat government" doesn't compute. Honestly, corporations looking for corporate welfare are more likely to get it from Republican-led majorities, particularly if that corporation in the oil/gas/auto business. At this point, I think the democrats are more likely to say "no" to the big automakers and oil companies.
If you recall, the auto-bailouts of 2008/2009 were conditioned upon the automakers accelerating their development of more efficient, more modern vehicles. Instead, they squandered the money by expanding the production of big vehicles like trucks and SUV's while stopping production of fuel-efficient passenger cars. I don't think this fact will fly over the heads of a democratically controlled congress/executive office.
Tesla will do well regardless of which party is in power but I do think the democrats are a lot more serious about addressing global warming and that democratic policies will benefit Tesla more than republican policies. Both in autos and energy.
