The old incentives are not expiring. Every other company will have the opportunity to partake in the exact same opportunity and incentives Tesla did.Frankly, I find this whole Elon not wanting USA subsidies to continue a bit hypocritical. They benefited greatly when others were trying to follow and if their MISSION STATEMENT is still “to accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy” then they should be just as happy that other fast (or slow) followers get the same benefits and incentives that Tesla did. If not, It rings a bit hollow to me at least.
They can get incentives to produce 200k vehicles. They can use it wisely as Tesla did. Or squander it as GM did.
The current state actually gives the advantage to Tesla’s competitors like Ford and Rivian for several years.
