...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.

I'll honestly buy a Toyota, Honda or Hyundai before I ever buy a GM.

The first two are built here in North America and give jobs directly to my friends.

GM and fuck off an die. They've turned out turds for 30 years now and don't deserve to be helped to stay afloat.

The only legacy NA car manufacturer I'd consider is Ford.

But yeah, you'd be a goof to invest in a Tesla vehicle at this point.

1000% agree GM is always a no buy.
