What Trump's Win Means For Tesla

[@chaseing_chase]

End subsidized thing for both oil and electric

[@TailosiveEV]

Oil subsidizes aren't going anywhere, Trump never claimed that

[@freddybell8328]

​@@TailosiveEVHe never claimed Trump claimed that. He's saying that's his optimal scenario.

[@jamesmoore560]

Drilling for more oil won't help, since we are already floating in oil.

[@Guerreropowerr]

Yeah if Elon has a good relationship with Trump, I'm hopeful the EV industry remains healthy, although Tesla will be just fine regardless.

[@h20dancing18]

Trump on charger costs was talking about a program that assigned billions in funding, only a small amount was spent and only a few dozen stations were installed

[@L6Jeremy]

I hope the tax credit doesnt go away...

[@JDMSwervo2001]

Why? If EVs are so good and affordable you should be able to buy it without the tax credit

[@kyzlekiko]

Most of the time the up front cost is what blocks people from getting one…

[@T1702B]

​@@JDMSwervo2001 What is wrong with you? If you think like that so everything that we pay with our tax money should be remove, Police officers, Fire fighters, everything that has to be paid with tax money

[@grouponful]

@@L6Jeremy it will. He said it would

[@BenefitOfTheDoubtInquiry]

​@@JDMSwervo2001 because gas car purchasers aren't paying the costs associated with the pollution and green house gases trapping heat generating massively destructive hurricanes. Instead they're fuel is subsidized by the federal government. Gas cars are vastly more subsidized than the EV credit.

[@darwinskeeper421]

I sincerely hope somebody talks Trump out of tariffs, the big thing they will do is increase the cost of anything that is imported. Anybody who doesn't believe that the higher prices won't be passed onto the consumer doesn't understand how business works.

[@Thebluebimmer]

Yeah Trump surely doesn’t know how business works. He’s only a billionaire after all

[@JDMSwervo2001]

EV tax credits need to end there’s already enough waste and abuse of our tax dollars

[@mcsike7264]

Same for oil and gas even playing field

[@samanthashoemaker5908]

​@@mcsike7264 I agree but Trump doesn't want to do since he gets money from Fossil Fuels

[@ccibinel]

Tax new ICE vehicles to offset the environmental impact rather than making specific EVs cheaper.

[@JDMSwervo2001]

Now we know that’s not happening

[@chaseing_chase]

I hope Trump doesnt end the Federal Tax Credit in 1 week lol

[@deej628]

How’s he gonna do that if he’s not in office for another couple months

[@himonstercartoons]

@@deej628 I believe that if he does we have until at least the beginning of 2026 for the tax credit

[@Nalla328]

Well navigated. It will be interesting to see how their “partnership” continues.

[@ConservatEV]

Cheaper energy doesn’t just mean oil and gas… it means electricity too. That will still give EVs an edge on cost per mile. Tesla semis suddenly look better, and with inductive charging even better still. Yes, that’s only theoretical but clearly Tesla is pushing hard for it and they tend to achieve what they push hard for. Eventually. In some form.

[@generallyhelpfulsoftware646]

Yes. Electricity is so expensive here in the NorthEast: 23¢/kWh compared to other parts of the country. If lower regulation leads to more nuclear, or cheaper natural gas and thus to cheaper electricity, an electric car makes more sense.

[@jacobB1290H]

Maybe LFP will come back once the tax credit goes away. The tax credit has been messing with teslas pricing structure from the beginning

[@BenefitOfTheDoubtInquiry]

Not if trump puts tariffs on imported batteries

[@lou7139]

I trust Elon will ensure Tesla will be ok in the long term whatever outcome it might be credit or no credit. Short term could face problems especially from a potential recession coming in a couple quarters as a delayed side effect from the policies of the current admin but long term should be fine.

[@bergbergberg4976]

not gonna get political.... start political theories 2mins in.... 😆

[@002mjr]

That was a nice fair breakdown

[@steinwaymodelb]

Vance has publicly suggested replacing the EV tax credit with a tax credit for any vehicles built in the USA. Naturally that's perfect for Tesla.

[@ascendantP]

Soon, all new government vehicles will be all Teslas

[@Derpy1969]

The CT will never get the tax credit, whether it exists or not.

[@Leonardokite]

To me bottom line, Aptera is the only vehicle that makes sense for me, a.k.a. myself my wife and my dog. The 400 mile range is far more than I need other than once every year or so. And for most use solar will be enough. For trips I can plug into a standard 110 on each end if I am not staying long enough for solar to recharge. Oh and I’m 100% against subsidies. The market should decide. But then I get the idea that it spurs on development and indeed EV’s are the future. But at this point, I think it’s about time to end it and let the market work. Again, I think once the Aptera gets loose it will become a must have phenomenon.

[@Aggie4life77]

Put that tax credit money towards building the charge infrastructure!

[@Luma_29]

I think it’s safe to assume that Tesla will ABSOLUTELY be staying on top. Other Chinese companies who may have considered coming to the US someday are completely out the window with these tariffs he’s planning to pass. Not saying this is for sure or anything but its always made me wonder why Elon was so damn persistent in getting Trump reelected, and that may be bc 1) yes he’ll get a massive tax cut but 2) with tariffs for other non-American EV companies like BYD are gonna be way more expensive.

[@IndigenousEarthling101]

Tesla cars began losing the EV tax credit at the end of 2018. Tesla was still losing money on their cars in 2018 and 2019, and only became profitable in 2020, without the EV tax credit. Tesla remained profitable in 2021 and 2022 without the EV tax credit and throughout 2023, the year in which Tesla's EV tax credit/rebate were restored under the IRA. Many of us may have forgotten, but Tesla remembers.

[@backdoormanintheend]

Thanks.

[@Hugo-py2ce]

Rates went up on the cybertruck about a week ago, from 5.1 to 5.5%

[@jayp.4381]

Musk tied himself to Trump for a reason... Elon will benefit somehow. Either Tax credits or cheaper vehicles, I'd be happy with either.

[@darwinskeeper421]

I suspect that Elon is primarily interested in lower taxes for billionaires.

[@generallyhelpfulsoftware646]

The US is running something like a 1.5 Trillion dollar deficit with something like 35T$ of debt. Is a tax incentive allowing the well off to buy luxury cars really something the government should be borrowing money to support?

[@inc0de]

Can you give us a recap on Canoo (GOEV)? Feels like they’re on the verge of collapse and losing more American EV manufacturers isn’t cool.

[@grouponful]

I wonder if Trump will fire him this time or if he'll quit trumps cabinet AGAIN... 🤔 He's like a battered house wife. Can't walk away even though Trump doesn't care about him or anyone. He used him for his money and fanme🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@bensondentalassociates8690]

Seethe

[@harveysmith4424]

I feel like it won’t be lost at least for Tesla or other manufactures that have a bigger push on American made parts because of all the work Elon put in to help get trump elected.

[@javeronh.3996]

if they take the tax credit away that would be great. because then lower taxes so I could keep my money and save to afford one, or at least afford to keep my house for my family. when oil was cheap we were able to save so much we were thinking about getting an electric car less than 2 years old. now I can only afford a vehicle that needs work just to go on the road

[@victic2277]

It is going to be an awesome full year.

[@Justin-oo3ci]

Abolish IRS for Tariffs

[@dougvaughan818]

If Rivian starts to fail what are the chances Fed steps in to save Rivian for the jobs?

[@ien2023]

cybertruck is not selling anymore and he not gonna have a tax credits??

[@chaseing_chase]

I believe everyone should have the choice to decide what car they want, even though I think Teslas are the future, i believe in choice of vehicle

[@badtoro]

Trump made it clear that he is anti ev but Elon can maybe lessen the impact

[@Kimbrough87]

Makes sense though if you can’t beat them join them 😅

[@cingkole7893]

12:20 YESSIR!!!

[@StarInfinite00]

Elon better get on his knees and start begging 😂😂😂. Also this is why Tesla should of focused less on vaporware and more on lower cost models like a smaller model 3 and Y

[@Tesla-Fan]

Bruh i feel like ur thumbnail for this video is manipulating. Why would you put CT photo?

[@bensontek]

my thoughts are that Elon is more intelligent than Trump so he will get what he wants. I have no concerns.

[@bob-qi4nr]

TRUMP 2024!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The canoo looked cool, but they're kind of going out of business right now so tesla robovan van it is!

All environmental incentives will disappear, meaning teslas solar and battery sales in the us will disappear
