>>510124577Elon started flipping out when he realized he wasn't going to be the shadow president. More recently, he flipped out over the BBB, not because of the EV credits, but due to the CAFE standards being essentially eliminated.
Many of his vehicles are too expensive for the EV tax credit and for those that are eligible, it's a smaller percentage of the price than for EVs from other companies. It was a nice way to make Teslas a bit more affordable, so maybe a few extra sales, but not really significant.
CAFE standards on the other hand was what was making Tesla its profit. When other car companies sold an ICE vehicle, they had to purchase a green credit from Tesla for most models. Manufacturers no longer are penalized for not meeting CAFE standard so they no longer have reason to pay Tesla a fee for most of their vehicle sales.
