    That is a hilariously myopic and egocentric way of looking at the situation, to the extent that it makes me suspicious that you’re on the conservative spectrum.

  Do you understand that free money on domestic purchases can be used however the corporation pleases? There’s not some magical divide.

    Bro. The rebates go to the buyer. They don’t go to the corps. It’s specifically targeted to make it cheaper for US residents to buy EVs in America.

      So the company doesn’t get the sale price? Why does the customer need the rebate if they haven’t given the company that money in the first place?

      Do you not understand how a purchase works?
