might want to kill EV incentives in the US because of Elon Musk’s politics, but the automaker is still lobbying for them in other markets.\nIt is highlighting Tesla’s clear problem of putting its CEO’s politics above its own mission. \n\nTesla is stuck in a weird situation in the US.\nA few years ago, the automaker was lobbying the Biden administration for a reform of federal EV incentives, which the government implemented.\nAt the time, its CEO Elon Musk, who has been on a “mission to kill the woke mind virus” since his daughter Vivian came out as trans, said that he was against extending the tax credit as he was already cozying up to right-wing politicians.\nBut his company was still lobbying for it at the time.\nNow, things are changing. Musk has become one of Donald Trump’s biggest supporters, and he has brought Tesla closer to his politics.\nTrump has made it clear that he wants to eliminate all EV incentives in the US, and this time, Musk is not the only one backing him.\nA recent report stated that Tesla communicated to the Trump transition team that the automaker is on board with killing EV incentives.\nThis is Tesla, which is 15% owned by Musk, but the board is firmly in his control, as evidenced by findings in his CEO compensation court case, aligning with its CEO’s politics in the US.\nIn other markets, things are different.\nA recently uncovered letter showed that Tesla approached the Labor Party following their recent win in the UK to lobby for more EV incentives and higher taxes on petrol vehicles, the exact opposite of what Tesla and Musk now stand for in the US.\nIn the letter addressed to the new minister of transportation, Tesla’s head of Europe, Joe Ward, acknowledges the UK’s need to reduce its emissions and how important electric vehicles are to achieve this goal.\nHe suggests that the government brings back stronger EV incentives by increasing taxes on fossil fuel-powered vehicles:\n\nPurchase incentives have been discussed at great length publicly, if Treasury were to consider any schemes, these should be revenue neutral. Given new fossil-fueled vehicles lock in high emissions and a price needs to be placed on this. The Government should ask if those still choosing to purchase a new polluting vehicle, to pay more. This could create a revenue neutral model to support ZEV uptake.\n\nThe Tesla executive is also lobbying for new autonomous vehicle regulations and has offered a test drive to the minister.\nHere’s the letter in full:\n\nElectrek’s Take\nIn the US, Tesla is arguing to remove EV incentives and in the UK, it is arguing to increase them.\nTo me, it looks like Tesla is stuck between a rock and a hard place – the rock being doing the right thing and the hard place being Elon Musk’s politics.\nIf Tesla were really looking after its mission to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport and energy, it would be advocating for a fair market where the external costs of fossil fuel-powered vehicles are accounted for and/or the benefits of electric vehicles are fairly compensated.\n\nTop comment by Gertrud\n\nLiked by 4 people\t\t\n\nElon is killing Tesla. In Germany he now openly supports the AfD, which is an extreme rightwing party with fascists like Bjorn Hoecke (not my judgment, German courts ruled that Hoecke can rightly be called a fascist). 80 % of the Germans strongly reject the AfD because there was something in the history of Germany ... And now they also strongly reject Tesla. Next problem: the 20 % supporters of the AfD don't like EVs. They like Russian natural gas, oil and ICE cars. Germany is the largest car market in the EU, but  there is not much customer potential left that would buy a Tesla. That's why new Tesla car registrations in Germany are down this year by 44%. And it's getting worse. In November the Tesla registrations were down by 55 %. The AfD also wants Germany to leave the EU and the euro. This would mean that Tesla would probably no longer be able to deliver the cars produced in Gruenheide to 26 EU countries without custom duties and that Tesla would have to factor in currency risks. \nView all comments\n\nThat’s precisely what it is doing in the UK, thanks to Joe Ward, but not in the US? Why?\nThe only answer to that question is Elon Musk.\nTesla is now putting its CEO’s politics above its own mission. Musk can’t come out for more taxes on fossil fuel-powered vehicles or more incentives for EVs because that goes against Trump’s politics, who he spent more than $250 million to put back in power.\nHe shouldn’t be in charge of Tesla anymore, and it can’t be clearer than with this situation.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"-1","news_tag":"policyRegulatory","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.29.3","shortVersion":"4.29.3","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2493811790"}
