Another two things to pay attention to. The eventual total removal of EV tax credits and the green credits which other companies have been buying from Tesla. Trump is also removing this. The former will make Tesla cars more expensive to buy. The later will directly hit the profit that Tesla has been registering. I heard it was around $2b a year. Ouch!

More smoke and mirrors. When will the truth be finally realised? Why no mention of the collapse of Cybertruck?
