Wow! That was my point.
These are compliance cars and not very good cars at that. They were forced top
make them and wouldn't have sold hardly any without the incentive.
Heck, Nissan admitted that their highest selling city was Atlanta. Georgia had
a $5000 tax credit on top of the $7500. As soon as they remove it sales will go
to zero because it is a false economy. people always want something cheap or
free.
I own a 1-MiEV as well because I live in Alabama and I can go to Atlanta and
buy a used one for $5000 but i also own a Model 3 and there is no comparison.
Tesla's will sell no matter what the price because they are good cars. Nissan
said for years they were loosing money on every car along with the other
manufacturers.

Without the tax credit, I would not own two imievs. Probably not even
one. The tax credit was nearly half the price of the 2nd imiev and
nearly one third the price of the first. For Teslas, the tax credit is
no more than about 10% of the price.
Tesla has been at a disadvantage compared to lower priced EVs. And now
that they are poised to produce an EV priced where the tax credit would
be significant, their eligibility is going away.
