In the article, I see nothing that says either than Tesla has maxed out on its 
credits, or that they would be better off with the elimination of the tax 
credit.
The credits that Musk says are a "crummy business" are not the tax credits we 
are talking about. Those are California ZEV credits, which Tesla can sell to 
others. Even though they are a "crummy business", the ZEV credits are 
responsible for he profitable quarter, though they can't monetize them to the 
extent they think they should.

The elimination of the $7,500 tax break associated with EVs would be 
beneficial to Tesla since they have just about used up their allotted 
200,000 production allotted to each manufacture. It would level the playing 
field for them.  

Of Course it would hurt those who still have only partially used their 
allotment. For example it would make the Bolt and the Tesla 3 competitively 
priced, whereas with the 7.5 tax break, the Bolt will cost less when Tesla 
hits their limit.

Well written, Bruce.  Thanks for posting this.

If you're in the US (speaking to the entire list here, not just Bruce) and 
plan to buy a new production EV, you might want to keep a close watch on 
what congress may do with the $7.5k tax credit in 2017.
