Re: [EVDL] A Bolt EV experience ...
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.

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.
