...they didn’t cancel the Bolt. My guess is that it offsets emission regulations (against big trucks). The federal subsidy was a huge part of making the vehicle viable for consumers. This would hit them hard.

I’m not sure it’ll hit Tesla quite as hard - they’re not selling any configured for less than $50,000 and there’s plenty that would pay more, so I’d doubt it’ll impact them much.

Both Tesla and Bolt have reached the 200,000 unit sold plateau so any car delivered this year still qualifies for the full subsidy. Next year Jan-June it is reduced and July to Dec it is reduced further and the ends in 2020.

Somes states also have subsidies like CA, TX, and CO.

Yes they did: These 6 GM vehicles are ending production.
