Will there be a Denmark next year?

This entire thread should be pulled instantly, if not sooner.
A 180% TAX on “luxury cars”? A guy like Bernie Sanders will jump on this way to “stick it to the rich” and make it a lead in his so-called platform.
Within a year the American auto industry vanishes and all new cars are stripped down imports.
The UAW, naturally, will back Sanders “brilliant” idea.

Without massive tax subsidies, Musk can’t sell his expensive status symbols.
Even rich people sometimes do math.

If a corporation can’t exist without government subsidies and tax incentives, then it should be allowed to die a natural death.

Tesla to fight Denmark’s new tax on electric cars

Never happen here. Nah!/snicker

[lormand]

Denmark has run out of other peoples money to fuel their socialist utopia. Something new comes along, tax it!

[BobL]

“We will contact the EU because we believe that the electric car agreement is anti-competitive and singles out Tesla.”

How TWISTED can a society get? Getting rid of subsidies LEVELS OUT the playing field. If Tesla has a product that is useful to people and reasonably priced, then why should they need subsidies?

[DakotaGator]

As a result, the costs of some popular electric models will skyrocket.

No. The costs, which includes taxes, remains the same. What changes is the government will no longer subsidize the tax. The purchaser will pay it.

Whether or not the tax is appropriate is an entirely separate issue...and one which applies to all vehicles.
