[cuban leaf]

Literally, taxing breathing.

My understanding is that Tesla makes a ton of money selling carbon credits to car companies that make primarily ICE engines. But now that car companies are starting to make their own e-cars, Tesla is not able to sell as much.

But if Tesla is one of the few companies that makes all e-cars, then they can still stay ahead of their competitors by having them taxed on the part of their fleet that is still ICE.

Nothing like using the dead hand of government to "compete" in the market.
