... I hate Tesla as much as the next free market conservative (for building his business on Government subsidies and "carbon credits")

Aren't you directing your ire at the wrong entity? If you have a bunch of economic idiots making laws that affect the market, do you get mad at the person who takes advantage of the stupid law, or the people who passed the law? Most tax laws distort the allocation of resources...except a Flat Tax (not a Fair Tax). If you had a Flat Tax with no exceptions and no deductions, the allocative effects of the tax are neutral. Indeed, you could file your tax return on a post card.

You’re right, I’m also angry at Congress and the President for going along with the subsidies and carbon credit crap, but I’m sure Elon had his lobbyists working overtime to get that stuff passed.
