> and government subsidies

What government subsidies has Tesla received to date? Please post links to sources.




Interesting it makes no mention the federal loans were repaid in full, early, with interest.[1] As apposed to GM & Chrysler who got billions in bailouts that were never repaid. [2]

Hope those goal posts aren't too heavy


Is a loan a subsidy?


I'm not partial to any side in this debate, but the second table in the linked document is called "LOAN / BAILOUT SUMMAY"


So what? you asked about A, you received A, now you whine "why don't you mention B!?!"

The discussion is about subsidies not loans or bailouts (which are different things)
