Does it apply to the Model X?

Environmental subsidies on a $100k car doesn't seem quite right... Doubly so if it applies to stuff like the Hummer EV.

Although, every Hummer that is replaced by a Hummer EV is a pretty big win.

No, 45k for cars and 60k for pickups , suvs, minivans.

But just to add to a reply. A Hummer EV charged with renewables is better than an SUV as long as it lasts more than x miles .

Obviously there's complexity about what it's replacing, where that goes blah blah

It is truly insane that its 15k more for large cars. Afaik its really bad that everyone has big cars when they absolutely dont need them. No matter if they are EVs they are still lot less efficient…

Seems like this could have been incentive for people to go back to normal sized cars - it should have been same or even more for cars than for large vehicles.

It helps create the economies of scale to make the supply chain more likely to support lower costs later.
