Biden and his administration have gone out of their way to pretend that Tesla does not exist. <https://www.eenews.net/articles/why-biden-wont-talk-about-te...>

Tesla was not invited to the administration's August 2021 EV vehicle summit. <https://www.cnn.com/2021/08/05/business/tesla-snub-white-hou...> The government excluded the nation and the world's EV leader from participating.

If the administration could have figured out a way of excluding Tesla from the EV tax credit system, it would have.

Oh, but they actually really tried at first. Like for example by considering Tesla Model Y as a sedan, thus not qualifying for a higher tax credit ceiling.
