The political party that ignored Tesla’s accomplishments because of union politics?

The further subsidies were not "ignoring achievement" they were subsidies that were shifting to include union labor.
The idea that it has anything to do with Tesla, as opposed to anything else, is a bit weird.
If one or two Republicans like the idea of EV subsidies without union labor, their votes could have shifted everything. But of course, there was universal condemnation of these polices by all Republicans.

At the time of Biden's electic car summit in 2021 to which Tesla was not invited, Telsa had 75% of the EV market in the US.
The idea that US's EV policy didn't have anything to do with its largest EV company is perhaps surprising.
