The tax incentives in question the remove a fair portion of the tax penalty apply to all electric vehicles, not just Tesla. The "relief" for Tesla isn't accidental.

I would say you'd be correct if the benefits applied solely to Tesla vehicles, but not in this case.

My meaning was more that it depends on how well the laws captured the intent of the societies.

The nice subsidies on expensive electric vehicles may or may not leave a bad taste in the mouth of voters there (I haven't tried to figure out what public sentiment is).

I could not find the answer to this with some quick googling. I too would be interested in the answer.
