The sources also said that Tesla representatives are in support of ending the subsidy, but this seems hard to believe considering the company said it would use credits to launch their next-generation vehicle platform, set to release in the first half of next year, to get the price point under $30,000.

Musk said during the Q3 earnings call:

“Yeah. It will be like with incentive. So, $30K, which is kind of a key threshold.”

However, Reuters’ report indicates Tesla would support removing the credits:

“Ending the tax credit could have grave implications for an already stalling U.S. EV transition. And yet representatives of Tesla – by far the nation’s largest EV seller – have told a Trump-transition committee they support ending the subsidy, said the two sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity.”
