As Tesla’s Sales Dwindle, a Critical Revenue Source Is Running Dry

Despite the occasional stock market rally, Tesla is clearly struggling. The EV company, once the crown jewel of its industry, has seen steep declines over the past year, as its CEO, Elon Musk, continues to draw criticism over his political activities. Sales for the company are down all over the world, despite its recent introduction to new markets, like India. Now, as Tesla struggles to keep its head above water, another significant revenue stream is about to run dry, thanks largely to Musk’s fo

A big problem for Tesla isn't getting much attention

news.ycombinator.com Chris Isidore 2026-01-03 14:44:04

CNN — For years, Tesla has earned billions of dollars from its competitors just for selling electric vehicles. But that windfall is about to go away, just when the company may need it the most. Regulatory credit sales have been a huge source of revenue for the automaker, which currently faces a sales and profit slump. Legacy automakers purchase credits from Tesla to keep selling gas-burning cars that would otherwise violate emission regulations and cost them a fine. But the Republican tax and

The Big EV Tax Credit Mystery

If you’re thinking about buying an electric vehicle, brace yourself: the federal tax credits that offer up to $7,500 off new EVs and $4,000 off used ones could change as soon as September 30. But here’s the real issue: Nobody knows for sure what happens next. Carmakers, consumers, and even some dealerships have been operating under the belief that a signed contract before September 30 locks in the credit. But now, some automakers are quietly admitting that the IRS has not finalized that rule.

Car dealers are always advertising that now is the best time to buy, but if you're in the market for an electric vehicle, now might actually be the best time to buy.
