On Friday, US Treasury changed their position to categorize by nameplate, consistent with EPA Label (instead of EPA CAFE calculations). This moved all Model Y into the $80k truck and utility category. Tesla immediately raised the price of some Model Y because they still fit under the $80k. They had a couple weeks ago lowered those prices to fit under the $55k.

Right, my point is you continue to downplay the influence our government is having on automaker's internal decisions. They're scrambling. It's crazy incompetence. We have to throw out the tax incentives when touting affordable EVs because A. who knows what classifies in an apparently fluid situation and B. Not every American can benefit based on their tax liability.
