Are you still a Scout buyer without $7500 EV tax credit?

For everyone who thinks Trump will be getting rid of the EV tax credit, In his first term he could have easily gotten rid of it. The Credit was introduced back in 2008. If President Trump was to attempt to repeal the Act. It would be up to congress Which they would have to amend the law or they would have to pass a new law to eliminate the EV tax credit Act. He can put restrictions to make it harder to rig the system with the lease trick(which I’m sure has help plenty get EVs), which I feel we all can agree that it’s wrong to do that since it takes away from government funds but to each their own.
I hope that Trump will improve the situation for EVs on the market to compete with Chinese vendors. But I suppose that one can expect everything from Trump, a really unpredictable politician.

He is a businessman let’s remember. Thats where the unpredictable nature comes from but also he's very strategic. But i would like to see companies compete with China EVs but its probably better off to just keep them out of the US to protect the country’s Car Industry.

Do you ever stop and say 'Thank you for subsidizing my luxury vehicles' when you pass poor people on the bus or driving beaters because they can't afford two high-end Teslas but have to pay taxes for you to do so?

Edit: This is a serious question. I am genuinely interested in whether this thought process ever occurs to people getting tax credits on something like a Model Y Plaid.
I pay federal taxes, so the tax "credit" is just me getting $7500 back that I paid in.

Do you ever stop and say "You're welcome for subsidizing your large corn crop" to farmers as tax payers massively subsidize the corn industry?

I don't think any politician is going to do anything other than enrich the people and corporations who put them in power.

And say whatever they think the people in front of them want to hear, knowing perfectly well it will never come to pass and they have no intention of trying.

Then they just blame the other side, and their cheerleaders eat it up.

Electric vehicles have their foothold, there's 0 chance any politicians let people cut off their cats and roll coal cuz Merrica.
