If Biden thinks that Elon feels "snubbed" I suggest the president's team should spend a little more time on Twitter.
Tesla sells almost 54% of the EV's sold in the US, and is seemingly about 10-15 years ahead on battery tech. Not to mention the FSD architecture. Tesla definitely has some issues as a business, but their cars aren't one of them.
The message the White House just sent was they are more interested in building crap cars* with the "right" partners than actually meeting EV usage goals or building cars that will sell. Which now that I type it out seems pretty on brand for a Dem, and consistent with their other actions as well, so there you go. I guess next we'll get the .gov fiddling with CAFE standards again so that the EV's are the only cars that can be sold.
*In fairness the Mach-e and F150 Lightning seem like decent vehicles, UAW or no. The Bolt is a steaming pile of crap.
