Fred Lambert: 我认为特朗普政府取消电动汽车税收抵免政策的可能性很大。这将对美国电动汽车市场产生重大影响,因为美国电动汽车的销量增长速度低于世界其他地区,税收抵免政策对销量增长至关重要。取消税收抵免政策将导致美国电动汽车市场落后于世界其他地区,并可能损害美国汽车制造商的竞争力。虽然特斯拉支持取消这项政策,但我认为这并不公平,因为特斯拉利用政府补贴获得了发展优势,现在却试图取消这些补贴。 此外,取消税收抵免政策可能会促使符合条件的美国买家短期内购买电动汽车,特斯拉需要一个创纪录的季度来弥补可能造成的损失。特斯拉正在提供大幅折扣以刺激销量,但其他汽车制造商,如福特,也正在提供大幅折扣。 总的来说,我认为取消税收抵免政策将对美国电动汽车市场产生负面影响,虽然特斯拉可能短期内受益,但长期来看,这将损害整个行业的健康发展。 Seth Wintraub: 我认为埃隆·马斯克一直以来都反对政府对电动汽车的补贴,他认为政府应该减少开支。他将担任德国政府部门的负责人,负责提高政府效率。虽然他反对对电动汽车的税收抵免,但也反对对化石燃料的补贴。 特斯拉游说拜登政府通过税收抵免政策,而埃隆·马斯克却表示反对,这表明特斯拉与埃隆·马斯克的利益并不完全一致。埃隆·马斯克认为取消税收抵免政策会提高电动汽车价格,从而减少电动汽车销量,但这也会减少竞争,最终使特斯拉受益。 取消税收抵免政策会损害其他汽车制造商,而特斯拉由于其规模和效率优势,将能够更好地应对这一挑战。埃隆·马斯克认为,取消税收抵免政策虽然会短期内损害特斯拉的销量,但长期来看,这将减少竞争,最终使特斯拉受益。
