>FWIW, in 2017 numerous nations are reviewing Tesla's eligibility for subsidies. The GOP proposes to end subsidies, as do Norway, Germany and others.


as Merkel currently is in Limbo trying to form a coalition, end of such subsidy is nowhere certain.

Tesla was bumped from german subsidy list as they built a car without most power draining niceties to reach the mileage, but won't sell that specific model - and building a special prototype is a no-no.
