"Tesla depends heavily on such subsidies for sales, and they tend to be in places with the largest subsidy programs."

If you look at all of Elon's businesses, they are all in sectors with either subsidies or major government contracts.

I feel sorry for German citizens if their government is going to extend subsidies to an American firm selling expensive cars. It's not like they don't have a few luxury car makers of their own. Maybe if those subsidies were for cars priced under 35,000 Euros.
