Any automaker is eligible for those subsides if they sell EVs (with a bonus based on US content). Their lack of will or ability to deliver is all that holds them back. Sell EVs if you want government support. I am unwilling to argue the merit of EV subsidies, that conversation has no value.
It’s amazing because Tesla built an EV that is wildly in demand roughly around the price of the average new car accounting for subsides. The Model Y was the best selling car globally last quarter, beating out Toyota.
Tesla makes their Chinese EVs in China and sources most of its supplies there. Almost all other foreign car companies in China are 51-49 join ventures (with 51 being the Chinese partner's controlling share) so they are also eligible for those subsidies.
