When a headline is this catchy, first assumption should be that
it is bullshit.
Ford
lightning buyers
already
receive the $7500 credit. The
causes of the price increase are likely twofold:
1) If your product has 100s of thousands of reservations,
you can probably charge more.
2) To qualify for the new $7500 credit, a significant amount of
the batteries in EVs have to be built in the US and materials
sourced either from the US or from free-trade allies. That’ll be
more expensive, but worth it to decouple us from China, hence the
credit to offset it.
The truth is almost all EVs will NOT be eligible for the new tax
credit at first. Lots of supply chains to move around.

Let’s spend more and Continue printing dollars and then tax the
heck out of people and give a rebate to those who spend - May as
well directly give the money to the car companies LOL

Fact Check: I can't verify that the Cernovich tweet is correct
about widespread price increases of EV cars following new law.
I'm following as I'm trying to buy one. Maybe Ford
Lightening has gone up but can't verify others
