I get it, Tesla's give you a hate boner.

But there are really good programs that work best for low income folks. https://www.mileagesmartvt.org/

I really like Teslas, but am sick of their design language.

The vast majority of green energy subsidies (EV rebates, solar panel kickbacks) have been used by the upper middle class and the wealthy in Vermont, particularly those who own a home.
Heck, entire solar panel fields were built as investments by rich out of staters who got a guaranteed high return via feed in tariffs.

The rural working class that has to rent a shitty, drafty 100 year old apartment and drive 35+minutes each way has been and currently is getting screwed by the green push from our legislators.
