So the automaker is putting the word out that if you place an order for a Tesla by October 15th, you’ll still be eligible for the full credit and get your car before the end of the year. Tesla has struggled with production and a big jump in orders could strain the company even more, but damn if it’s not a smart way to boost sales as much as possible before the year is out. 2nd Source: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-tesla-tax-credit/tesla-says-orders-placed-by-oct-15-eligible-for-full-tax-credit-idUSKCN1MM0L9 This means Tesla has until the end of the year to hand out full tax credits, which could invite a further rush of orders and hit the company’s already strained production and delivery chain. So I replied: Damn, I saw a local Ford dealer ad on TV this morning. G*d damn, there was a GM ad too. So our new style guide is to curse when a car maker tries to increase sales? Perhaps we should find something better than “damn” to express grudging astonishment Sorry if I've violated local standards just I don't cotton to double standards. Bob Wilson
