It can be argued that the IRA subsidy is somewhere between a Tesla and buyer profit ... depends on your point of view. Regardless, how much subsidy would Tesla have made in the USA: https://tridenstechnology.com/tesla-sales-statistics/ In the US, Tesla sold almost 181,000 cars during Q1 2023. Q4 of 2022: Model S 9,171 Model 3 55,030 Model X 6,552 Model Y 60,271 My estimate would be a maximum of $795,963,750 in subsidies. I used 100% of Model Y the the max, $7,500. Model 3 estimate is $3,750 for 1/3d of Model 3 and $7,500 for the rest. There are other losses from income level, make too much and no subsidy. But back of the envelope, a nice chunk of change.
