Obvious that the writer has submitting against Tesla. Instead of showing that Tesla has brought more US made batteries and production to the US so it's eligible to offer yet another car eligible the tax credit, you instead say it's nefarious or illegal n some way.

Tesla has come up with a devious new tactic to comply with the latest US IRA tax incentive requirements.

Buyers eligible for the IRA tax incentive end up with a more expensive battery pack.
