On: Tesla pushes U.S. to boost fuel economy penalties

[lscotte]

Tesla shouldn't get a say. They don't produce cars that use fuel so this is purely and obviously self serving.

> Tesla shouldn't get a say.

You make a fair point. But then again Congress shall make no law abridging the right of the people to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Obviously they get a say. Everyone gets a say. Even (hell, especially) for things that are "self serving". The government serves us all. We regulate for the benefit of society, not the industry being regulated!

Isn't Tesla's "angle" that they sell clean-air ev credits to ICE vendors, which are being devalued by the delay?

Only companies being fined should get a say in what the fine is? That is the opposite of how you address self-serving behavior.

Of course it's self serving. Why would any company lobby for anything that doesn't benefit itself?
