The Tesla Vigilante

Would like to have a Model S but this is another reason I probably won't ever have one. Tesla charging station showed up at our local mall a few years ago but I'd bet there aren't 10 Teslas in the whole county.
 
How much does a Tesla Model X cost?

How Much Is a Tesla Model X? Known for its "Falcon Wing" doors, the Model X SUV is the most expensive Tesla currently available.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. automakers and dealers are scrambling to figure out if they can still offer $7,500 tax credits to would-be buyers of electric vehicles (EVs), as Congress prepares for final votes today on a bill that includes a top-to-bottom overhaul of Washington’s clean vehicle policies.
Under the $430 billion climate, health care and tax bill that the House of Representatives is set to vote on Friday, rules governing the current $7,500 EV tax credit aimed at persuading consumers to buy the vehicles would be replaced by incentives designed to bring more battery and EV manufacturing into the United States.

From above:
NO LONGER ELIGIBLE
The most immediate effect of the Inflation Reduction Act would be a ban on tax credits for vehicles assembled outside North America. That would mean about 70% of the 72 current EV and plug-in hybrids on the U.S. market would no longer be eligible, said the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, which warned the change “will surprise and disappoint customers in the market for a new vehicle” and “jeopardize” EV sales goals.

New restrictions on battery sourcing and critical minerals, along with price caps and income caps, take effect on Jan. 1, which will potentially make all current EVs ineligible for the full $7,500 credit.

BINDING CONTRACT
The bill does allow consumers to still get the credit if they buy before Biden signs the bill into law, but must have a “written binding contract” to purchase.
