Climate protection is moving back up on the list of priorities after Donald Trump's departure in the USA.
This could give a car manufacturer in particular a boost.
The
Tesla's stock
is flying high - and that this trend is not initially foreseen.
Now the
e-car pioneer
and his boss
Elon Musk have
a new
mega-deal - thanks to Joe Biden.
The new US president wants to
convert the federal government's
vehicle fleet
towards e-mobility.
Palo Alto / Washington -
Tesla
has made the transition from an innovative start-up to a giant in the automotive sector in recent years.
However,
Elon Musk's
empire
does not
seem to have reached its zenith
yet: After
Joe Biden took over
the office of US President from
Donald Trump
, the prospects are excellent that the electric car manufacturer will benefit enormously from the climate policy of Trump's successor.
There are several
reasons why
Tesla could
soon be catapulted into even higher spheres in terms of sales and revenue: On the one hand, there would be a planned amendment of the
tax laws in the USA
, according to which a credit of several thousand euros will soon be detached from the number of items sold by a manufacturer.
In addition, there is apparently a doubling of the current
e-car premium
of $ 7,500.
That would undoubtedly encourage more potential customers to buy a
Tesla
model.
Tesla beckons mega-deal from new US government - climate protection plays a major role
Separated from this, an announcement by
US President Biden is causing
the
Tesla
course to skyrocket: The new incumbent announced that the government's entire vehicle fleet should be converted to clean drives - and according to the 78-year-old, only models are included Electric motor in question.
A report by the
Reuters
agency reveals that this is not a manageable amount
: According to this, the American government currently has an unbelievable
645,000 cars
that are to be replaced by more environmentally friendly electric
cars
in the medium term.
So far, neither Biden nor the White House have commented when exactly the renewal of the vehicle fleet will begin.
However, it is obvious that
Tesla and Elon Musk
would benefit massively from such a deal: While
some automakers
outside the
USA have
meanwhile expanded their range of models with electric cars, the tech company from
Palo Alto has
almost a unique selling point in North America.
The guidelines of the new legislation state that government service vehicles must be built "right here in America by American workers."
Elon Musk and Tesla: Hundreds of thousands of electric cars for the US government?
One model seems predestined
As
Joe Biden
himself explained, products should not be taken into account even if important vehicle parts are manufactured abroad and only assembled on the domestic US market.
Tesla
is also
working
flat out
on expanding its Gigafactory network outside of the United States, but the components for the home market are produced in the United States.
With the
Tesla Cybertruck
, the company even offers an electric car that appears to be predestined for higher (government) tasks.
Recently, however, it became known that
Tesla
also has a problem in its home market: Due to faulty displays, the company has to order many thousands of vehicles back to the workshop:
In Germany, too,
Tesla is
confronted with a possible security risk: The Federal Motor Transport Authority is initiating proceedings against the US group.
The car expert
Prof. Ferdinand Dudenhöffer
recently
commented
on the steep development of the
electric car giant
- and calls for an increase in fuel prices.
