Yeah, one was a $12.7 million from the U.S. gov't for the Supercharger network to build it out further. It'll be interesting to see if the Feds want that money back, now that he's gutted that team. I don't know if Tesla per se has received any other subsidies, but both Starlink and SpaceX are heavily funded by subsidies, and it's guaranteed that the Feds are looking very seriously at those orgs with the way that the Muskbrat has been behaving re Tesla.
The subsidies on purchasing their cars are complicated. Too many variables for me to talk about, but the subsidies do decline over time. There may also be some state subsidies involved, also. Newer EV makers and models get the most subsidies, but being new cars and makers, also have the most bugs to work out!
