"rich people" in your mind is who, exactly? Here in Canada only cars below a certain MSRP qualify for subsidies, so "luxury barges" are not subsidized. Also, a $50K car is not luxury anymore, have you seen car prices recently? New ICE cars are expensive as hell too!

I'm talking about people making into the 6 figures, they don't need help from subsidies to buy cars. That's just giving well to do people money to give to rich corpos ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ but ur absolutely right all new cars are getting too damned expensive!
