The climate bill won't pass in current form because of Manchin whose wealth is based on coal, so we'll have to see what gets cut.

X5 owners could get the extra incentive for being US made, but won't get the Union incentive. Neither would Tesla, Honda, Toyota, etc.. It's really crafted to benefit US automakers.

IMO, the $80k hard cap outweighs these new incentives. In 2030, that $80k will actually be $61k in present terms, which will disqualify a ton of SUVs or performance vehicles, which are the vehicles that need hybrid or EV versions the most. That $80k cutoff will include options, which hurts luxury brands more.
