Make it 1000%!
OPINION: The appendage swinging contest between the US and China continues, with China hitting back with a new rate of 125% on the US, up from the 84% announced earlier.
According to the latest figures, the Government's controversial 'clean car discount' scheme has seen buyers of 9,730 Teslas getting a combined total of $83m in rebates from the scheme - averaging about $8,500 a car.
Meanwhile, a regional breakdown of these sales shows that many of the suburbs where these cars are registered are well-known for their wealth.
The clean car discount scheme works by giving refunds of up to $8625 off the price of the cleanest new EVs when they are first registered and is paid for by slapping a $5,175 fee on utes.
It appears the country's ute buyers are subsidising the owner of Tesla - the world's richest person - Elon Musk to the tune of $30 million a year.
