One thing the article is missing: the subsidy is explicitly limited to vehicles that cost less that 60.000€. One can say with pretty high confidence that this is done with the explicit goal of excluding Tesla&#x27;s Model S and Model X.<p>This would be somewhat understandable, given that the subsidy&#x27;s purpose is to give an upper hand to our own automotive industry in the electric market... if they had anything to offer. The updated BMW i3 is arguably the only German electric vehicle  worth mentioning. E-Golf utterly fails on range (pending a future update), and both Daimler offerings (electric Smart and the B-Class Electric Drive) are way overpriced for what they offer.
