Tesla was even worse.

There is a government payment for electric cars. But they didn't want the tax-payer to fork out for rich B'stards buying luxury cars so they set a price limit.

So Tesla sold a version of their car for $(incentive limit - 1) with range limited in software to almost nothing. But you could then buy a software upgrade which restored the full range and cost exactly the difference between the incentive meeting price and the retail price
