"only "profitable " because other car manufacturers pay penalties – to Tesla – for not making their CO2 targets."

There is a rumor that GM loses money on every Bolt they sell (aside from the battery recall which is LG anyway). This is why they limit production. They get carbon credits that make it possible to sell giant trucks and SUV with sky high profit margins and pay less than what they have to pay Tesla to buy some of theirs. I see the whole carbon credit scheme as government mucking up something that only makes things worse as people game the system.
