September 26, 2025000
- Company filed comments asking EPA not to repeal federal vehicle GHG standards or the longstanding finding that greenhouse gases endanger public health
- Tesla said repeal would give engine and vehicle makers a pass on measuring, controlling and reporting GHG emissions; argued rollback undermines investment incentives and creates uneven playing field
- Filed amid separate automaker group request to weaken EPA limits; Tesla warned dismantling rules could cut billions in future regulatory-credit revenue
- Company previously disclosed $2.8 billion in global regulatory-credit revenue in the prior year; cited as at-risk if rules are rolled back
