President Joe Biden Finally Says the Word Tesla
Posted On: February 9, 2022

President Joe Biden has finally uttered the word 'Tesla' in a speech, recognizing the company as the country’s 'largest electric vehicle manufacturer.'


Since Biden’s Presidency began in 2021, he has recognized the U.S.’ need for electric vehicles. However, Biden has stuck to commending legacy automakers like General Motors and Ford, two companies who have notable E.V. programs, but not to the capacity that Tesla does.


Earlier today, Biden delivered a speech, which the White House labeled as "President Biden Delivers Remarks on Rebuilding Our Manufacturing to Make More in America." It was the first time Biden recognized Tesla by name.


"Since 2021, companies have announced investments totaling more than $200 billion in domestic manufacturing here in America. From iconic companies like G.M. and Ford, building out new electric vehicle production [facilities], to Tesla, our nation’s largest electric vehicle manufacturer, to innovative, younger companies like Rivian, building electric trucks, or ProTerra, building electric buses."

My Take: The UAW isn't going to like that. I guess the president was getting nervous with all the public pressure.
