California is bringing electric vehicle tax credit back 'despite federal interference'

Tesla sales are expected to take a significant hit because of the premature federal tax credit expiration set by the White House administration. The EV subsidy ball is now in the individual states' court, and California will be leading the compensation game.

Cutting off subsidies does not equate Federal interference. If California wants to resume and pay subsidies that's on them.

Newsom will steal the money earmarked for tax credit and will blame Trump for doing so

More money for politicians to siphon for themselves, just like the 20 billion that was allocated to "fight" homelessness. And countless other programs where money is spent with no accounting of where it actually went and what it did.

I propose California pay for it them selves and not take any federal money directly or not.  This will show the rest of the US that California isn't just eating money

And a lot of poor people didn't get the $4,000 used electric car tax credit because one rich person had owned it previously.

Reaching 15% market share in the US does not require yet more subsidy. It was creating a weird distortion in EV pricing that needs to go back to normal competitive pricing terms. The lack of a decent EV below $30k was indicative of the distortion. The people most interested in low dollar EV's are people who drive 95% around town for work or errands. Not for road trips.
