Tesla Having 10 Percent Of Danish and Norwegian Sports Car Market. Oh, And They Are Profitable (Video)
Electric cars are all the rage currently and in many ways its also the holy grail of Detroit and thus plays a disproportionately large role in the US politics.

Whether this was just an indirect subsidy to Detroit or a real environmentally responsible policy is another discussion.
