Tesla Urges US to Keep Emissions Rules Meant to Boost EVs

On September 25, 2025, Tesla Inc. asked the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to maintain ambitious tailpipe emissions standards, filing formal comments opposing rollbacks in response to the agency's request.
In its filing, Tesla opposed rescinding the 2009 Endangerment Finding, urging the EPA to preserve the lawful rule based on a robust scientific record supporting multibillion-dollar investments.
Tesla noted it earns revenues by selling emissions credits, generating hundreds of millions in revenue annually, and acknowledged complexity while supporting compliance streamlining proposals.
Breaking from peers, Tesla's stance opposes allies of President Donald Trump despite Elon Musk's $300 million support, as observers say Tesla's market share could influence policy outcomes.
Tesla's intervention highlights broader risks to EV adoption as rollbacks tied to recent Supreme Court rulings could advantage internal-combustion automakers and reshape environmental accountability.
