Every new technology starts out as luxury products for the rich. Consider automobiles a century ago...
And I'll agree with the "throwing tax dollars" part, if you make it a general principle. However, if those dollars are going to be thrown somewhere (and it seems that in the current political climate they are), I would much rather see them thrown at companies like Tesla and Aptera, than at say GM.
Which, BTW, also makes luxury products for the rich. Financially, for me there would not be that much difference between say a new Escalade or (a couple of years ago) a Hummer and a Tesla, and the Tesla would be far more suited to my usual driving.
