That's what I'm saying.... there's not enough money in the 25b to give out. That $150 figure was how much each voter would have to pay to reach 25b (therefore, that 25b would take $150 off the price of the car, not $10K), not how much that would need to be paid to reach $10,000.... Which is why I wanted to hear more from RH77
