HMM: Tesla and Mercedes-Benz to compensate for loss of German EV subsidies. “The German government announced that it will abruptly end its subsidy program for electric vehicles on December 31, which has dealt a blow to automakers in one of its biggest European markets. But Tesla and Mercedes-Benz say that they will compensate for it, covering the full price of the subsidy for German buyers, with other automakers joining in.”

If this keeps up, someday we might even get an idea of what these cars really cost.
