juiced

The fear of missing out on expiring tax credits juiced electric-vehicle sales last quarter.

A flurry of corporate dealmaking has also juiced optimism.

Tesla earnings dived despite growing vehicle sales, which were juiced by a rush to buy before the expiration of a federal tax credit.

Grizzly’s June 2022 report claimed Nio had “juiced its numbers” and likened the Nio-Weineng relationship to that of Philidor and Valeant, which engaged in a multimillion-dollar kickback scheme that resulted in multiple executives being sentenced to prison in 2018.

Tesla rolled out a pair of new vehicles starting below $40,000 in the U.S., a price that could open up more of the auto market to the electric-vehicle maker and help offset the expiration of a $7,500 federal tax credit that had juiced third-quarter sales.
