$特斯拉(TSLA)$ Elon Musk刚嘲笑了Biden,现在要求人家推翻前任的行动,将对未能达到企业平均燃料经济性(CAFE)要求的汽车制造商的处罚提高了一倍以上。

特朗普政府在今年1月份的最后几天推迟了2016年的一项法规的实施时间,该法规将对未能达到企业平均燃料经济性(CAFE)要求的汽车制造商的处罚提高了一倍以上。

特斯拉建议NHTSA立即撤销特朗普的行动,并称它“在整合行业的投资和交易中产生了持续的不确定性”。特斯拉还认为“任何延误都将继续对信贷市场产生不利影响,直到问题得到解决”。

8月27日,特斯拉又单独要求美国第二巡回上诉法院迅速恢复处罚力度。该法院在今年4月份拒绝了特斯拉提出的在NHTSA审查之前立即采取行动的请求。

特斯拉表示:“NHTSA迟缓的规则制定速度带来了不确定性,这些不确定性因为可能出现的又一轮诉讼而变得更加复杂,且它还将持续数年时间。”

对此,包括通用、丰田福特和大众在内的多家大型车企的代表团体要求法院驳回特斯拉的请求。这个代表集团在一份法庭文件中称:“特斯拉可能会从它所积累的CAFÉ积分的价值中获得更多的确定性,但是这很难成为切断一个正在进行的行政程序的理由。”

WASHINGTON, Sept 22 (Reuters) - Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) is pressing President Joe Biden's administration and a U.S. appeals court to move quickly to hike civil penalties for automakers failing to meet fuel economy requirements.

Electric vehicle maker Tesla sells credits to other automakers to help them meet government vehicle emissions requirements, and says those credits are less valuable due to changes in rules made by former President Donald Trump's administration. Tesla met virtually on Aug. 30 with officials from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), according to a document filed by the agency last week.

On Aug. 18, the NHTSA issued a notice saying it could impose higher penalties for prior model years for automakers failing to meet fuel efficiency requirements but will first consider public comments.

Automakers have warned that hiking penalties could cost them at least $1 billion annually, both for failing to meet the rules and higher prices for credits used to meet the rules.

The Trump administration in its final days in January delayed a 2016 regulation that more than doubled penalties for automakers failing to meet Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) requirements.

The government memo said Tesla suggested NHTSA withdraw Trump's action immediately, saying it "produces continuing uncertainty in investments and transactions across the industry, and any delays will continue to have deleterious effects on the credit market until the issue is resolved." It added Tesla believes "any delays will continue to have deleterious effects on the credit market."

Tesla on Aug. 27 separately again asked the Second Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals to quickly reinstate higher penalties. The court rejected Tesla's request in April for immediate action pending NHTSA's review.

"The uncertainty perpetuated by NHTSA’s sluggish rulemaking pace is thus compounded by the likelihood of yet another round of litigation," Tesla wrote, warning uncertainty "may linger for several more years."

A group representing major automakers including General Motors (GM.N), Toyota Motor (7203.T), Ford Motor (F.N) and Volkswagen (VOWG_p.DE), asked the court to reject Tesla's request. "That Tesla might benefit from more certainty about the worth of the CAFE credits that it has amassed is hardly a reason to cut off an ongoing administrative process," the group wrote in a court filing.

Under former President Barack Obama, higher penalties were to start in 2019 model year, but Trump set the effective date as the 2022 model year. NHTSA is considering reinstating the Obama rule.

Those prior year CAFE penalties, which have still not been assessed, could cost Chrysler parent Stellantis (STLA.MI) hundreds of millions of dollars, while boosting the value of credits sold by Tesla.

Stellantis said in August costs related to potential higher CAFE penalties could be about 521 million euros ($609 million). Fiat Chrysler paid nearly $150 million for failing to meet 2016 and 2017 requirements.
