Reported Sunday, U-Haul Adds Climate-Controlled Storage Units In Marietta With New Two-Story Facility

Customers in the U.S. looking to purchase an electric vehicle can get a $7500 federal EV tax credit for several models including from Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), and more. However, President Donald Trump on Monday said that his administration would consider ending tax credits, impacting the purchase price for eligible customers.
Vehicles That Qualify: The various Tesla electric vehicles eligible for $7,500 include select trims of the Cybertruck, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y. Other brand vehicles that qualify include the Kia EV9 and selected trims of the F-150 Lightning truck.
The only Plug-in Hybrid that qualifies for the credit is the Chrysler Pacifica PHEV.
The list of vehicles that qualify for the tax credit right now is as follows:
<ul>
<li>Acura ZDX</li>
<li>Cadillac Lyriq (Luxury and Sport Models)</li>
<li>Cadillac Optiq</li>
<li>Chevrolet Blazer EV (LT, RS, and SS Models)</li>
<li>Chevrolet Equinox EV (LT and RS Models)</li>
<li>Chevrolet Silverado EV (LT Model)</li>
<li>Ford F-150 Lightning (Flash, Lariat and XLT Trims)</li>
<li>Honda Prologue</li>
<li>Jeep Wagoneer S</li>
<li>Kia EV6</li>
<li>Kia EV9</li>
<li>Tesla Cybertruck (Single Motor and Dual Motor)</li>
<li>Tesla Model 3 (Long Range AWD, Long Range RWD, Performance variants)</li>
<li>Tesla Model X (AWD Variant)</li>
<li>Tesla Model Y (Long Range AWD, Long Range RWD, Performance variants)</li>
<li>Chrysler Pacifica PHEV</li>
</ul>
Trump&#8217;s Take On EV Tax Credits: In November, Reuters reported that Donald Trump‘s transition team plans to kill the $7,500 tax credit available on EV purchases. On Monday, after his inauguration, Trump himself said his administration would consider ending EV tax credits.
&#8220;The Republicans have a very small majority in the House, which could make it hard for the party to pass legislation of any kind,&#8221; The Future Fund Managing Partner Gary Black said about a possible repeal of the tax credit on Monday. &#8220;Another wild card is Elon Musk, with $TSLA accounting for nearly half of all EVs sold in the country. With Elon Musk close to the president, it is important to know how he will seek to shape changes to the tax credit. Other auto executives have also been lobbying Mr. Trump against a repeal of the credit. Among them is Ford's executive chairman, William C. Ford Jr., who recently spoke to the president-elect.&#8221;
However, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, a close Trump ally, has previously supported scrapping of the tax credit. 
"In my view, we should end all government subsidies, including those for EVs, oil and gas," Musk said in November.
During Tesla&#8217;s second-quarter earnings in late July, Musk also said that the impact of the elimination of subsidies&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39934750/trump-presidency-and-ira-cut-would-be-devastating-for-competitors-says-elon-musk-long-term-probably" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">would only be slight for Tesla</a>&nbsp;but devastating for its competitors. The elimination of EV subsidies would probably help Tesla in the long term, he added.
However, not all are in agreement. Tesla researcher Troy Teslike has previously said that the loss of tax credit will only make Tesla<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42641207/researcher-says-cancelation-of-7500-ev-tax-credit-could-impact-teslas-deliveries-despite-ceo-elon-musk-claiming-otherwise" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;lose its market to gas cars</a>&nbsp;from luxury car brands.
Trump, on Monday also revoked a 2021 executive order signed by former President Joe Biden that sought to ensure that 50% of new vehicles sold in the U.S. by 2020 are electric.

MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSTR#NASDAQ">MSTR</a>) shares dropped 2.35% in overnight trading on Robinhood Markets on Tuesday, falling to $386.80 as cryptocurrency markets reacted to President Donald Trump&#8216;s inauguration speech that notably <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43086698/crypto-market-plunges-after-trumps-inaugural-speech-fails-to-mention-digital-assets">omitted any mention of digital assets</a>.
What Happened: The enterprise software company, which holds over $45 billion in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>), had seen its stock surge 8.04% to $396.50 on Friday amid optimism about Trump&#8217;s anticipated crypto-friendly policies. 
The company&#8217;s executive chairman Michael Saylor attended a &#8220;Crypto Ball&#8221; last Friday where he met with Trump&#8217;s incoming cabinet members, fueling speculation about <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43078515/michael-saylor-meets-trumps-cabinet-at-crypto-ball-what-does-the-bitcoin-bulls-cryptic-post-indicate">favorable cryptocurrency regulations</a>.
However, Trump&#8217;s inaugural address focused instead on traditional assets, declaring the start of a &#8220;Golden Age of America&#8221; &#8211; a reference that prompted Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff to highlight the president&#8217;s apparent preference for gold over cryptocurrency.
