Original Note:
This claim is not close to accurate. The annual subsidy for the SDTI is ~$286 million. The cheapest Tesla is ~$40k, so this would buy roughly 7,100 new Teslas a year. SDTI carries, on average, almost 110,000 riders per day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Diego_Trolley https://www.sdmts.com/sites/default/files/2022-04-20_-_bdc_agenda_and_materials_0.pdf
