On May 22, 2013, Tesla, a California-based EV manufacturer, said it
has repaid a DoE loan adding: “Tesla will be the only
American car company to have fully repaid the government.”

The information is unmistakably incorrect. It’s pretty
well-known that almost exactly two years ago – May
24, 2011 – Chrysler Group LLC repaid (in full and with
interest) U.S. and Canadian government loans more than six years
ahead of schedule.
Question: short memory or short-circuit?
