New energy vehicles (NEV), including Tesla Model S, will be allowed on roads without restrictions starting Friday in Tianjin Municipality, local government said.
Gas-fueled vehicles in the city will still be restricted one out of five weekdays based on their license plate numbers.
The city's government ended the license-plate lottery for NEVs in April and has granted license plates for NEVs directly for all applicants since then.…China.org.cn

Maybe things are different in China but in America only well-to-do people can afford to buy Teslas, so there would be a certain class bias in rewarding Tesla drivers.
China is different owing to quantity. The government is going all out to reduce pollution and helping Tesla increase market share thus being able to reduce costs and prices is in the public interest. I would not be surprised to see subsidies, too.
Bring back bicycles.
