It would require 60 votes in the Senate. That's not happening.
It’s between the front and rear seat 🤷🏻♂️ Someone thought rear passengers needed more legroom. Although shouldn’t that show up as more seat down room?
I think seat heights and space under front seat for rear legroom could be manipulated to get different numbers. It's rather complicated. I think SAE: J1100 is the standard. Here's an old revision: Motor Vehicle Dimensions
In any event, it’s bigger on the outside but not on the inside (trunk), so in practical terms, useless to me.
HV DC converter is very efficient 94.3%....and for owners that use European electric standard it is even better. At 7.2 kWh it will charge 6.79 kWh usable.
There's oil in the motor/gearbox, but is more like the oil in a rear differential. There's no belts or air filters. Just a cabin filter. With regen, the brakes might last forever if they don't rust away first. The first scheduled maintenance is radiator fluid at 150,000 miles. I guess some people change their brake fluid at five years or something. I've never done that on any of my cars.
Not necessarily. As part of the tax code it can be included in a reconciliation bill.
Don't laugh but compared to an IC car - none, well almost! Seriously there is the cabin air filter, brake fluid every year or two - most people don't stay on top of brake fluid like they should. A complete change of my vehicles is set for this spring. At some point the oil in gearbox (hesitate to call it transmission) but that is well down the road and since it should be cooler then life may be very good. A lot of the little things like lubricating latches and door hinges which will probably be forgotten as they are usually on the list for periodic maintenance. Shocks probably won't last forever as well as the tires. Brake pads should last a long time as well with the regenerative braking. Need to lift the hood every now and then just to have a look around and see if it needs wiper fluid. And there is coolant at some point - I used to change every couple of years but engines and coolant much improved so don't change. Wife's 2008 Smart car still had the OEM coolant that was changed in 2009 when the radiator was replaced after hitting a gator (truck tire tread).
It feels really weird that I've had my car for about 6 weeks and I haven't opened the hood yet.
It's not in the current bill and reconciliation can only be invoked once per budget cycle. There will be two cracks at it this year as last fiscal year's budget was never passed.
And check for rodents.
... or even just one that applies a minuscule about of logic and reason to decision making (problem solving).

It's sort of a tough situation now. I know you'd prefer for the free market to decide. However, the federal government has already stepped into the mess. Where we are now is that everyone else making EVs has a distinct market advantage over two generally American automakers making EVs.
