Not really. You can run it up the flag pole over there but there are too many bigger issues going on right now to get into this issue.

Why do you point the finger at Musk for one dealership when in reality it sounds like some middle-tier dude at the dealership level more likely to pull this stunt

It was announced just 72 hours before that the fund was running out of money. It’s likely Tesla pushed to get all its unfiled rebates submitted in bulk in those 72 hours before the money was gone. When announced fund only had enough money to subsidize the purchases of around 16,000 EVs. Tesla got in its 8,600 before other dealers could even blink especially in areas where dealers cannot be open on weekends.
quote:

Records released by Transport Canada show a dramatic spike in sales in the 72 hours after the government announced the funding for EV rebates was about to run out.

quote:

Notably, Transport Canada has stated that there’s no rule against Tesla submitting rebate paperwork in bulk after sold cars are delivered. This could be what happened, but there’s still a lot of uncertainty about the exact details.
quote:

Unlike most other dealerships, Tesla’s Canadian stores are company-owned and directly controlled. This gives Tesla an advantage in navigating rebate claims and the sales process, unlike independent dealerships that run their own operations.
Dealerships aren’t even open on weekends in Quebec yet -
quote:

a single Tesla dealership in Quebec City claimed nearly $20 million in public subsidies by saying it sold more than 4,000 electric vehicles over a single weekend

I bet Tesla had people working over the weekend to get submissions in before locals came back to work on Monday.

So when the star says -
quote:

According to the The Star, an official from that governmental body openly said “Tesla didn’t sell those cars that weekend.”
It is very likely quote has been taken out of context, and the govt official is just acknowledging it is a bulk submission and not from actual sales over that weekend.

They got him now!

No, seriously this is almost certainly just Tesla fronting the rebate and a delay in filing for it to get reimbursed. This is pretty typical for rebate programs.

mmmmmbeer is a modern day American white liberal male. He doesn’t take no shite from Elon Musk or Putin. We should be thankful he stands up to them and protects TD!! Even if it’s just him throwing shite at the wall or grasping straws

Interesting that at the end of the clip, after all the mud and innuendo is tossed around they throw in the fact the minister of transportation said they believe Tesla followed all the rules of the program.


A giant, leftist nothing burger. Who’d think it?

Tesla doesn’t have dealerships.

They have stores where you can test drive, but you order online.

Just saying.
