Looks like Tesla’s reliance on government subsidies has finally hit a wall in Canada.
After Tesla requested reimbursement for an unprecedented 8,669 Canadian EV rebates in just three days, the Canadian government froze Tesla’s rebate payments and paused all future eligibility for federal rebates while tariffs are in place.
Read the full details and the fallout here.
Good. Put them under a damn microscope.
I’m sure the transport minister will be a friendly and impartial arbiter the day after 25% tariffs were announced on Canada’s vital-and-thoroughly-intertwined-with-the-USA automotive industry.
Bahaha, who am I kidding. But then, if there’s nothing to find, the Canadians won’t fabricate anything, they have a functional 4th Estate and the journalists have a way of finding things like that. Stay tuned.
Yes. I do trust the Canadian government to be much more fair than the current American government. Which kinda sucks, since I’m American, but still.
I’m American too. I trust they’ll be fair (in a free and open society, it is dangerous for an arbiter to not be fair, hard to get reelected if you seem like a fraud to your electorate). I do not trust they’ll be friendly. They’re going to audit those records as hard as they’ve audited anything in a generation.
Yeah sorry, Canada actually has a functioning government that can look into this shit. Didnt think that one through too much, did they.
LOCK HIM UP!
