Tesla is banned from Canada EV rebate program, gov freezes suspicous $43 million in rebates
Tesla has been banned from upcoming federal EV rebate programs in Canada as the government freezes the suspicious $43 million...
You're viewing a single thread.
Option 1: Tesla fraudulently filed rebates
Option 2: Tesla filed a backlog of rebates when they realized they had to
Both are possible, but everyone is jumping to conclusion that it's option 1, while option 2 is the easier answer.
Also the government said they're going to let all the other rebates that this pushed out at the last minute get the rebate regardless of if these were legit or not.
Option 2 should be easy to prove, so why didn’t they do that already, like literally the same day they were accused of it? Then their funds wouldn’t have been frozen.
Especially considering this was months ago
I imagine they probably don't want to release the information that would prove it if they could, and if they did it'd be redacted enough that no one would believe it anyway. It also costs money to fight endless things like this.
Ultimately, if the government comes back and says its legit, then people will believe it. If it's fraud, there should be punishment.
That whole 1.5 billion accounting fraud story last week, I don't think Tesla said anything official about it or done anything at least to specifically disprove it, but the FT has now retracted the story saying they made a mistake.
They probably had their families threatened. That's what fascist regimes do.
The story explains what their mistake was that others pointed out to them.
Maybe they shouldn't have kept a backlog then? That certainly sounds like a 'them' problem though, doesn't it?
Doesn't strike me as very efficient either
I don't think I'd ever call behemoth corporations efficient.
woosh
Corpos are generally inefficient.
