Why would Tesla threaten to sue instead of just waiting for the result of the investigation?
-
Because they know they're guilty as fuck
-
Because they're led by a petulant man-baby who thinks he's above the law.
-
Because if they get the money now. Good luck getting it back/ persuing any other action. If canada holds the money now and they are guilty. There is no money period.

Good luck with that.

Canada should just outright ban Tesla at this point. It’s head honcho is a South African Nazi who’s on record calling Trudeau Governor and saying Canada isn’t a country.
There’s a lot of other EV and automotive companies we can give our money to.
Sucks for Tesla, but Tesla sucks.

His grandad was litch exiled from Canada for publicly supporting Nazi Germany.
-
Elon has a Canadian citizenship from his mother. We should revoke it from him.
-
Can't without allowing for the disenfranchisment of other canadians.

Super funny to me that they believe this is going to work out well for them. The math don't math and they were caught red handed.

Tesla can fuck right off.

I hope Tesla loses

Lol, they are under investigation for fraud because of this.
Like, fuck Tesla and Musk in particular, but they paid out the rebates to the customers as they bought vehicles over the year, and put all the rebate requests in on their behalf just before the deadline. This wasn't fraud in any concievable manner.
Edit: holee fuk, people are big mad at not blindly condemning one company that does the same thing all the other dealerships do. I look forward to Tesla going tits up, but this is a nothingburger.
They're under investigation because it is believed they boosted sales in their books to get the rebates for cars that were not actually sold....
That sounds like a fraud scheme.
Considering Tesla did not asked for the rebates themselves, but it was something the buyers had to do, I think it’s fraud.
If that's what happened, they should be able to prove that and the money will go to them. But I've certainly heard stories, and I look forward to the results of an investigation.
Please explain how that makes sense: customer buys car, Tesla gives them rebate, Tesla doesn’t collect rebate for months and just sits there with no money. Then tesla decides to call in rebates all at once when it’s announced that they run out?
