I'm having trouble parsing your comment. The most-charitable formulation I can can come up with is something like: "We know Musk already possesses a personal staff of unscrupulous geeks and likes to illegally stop payments. Therefore it is likely they were engaged in payment fraud here too, where the "enemy" Canadian government is hurt by stolen funds, and "enemy" car-competitors are hurt by the rebate pool being sud…
If Doge wouldn't pay out then Musk can't complain when Canada doesn't.

We'll have to see. There's ways to pull this off while still operating within the letter of the law. And if they did so, then there's little that can be down to get it back. Worst would happen short of federal tariffs on Tesla products is that if the iZEV resumes, they're taken off the list of illegible vehicles.

#16> One Tesla location in Toronto reported more than 1,200 sales on January 11 alone, accounting for $4 million in [Canadian government] rebates. Sounds like Musk being a dick - sticking it to Canada to please/amuse his boss.
This is a very internet take. Being a dick is personal behavior. Falsifying sales records to receive rebates is criminal fraud, regardless of how nicely you do so.

Did they just funnel and move cars through the Canada based dealerships that were for sales in other parts of the world? Does Tesla normally sell that many cars in three days?

Oh I thought the worst would be the brand gets even worse promotion and goes even more in the tank in the public’s eye. Somehow.

#19Why not go for one last government grift before you get kicked out of the country for spearheading efforts to start a war, I suppose

Even then it would likely still be some variety of fraud, since the rebates are limited in scope to "Canadian individuals and businesses", and the business-limit is 10 no matter how many separate ones on paper an owner tries to craft.
