Looks like Tesla’s profiting off 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 those keeping score, Tesla claimed to sell 1.5 vehicles per minute, a huge spike that came after the company was alerted that the rebate fund would run out.

That means that $43 million in Tesla rebate payments are frozen and future subsidies paused. Read on for the full story!

Again, judges don't GIVE A SHIT what you call it. They give a shit what things ARE.

And they will utterly fucking smack Tesla over this.

Judges aren't stupid people (at least not in Canada; can't vouch for American judges seeing some of the decisions Down South). You're not going to fool them by renaming things. That's the kind of view of law that a toddler would hold. "I didn't spill my juice because I call it ... ah ... foobles now!"
