Featured Tesla suing Ontario government over unfair treatment in cancellation of provincial EV incentive

In July, newly elected Premiere Doug Ford canceled the generous EV program in Ontario with a ‘grace period’ for any eligible vehicles in dealer inventory, such that they can still get the rebate as long as it sold and plated by Sept 10. Of course, since Tesla operates differently and does not use a dealer network with inventory, that means rebates ended immediately on July 11 for any customers who had a Model 3 on order - and already paid a deposit - meaning their already-contracted car purchase just increased $14K! . This is completely unfair.

Tesla has allegedly been understanding and graceful in allowing these customers to cancel their order for full refund, now Tesla is suing Ontario for the unfair treatment.

Should be interesting!

FACTS, Dougie. They come in handy. You should try it sometime.

Earlier today (yesterday), Ontario reversed their decision on excluding Tesla from the EV rebate sunset, allowing customer up to Sept 10 like everyone else to submit their claim (good luck to those who already canceled their orders........).

In the process, Ford referenced the “$16,000” rebate (actually $14,000) on “$100,000 cars” (max price was $75k to be eligible - I.e. only Model 3). Does he even know what he is talking about???

Sigh.
