Tesla Faces Scrutiny Over $43 Million in EV Rebates Claimed in Canada

Canadian authorities investigate Tesla's unprecedented sales surge during final days of federal EV incentive program.

Tesla reported 8,653 electric vehicle sales across four Canadian locations in just three days, claiming over half of the remaining $71.8 million in federal EV rebates.
A single Tesla dealership in Quebec City allegedly delivered 4,000 vehicles over a weekend, raising doubts about the feasibility of such numbers.
The Canadian Automobile Dealers Association (CADA) has called for an investigation, citing $10 million in unreimbursed rebates for independent dealerships left in financial limbo.
Transport Canada has launched a review into whether Tesla's rebate filings adhered to program requirements, following accusations of 'gaming the system.'
The federal EV rebate program, paused on January 13 due to depleted funds, has facilitated over 500,000 EV purchases since its inception.
