Canada Freezes $43M in Suspicious Tesla Rebates Amidst Fraud Investigation
Following a suspicious surge in Tesla EV sales and subsequent rebate claims totaling $43 million in just three days, the Canadian government has frozen Tesla’s rebate payments. This action, taken after Tesla claimed a sales rate of 1.5 vehicles per minute, is pending a full audit of each individual claim. Further, Tesla’s eligibility for federal rebates is revoked until existing US-Canada tariffs are resolved. This federal freeze compounds existing provincial-level exclusions, impacting Tesla’s Canadian sales, previously its fifth-largest market.
