Tesla's Canadian Incentive Grab: Strategy or Chaos?
2025-04-11
Tesla is embroiled in controversy over its application for millions of dollars in Canadian electric vehicle incentives. The Canadian government froze $43 million in payments after Tesla submitted applications for 8,653 vehicles in the 72 hours leading up to the incentive deadline – an abnormally high number. Tesla claims these were simply backlogged applications, but hasn't specified how many were backdated. The incident raises questions about Tesla's Canadian operations management, CEO Elon Musk's actions, and the increasingly strained relationship with the Canadian government, alongside its deteriorating public image in Canada.
