The Tesla Forums

With tensions rising between Canada and the US, the $43 million in EV rebates claimed by Tesla raises some serious questions. Is it a legitimate business move or opportunistic exploitation of a subsidy program? Considering Musks recent comments about Canada and his role in US government waste reduction, the optics are certainly questionable. Should Canadian taxpayers be funding a company whose CEO seems to hold such views? Furthermore, how does this impact the already strained relationship between the two countries? Could this become a bargaining chip in ongoing trade negotiations? What message does this send to other businesses considering participating in Canadian subsidy programs? Let’s discuss the implications of this situation and where we go from here. Should the Canadian government reconsider its relationship with Tesla, or are these just the growing pains of international trade in the age of electric vehicles? I predict this will set a precedent for future trade deals and corporate responsibility. What are your thoughts?
