There was so much hate on Tesla for this saying it was all fraud, while Tesla was adamant it was just backlogged paper work.

Hopefully those who prejudged and were harsh to the company online about this incident, can come to see that not everything you read online is true, and that maybe, just maybe, you should actually wait for the final results before condemning a company for something like this, and stating it as fact.

Lmao,

CTV News asked the office of Minister of Transport if all the claims made by Tesla in January were valid and if they’ve been paid out. Minister Chrystia Freeland’s office has yet to provide a clear answer and did not confirm that they’re looking at potentially launching a new rebate program.

But ya, I'm sure driveteslacanada isn't a biased source with its fuckin referral links for tesla's at the bottom of the page.

In an email to the Canadian Press, a spokesperson for Transport Minister Chrystia Freeland said that while the department is still assessing a few claims, Transport Canada's investigation found the claims made by Tesla "were determined to legitimately represent cars sold before January 12."
