He will just buy them himself, look at the sales numbers in Canada... 8,600 cars in 3 days! In Canada...

I think the canadian Feds are looking into that, and I hope they fine the ever loving crap out of him.

Is it wrong to think that people should go to jail for fraud instead of just fines everywhere?

How are they going to jail the President of the United States?

Have a warrant for his arrest, make him never come to Canada again and if he renounces his citizenship even better!

Then grab him next time he comes to Canada. Can't be pardoned by the puppet for crimes done in another country.

No not at all, i have just given up all hope on seeing any kind of justice like that in the united states.

That particular situation looks like it may be due to how the process worked and government comments that the money would be running out earlier than planned.

Apparently dealers weren't required to submit at the time of sale, but on a monthly or quarterly basis instead, which is a very common timeline for businesses to handle things like that. But after the announcement of the program ending early, Tesla submitted everything they had pending immediately, which makes complete sense.

I have not done a lot of research on this particular topic, and the little I have done may not have been accurate sources, but that situation would line up without needing to grasp at any crazy theories.
