Is Tesla suing Ontario? Never one to take things lying down, the Canadian arm of Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA), is apparently taking the Ontario government to court. The claim is that Tesla is unfairly suffering as a result of the Ontario government canceling a program which offered rebates for electric vehicle buyers.
Tesla Suing Ontario; What’s Going On?
The issue arose when Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s government decided to cancel a rebates program which offered money-back for consumers of electric vehicles.
And to add insult to injury, Tesla is claiming that it has been singled out; other electric vehicle brands remain eligible for the rebate program during a transition period.
Suffering
In an application for judicial review, Tesla Motors Canada says that now, hundreds of its customers are no longer eligible for rebates which they expected to get when ordering their vehicles. The results are canceled orders or decisions against buying altogether.
Tesla’s reputation has suffered as has its finances.
