... frozen $43 million in payments to Tesla pending a line-by-line investigation into its last-minute surge in EV rebate claims on the final weekend of the government program.

That's the critical part. Tesla is being investigated for fraud and for allegedly abusing the EV rebate program, costing taxpayers millions of dollars.

They shouldn't be given a penny because of that. But also, because Canada doesn't support Nazis anyway 🤭

Assuming it was fraudulent of course.

From the info I saw posted a few days after this whole something started with actual info... The same situation could also be explained by Tesla not submitting claims as they come, instead submitting them as a group after there were comments about the funding starting to end, therefore putting a deadline on submissions. Which would also make sense. Large companies paying and submitting claims for things in bulk on longer cycles like quarterly is very common.

I haven't specifically looked up more info recently though, so there may be new stuff that came out that slipped through my feed.
