Now you know why he’s miffed about the bill taking away his ev rebates. I hope that dill hole finally gets his Canadian citizenship yanked. Or immediately gets jailed if stepping into Canada ever.

Smells like fraud! Tesla is ran by a grifter. Canada better get their stuff together and arrest or ban Musk from business in Canada or he will have you acting like the US.
Do the right thing Canada. Arrest warrants for all involved.
Knowing Canada though they’d go ‘well it’s not illegal’ and do dick all about it. You could slap them in the face with obvious manipulation and unless they had a law already in place they wouldn’t flinch. Intent be damned no matter how obvious. It’s all about overt action with them.
Then they’d decide to go nanny state and announce ‘no rebate programs ever forever because of this one thing happening that I didn’t address’ instead of dealing with this shit directly.
this kneeling to the devil shit and cowing to opportunists is getting real old. Real fast
I think for those that wanted Teslas, they realized they have to buy them before the tariff war gets too hot. So ironically there's a surge of purchases
Ideology aside, they make some very good cars, and I don't blame people for buying them
Ideology aside, they make some very good PR
They immolate people per vehicle sold than the ford pinto. The have absurd numbers of points of failure; until a few years ago each door handle had over a dozen sensors and wires, all exposed to moisture and thermal cycling, and cost $500 each. They use a few hall effect sensors now, but still cost >$500.
The overall fire risk for EVs, (including most Teslas) is pretty low, but the Cybertruck is a huge outlier here.
I'm not talking about all EVs, just Teslas. Most EVs don't have a tendency to lock the occupants inside after a bad crash.
Here's a random twitter user compiling news stories of Tesla deaths that prove it's at least double the Ford Pinto: https://xcancel.com/ton_aarts/status/1593557636695445505
And what one guy on twitter can find is hardly exhaustive.
So from everything I’ve seen about this situation, it looks a whole fucking lot like a massive amount of malfeasance from Tesla. I genuinely hope the Canadian government throws the book at them and absolutely reams them financially for fraud.
Elon now stealing money from Canada taxpayers. US taxpayers not enough.
