    Didn’t they also run some giant sales scam in Canada to fraudulently claim tax credits for fake EV sales? Where they were claiming dealerships were selling like 200 cars a day?

      Yes indeed they did, and Tesla came under investigation and the tax deductions were withdrawn as fraudulent.
      I am not aware of the result of the investigation, but I bet Tesla would have advertised it if they were cleared.

        i could be mistaken but wasn’t this one of several investigations into Musk owned companies which was halted after the inauguration?

        There were so many investigations against tech bros stopped in 2025, it’s hard to keep it all straight.

          There were allegedly investigations into Tesla in USA too, that were stopped by Trump and the Musk DOGE program.
          But this has nothing to do with the obvious fraud they did in Canada.
