  • EV subsidies in Canada were about to end. Tesla then filed for over half of the remaining rebates in hours, leaving dealers furious.

Tesla has been accused of manipulating electric vehicle (EV) rebate schemes in Australia after reportedly selling 8,600 vehicles in a single weekend, which is significantly higher than its usual sales figures. This surge in sales occurred just before a deadline for a $3,000 federal EV rebate, leading to suspicions that Tesla might have been holding back stock to maximize the number of vehicles eligible for the rebate. Critics argue that this practice could be seen as gaming the system, especially since the sales spike was not aligned with typical market behavior. The Australian Government's EV rebate program, aimed at boosting EV adoption, has a cap of 20,000 rebates, and Tesla's sudden sales increase has raised concerns about fairness and the effectiveness of such incentives. The situation has sparked a debate on whether manufacturers should be allowed to influence rebate availability in this manner.
