I've given up hope on the incentive program (I did send emails to MPPs). But I think it would be nice that, because of the *sugar* that we've been through, Tesla rewards the people left from this whole ordeal. I'm not asking for much (nothing like free AWD or performance model) but perhaps an accelerated delivery?
I warned y'all. The last time CBC interviewed Tesla owners it was for a hit piece.
They'll show you as whiny entitled rich people or something.
I think it would be an excellent gesture on Tesla's part to offer free EAP to the original owners who patiently waited for the AWD. I.e. those who missed out on the the EVIP, which was an active program when they ordered
It's on at 6pm on CBC. She seemed to be understanding of what we are going through and I have faith that they are sympathetic.
How would they separate those from people who were waiting for SR? Tesla doesn't know what you were waiting for, only what you actually ordered.
I don't have too much faith, most people will look at us and said "wow, they are buying $65K car and expect government to give them $14K, good thing Ford cancels the program".
We know what the real story is, but most people don't and they don't really care...
Got to try something. The clock is ticking,
I'm willing to try and put my trust she can tell our story as it should be. The Truth
This Adaptabl must be Doug Ford... he is disagreeing with everyone... lol.
Because the AWD was actually ordered, money paid (deposit). The SR has never been available .
Ah, I see. I was confused by the reference to "waiting" and didn't realize this meant only people who actually ordered AWD. There are those who didn't order because they felt the chance of a rebate cancellation was too high. While it's impossible to identify those people (which is the group I was referring to), it would put Tesla in the position of rewarding one group and not another based on their risk tolerance.
No easy answers.
Lol ya.. he's been randomly disagreeing with lots of my posts for no reason.
Dude never posts anything either. Just creeps in the background and carpet bombs thumbs down. Is that you Doug?
New Tesla owners on hook for $14K after sudden end of electric car incentive program | CBC News
Thanks to those who contributed their stories. I think the story paints the right picture. Again, probably not enough to move the needle. I’ll make a decision early this week about my own order.

Just watched CBC news - it started about 15 minutes late due to Calgary Stampede coverage.
Immediately before the Tesla story, they covered protests over the PC plan to not increase the mimimum wage further and over the sex-ed curriculum changes.
The Tesla story seemed very fair with an emphasis on it being a more affordable car, and with the government's approach being unfair and inconsistent with Ford's previous statements.
How it played for people not plugged into the topic is another matter. I'd hope that combined with the previous story, some viewers are starting to see a pattern of behaviour by this government.

Tesla just tweeted about this issue on their twitter feed. You can go there to follow the thread
