Don't feed the trolls. =p
Are there any lawyers in here? I'm surprised this is not a more discussed option.
They do. The last paragraph. Proving it’s an ineffective article since no one reads the whole thing. That last paragraph is scant and yet contains the entire issue.
I hope you used someone's referral code to get the free Supercharging, at least.
Oh, you're right, but they use the same confusing dealer/manufacturer terminology as the website, "The province announced last week that the electric vehicle incentive program will end on Sept. 10 for those who have their vehicle delivered, registered and plated if it was purchased from a dealer. But it ended immediately for those who ordered their vehicle directly from the manufacturer."
It should say "The province announced last week that the electric vehicle incentive program will end on Sept. 10 for those who have their vehicle delivered, registered and plated as long as it was ordered before July 11th. But if you ordered a Tesla, it ended immediately."
That made me laugh. It would be too much to expect Doug Ford to speak the truth.
I've had communication earlier this morning that to date, there has been no formal announcement that addresses whether Tesla might throw us a bone for our inconveniences. Not to us nor Tesla Ontario.
I can only presume Tesla is (as they have always except perhaps with Germany once) letting the market decide, which is understandable. I bear them no ill-will though I think they missed an opportunity and I'm sure some of their employees in Ontario feel that way as well.
It's up to the feds at this stage. Cabinet was re-shuffled this morning but Catherine McKenna remains as Minister of Environment and Climate Change. Her riding is Ottawa Centre so I'm sure she's well aware of this story line.
If you haven't already done so, you might want to send her a message asking if there will be any incentives at the federal level. She has a master's degree from the London School of Economics and a law degree from McGill University so you'd think she's aware of the issues and the economics behind them.
What will be the position of the feds and/or by what date can we expect an announcement on whether national incentives will be made available or not.
Let her hear your voice. It could make a difference.

Tesla isn't reaching out to customers to offer a refund. Not to my knowledge anyway. I had to call and inquire. Only then was I offered a refund if desired. Still, its probably more critical for the order to be cancelled before a VIN is given than anything else.
I have been informed by a lawyer that this is not a legal matter. In fact, the imperious majority government in Queen's Park can fulfil any campaign promise in whatever manner they wish, or not, based on their own internal ideological policies or spur-of-the-moment self serving conniving.
Not sure if this has any merit but OMVIC replied to my email stating that Tesla is registered as a dealership (see image). I will keep the email as proof should anyone know how we can use this.

Can we not fight on the grounds that it is technically a dealership as per the email image I attached above?
My Tesla rep called me to offer a refund, both last week and again Monday and today. If they don’t contact you I suggest you contact your rep as it would appear we have had a different experience.

... But the vehie was not ordered through the dealership... I think that's the key ..
I don’t have a Tesla rep, no one has ever contacted me. Do you have a Vin assigned?
No, because the dealership didn't order the car, you did. (Unless you went to the Tesla dealership and had them process your order.)
