Depends on what Dougie means by "purchased". To me that sounds like delivered, registered and in your possession. I wouldn't say a vehicle ordered is necessarily "purchased".

Yes, the date you "ordered" the car.
In my situation, block B3 is populated with 2018/04/05.

There's an incorrect "assumption" EV rebate funding come from general tax payers... IT DOES NOT... It comes from cap&trade revenue from big polluter corporations... The same big polluters who will just pocket the savings when the Conservatives cancel cap&trade... Conserative party has made it very clear they will do NOTHING to fight global warming..

I had almost decided to order a Model 3, but I think it is too late now with the election just 4 weeks away. Way back when I put the deposit down I had planned my finances on having the rebate and trading in the Volt; and on getting the standard battery with PUP, but Tesla is so far behind the original schedule at the time of the deposit that that is not going to happen. I hesitated because of the delay in Model 3 making the rebate list, and now it is too close to the election to order. Would not hazard it now, with my luck on getting the worst of all worlds: losing the rebate and getting the LR battery without really needing it, a $25,000 difference since we have the S for long distance travel. If by some miracle the rebate survives the election or I win the lottery with our work place group lottery tickets then .....
Why still many ppl says here that rebate may disappear right after election?
How long it takes after election to have a new premier? At least rebate will be safe during those say at least two weeks?
If that’s that case, Tesla will deliver all Model 3 in order before new premier in Ontario appearance.

That sounds awfully similar to the Liberal's EV section of their climate change plan. I had emailed Wynne's office about eliminating HST and free overnight charging still which both were supposed to arrive this/last year. They completely ignored me asking about HST but said they were still working on free overnight charging.
I'm probably dreaming, but I had a thought that the Liberals might announce eliminating the HST June 1st. Just in time for the election and our new cars. Might explain why Tesla is holding off on delivering them any sooner.
Once the election period formally begins this week, the caretaker convention applies until the new government is sworn in. This article covers the situation well.
The article makes it clear that there's a large amount of discretion in determining how far the convention goes, but I doubt that changes to EV policy would fall under it. An HST removal would not be routine, it would be controversial (the PCs would oppose), it's not urgent, and while it would be reversible, there'd still be a cost to paying out for people who claimed prior to the new party sworn in. The Liberals could try and see if attempting it causes any problems for them, but my guess is Ford would jump all over them and he'd actually be right to do so. It would simply be inappropriate for the Liberals to change tax rules during a campaign.
Also, I don't know if removal of the HST (even if just the provincial portion) would require legislative changes; if so, it would absolutely be impossible once the house recesses for the election period.

After seeing the debate tonight I wonder if we might have an NDP govt.

I like how the NDP promises the world in services to all folks in life. Where will they get the $ to pay for all this?
They have already said they will pay for it by increasing taxes

Doug was a deer in the headlights for 20 min. After that usual vague talking points. Not sure how NDP would work out. Most provinces they have cut debt.
The same place the liberals (provincial and federal) have been getting it - deficit financing?.
NDP at the provincial level has worked before (west and east) and likely will again, but not sure at the federal level.
