Disagreed. See my last post about order agreement.The Sept deadline does not effect Tesla buyers. So it doesn't matter.

I don't see why it would be applied retroactively. There is no point. The point of the rebate is to entice people who otherwise wouldn't purchase a EV over an ICE vehicle, largely due to the price differential, to purchase the EV. If they've already purchased it, then they don't need enticing.
Disagreed. See my last post about order agreement.
Your last order agreement post simply states that Tesla is a dealer, and the ombudsman agrees.
Unfortunately, that fact Has nothing absolutely nothing to do with Ford’s decision and the government.
As it stands, Tesl doesn’t qualify.
Until Ford changes that, it doesn’t matter.
I agree with the dealership argument, however until you see the Minister from MTO- John Yakabuski retract from the following quote:Stop being so rude, @M109Rider. It does have something to do with Ford's decision.
Ford's camp wrote the bill (?) assuming Tesla would be excluded because it doesn't actively sell cars in Ontario. But Tesla does have dealers in Ontario, as the government's own site indicates. So the action via the Ombudsman is trying to reconcile that issue. I agree the Ford government doesn't want to pay rebates to late Tesla buyers, and they would have to acknowledge the application of the dealer condition to enable staff to write cheques to Tesla owners who get their cars by Sept. 10, but it's still possible, although unlikely. (It's so frustrating when people say "there's 0% chance of x happening" about something in the future. You can't predict anything about the future with 100% assurance, especially in politics.)
I agree with the dealership argument, however until you see the Minister from MTO- John Yakabuski retract from the following quote:
“Tesla does not have a dealer network. They deal directly with the consumer and our intention in extending it for the other models was to protect the dealer networks that provide jobs and work for people here in Ontario.”
We have nothing.
That is such a stupid, misinformed quote from the Minister. Like all the people that work at these Telsa SC's aren't working in Ontario and paying Ontario taxI agree with the dealership argument, however until you see the Minister from MTO- John Yakabuski retract from the following quote:

Oh please Of course it is my opinion, that is what a lot of this forum is about. You of all people should realize that. IMHO it is clear the statement was created to ensure the major automakers and their dealers, who have created strong ties to the party by giving major funding to the campaign, want to be protected and ensure Telsa is not allowed the same rights. In my opinion, it is just like a back room deal to allow some manufacturers a distinct advantage or more precisely one specific to be disadvantaged. Thanks for reading my opinion.That would be your opinion. The Honourable Minister is free to set policy as the elected government was given a strong mandate to do.
Keep in mind the Ombudsman doesn't have jurisdiction over the government. They could absolutely go back to Ford with their findings and Ford could be 100% incorrect. He has the power simply say "Thank you for your findings but I will respectfully stick to my word". I think that's what we're all concerned about - If it was a higher power like the Federal government for example who said no, you must honor the incentive as Tesla does in fact have a dealer network - that's a different story. But to be honest - I still don't think Ford would have to do anything because a) it's Provincial money that he can do with whatever he pleases and b) it specifically states in the incentive that it could be changed or modified at any time without warning.
Everything has been done. It's over. Time to move on. The fat lady has already sung, the lights are on and the doors are locked.
Wow, there's actually a scroll-bar to see the list of people who disagreed. Never seen that before.
Just wondering if anyone else who cancelled feels a bit bitter whenever they see a Model 3 on the road? =p
Not sure if this has been said already but just got off the phone with Tesla and looks like the timeframe of the order refund is ending soon. They didn’t give me a date but for those on the fence I would give them a call.

Not so sure in this case. The government set the rule for dealerships to protect the dealerships and exclude Tesla. However, it appears as though they may have been sloppy in the wording and the wording might actually allow for Teslas to receive the rebate as well.That would be your opinion.

...except that ‘Tesla’ does not rhyme with ‘Stella’ - we still qualify, lol!Very true. Even when the Ombudsman comes to the conclusion that Tesla is a dealership and, according to the wording of the phase out policy, Tesla orders must qualify, Ford can change it to read "orders before July 11th qualify, except for dealerships which start with the letter T and rhyme with Stella." And to be honest, I wouldn't put that past him.
