Financial Post: "The government said it decided to include only independently owned franchised dealerships in the transition funding in order to minimize negative impacts to small- or medium-sized businesses, and that such dealerships may have vehicle inventory or made orders with manufacturers that could not be returned."
What, so without a rebate no one is going to buy them?
Since when do mfg's NOT provide dealerships with inventory incentives for remaining stock? As if they want publicity that their EV/PHEV couldn't sell. The ON government are just digging a deeper hole for themselves with statements like this. I hope they are taken to task.
Agreed, every time they react to one of Tesla's moves it's been another "oh *sugar* moment". Soon we'll have a tunnel to China without the boring company's help .
Also this "for the people" slogan is backfiring if you think about the people who ordered the car in good faith of his tweeted promised that all cars ordered before July 11th will be included in the rebate program.
They're every bit a citizen of Ontario as any of these dealer networks, pay the same taxes, breathe the same air, works hard to build a life in this awesome province. If he's truly for the people - he'd make policies that benefit the people (cough cough sex ed, mincome, 25 city councilors). Everything this government has done to date has been deconstructive and backwards thinking.
Over 90 per cent of people agree with him cutting city council
He got elected campaigning on sex Ed changes.....some people must be happy
I don’t agree with half his policies, but acting like Tesla has public support is laughable
