No it's not. I'm not talking about eligibility, that has nothing to do with how the cash flows, because the implication that you were making right at the front was that money goes straight from the government to the buyer. Which is absolutely not the case, Tesla has to file the paperwork and Transport Canadas pays out to Tesla. After that, TC doesn't have any say in where the money goes (also why TC can do this investigation now; they haven't released the money yet to Tesla).

Plus right now that's what Tesla's is one of the more believable scenarios I mentioned: : https://electrek.co/2025/04/09/tesla-canada-says-its-shady-4...

That they were rushing to fill out a backlog from sales from previous months. Not a massive rush of sales.
