A Tesla Is Not Just a Car for Elon Musk’s Superfans

Last week, would-be Tesla owners in Ontario collectively lost their minds when the province cancelled an electric-vehicle (EV) rebate program that would have netted Tesla buyers a $14,000 discount on their new rides. All the people who put deposits down on Model 3s but haven’t yet received them just had a door slammed in their faces.
This unexpected loss of financial incentives is a precursor to what’s almost definitely about to happen in the US, where Tesla recently surpassed the 200,000 limit of car sales eligible for rebates. People are, predictably, incensed.
