Canada has stopped cars made by Elon Musk’s Tesla from future electric vehicle deduction programs, as the country engages in a trade dispute with titles with President Trump, Transport Minister Chrystia Freeland said.
Freeland said Tuesday that Tesla vehicles would not be eligible for the deduction program as long as “illegal and illegal tariffs of the US are set against Canada”.
In addition to stopping Tesla from future stimulating programs, Canada is also investigating a multitude of deductions made by the automobile shortly before the country closes an existing discount program, according to the Freeland statement received from Reuters.
In total, Canada raised $ 43 million C ($ 30.11 million) pending payments for Tesla.
Freeland said the payment will not be completed until each submission is reviewed and determined to be valid.
In January, Canada closed the current version of his discount program – which offered payments up to $ 5,000 towards the purchase of electric vehicles – due to the lack of funds.
Tesla’s sellers presented a wave of requests just before the program was over, with a trade in Quebec City demanding nearly $ 20 million ($ 14 billion) in subsidies.
This would equal 4,000 vehicles sales on a single weekend, a large number that aroused suspicion of officials.
Toronto star was the first to report on the subtraction claims.
Representatives for Tesla did not immediately return the post for commentary request.
The measure is the worst news for Musk, which has withdrawn the serious consideration in recent months for his work by leading the Trump -supported government efficiency department. He has also served as a leading adviser to Trump, who hit 25% tariffs for goods imported from Canada and Mexico.
Tesla traders around the US have opposed a wave of vandalism and arson incidents, leading senior Trump administration officials to warn that such actions would be treated as internal terrorism.
Experts have told Tesla and other US automobiles as among those who can be hit most from Trump’s tariff battle – partly because almost every part of their supply chains, material resources and production to sales are affected.
Tesla pushed the Trump administration to consider the impact that the escalation tariffs would have on US companies in a letter to the US Trade Representative Office earlier this month.
At the time, Tesla warned that he could “expose” to “disproportionate influences” after countries imposed revenge fees.
“For example, past trade actions from the United States have resulted in immediate feedback from the target countries, including increased EV tariffs in those countries,” Tesla said.
Negative effects included higher production costs for Tesla vehicles built in the US and higher costs for its exported abroad vehicles.
