Tesla vs Manitoba EV Rebate

Manitoba’s government just sparked a legal showdown by kicking Tesla out of its EV rebate program—despite the carmaker accounting for over 20% of approved rebates. Tesla’s lawyers are threatening court, arguing the move is unfair and contradicts the program’s goal of boosting EV adoption. The government’s reasoning? Tied to U.S. tariffs on Canadian goods—and Premier Wab Kinew hinted the decision might reverse if those tariffs vanish, possibly referencing Musk’s past ties to Trump. Tesla’s legal team is eyeing a similar Ontario court case where exclusion was overturned, giving them a strong precedent. Meanwhile, opposition parties are questioning why Manitoba still contracts with Musk’s SpaceX for telecom services, suggesting Canadian firms should get first dibs.
