Elon can’t sell his cars – so he is suing to make people buy them.
Or at least, suing to compel the government to keep on paying people to buy them – if that distinction amounts to any meaningful difference.
Canada had a law – like the one in the U.S. – which greatly subsidized the individual purchase of Teslas and other electric cars via rebates bestowed upon those who did buy them. These purchaser subsidies amounted to several thousand dollars each, and worth a lot more to Tesla, et al, since without them the incentive to buy an electric car dims considerably.
