... frozen $43 million in payments to Tesla pending a line-by-line investigation into its last-minute surge in EV rebate claims on the final weekend of the government program.

That's the critical part. Tesla is being investigated for fraud and for allegedly abusing the EV rebate program, costing taxpayers millions of dollars.

They shouldn't be given a penny because of that. But also, because Canada doesn't support Nazis anyway 🤭

If I'm not mistaken the program had a set budget so the money would have been spent either way, it's just that Tesla had tons of claims pending and they submitted all of them at once when dealers were told the program would end.

That's my understanding of the situation anyway...

Does Tesla have independent dealers in Canada, or is it company owned showrooms like in the US?

If it's the latter like I recall, then that would indicate that Tesla was sitting on them (not random local dealers) and only submitted them at the last moment.

Tesla does not have independent dealers. All stores are corporate owned.
