And that’s fraud. I think it’s exactly what they wanted, to ask for as many as they could so they could sell the cars for less than the competition.
No it's not, it's exactly how all dealerships handled the federal rebate, the only weird thing is Tesla not claiming them regularly (from what they're saying) hence the investigation, but otherwise it's perfectly normal and legal that the dealerships were taking care of the trouble for their clients.
Down vote all you want, it was still the way it was done and is why all other dealerships were pissed when they couldn't submit their paperwork for their recent sales because Tesla submitted enough to empty the pot.
Could you show where other dealers have done this?
When the news came out all the other dealers were complaining that they couldn't submit the paperwork for the rebate.
It's not the clients that pay the bill and then get a cheque back, it's included on their bill when they purchase the car and in the loan they take if they need one.
It's not Tesla pretending to have purchased cars and submitting the paperwork under false client names, it's them submitting the paperwork for cars they (allegedly) sold to get the refund for the rebate they (allegedly) passed on to the client. As if they had accumulated the paperwork for months without submitting it to the government to get the refund they're owed for a rebate they gave their clients.
