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.

Dealerships provide rebates of up to $5,000 at the point of sale and then the government reimburses them.
