is lobbying the Ontario government as part of an effort to set up an "advanced manufacturing facility" in Canada, a filing by the electric-vehicle maker to the province's Office of the Integrity Commissioner showed.
Tesla as well as the office of Ontario's minister for economic development, job creation and trade did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Tesla has been ramping up production with Chief Executive Elon Musk last week speaking half in jest to shareholders yelling "Canada" - "We've got a lot of Canadas, I'm half Canadian, maybe I should."
U.S. electric-vehicle makers are also looking to source materials and build cars closer home to diversify supply chains and lower their dependence on China, the world's largest supplier of EV batteries.
Build it in an area where house prices are still affordable.
With privatized health care and education, Ontario residents won’t be able to afford TESLAS. Ford wants this province to be more like Florida and Texas. Keep Ontario Canadian.
This is the type of Manufacturing we should pursue.
Subsidies ?
Elon should park his factory in one of the only two provinces actually taking EV adoption seriously. BC or Quebec. Any deal done will 100% be because of the federal government. Ford will, as per usual, take the credit for it.
Ohhh giga canada..
Still no EV incentive and woefully inadequate charging infrastructure
Because elonmusk doesn’t make enough money!!? He was hard working tax payers to fund a factory for him?!? fordnation
Good news !
elonmusk if you need help on the Canadian banking side let me know, happy to assist 🤝
It's gonna be markham
Bring on the work 🤑🤑🤑
Southern Ontario is perfect for their expansion. Toyota has factories in Cambridge and Woodstock. GM has one in Ingersol. Ample rail lines with capacity and part suppliers already in place. Doug Ford would likely welcome the factory and would clear red tape as required.
Got to pay big bucks to the Ford government because that's how the conservatives work to pay for their own retirement while the rest of Ontario crumbles?
We don’t want you here Tesla.
This will only happen if Thug Ford can somehow get the feds to give healthcare money with no strings attached so he can funnel it to them and continue to destroy our hospitals. 2 birds, one stone. onpoli
Doug will screw this up, give it time, he'll do something that'll screw this up, like the license plates, etc.
Yes!
NOT A PENNY OF TAXPAYER $$.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
If Elon is looking for funding or Ontario Tax $$$ the answer is NO.. Musk is one of the riches people in the World, why give him our hard earned $$. fordnation
Where Elon elonmusk
Lets hope Kitchen sink thrower reaches out to Prime Minister Trudeau to get this deal done.
No. It means government 'grants' & ' tax incentives'. Isn't it enough that car owners get rebates?
Tesla is smarter then Doug Ford they know he will pay them to come
Please...
Booo
I would HOPE Ontario has enough sense to pursue this
Hope it comes to Ontario🔋
Good thing we still have Ford or this would have never of happened. And our economy could use a boost right now thanks to Justin Tyrant- I mean Trudeau
Super excited about this… make it happen captain!!! fordnation
That explains why Frank Stronach suddenly decided to open his tap onpoli
Totally awesome.
Fuck yes.. Anyone against this ... get monkey pox
Will labor laws be followed ?
Id be for it if they lowered the price of the 3 to fall under the EV rebate again so people can actually afford the cars.
Why not move production to another province? We have a few in which can use an economic boost.
Worst idea ever. Unifor will raid them enforcing them to go union. Better to stay away from Canada if you want to see profits
fordnation
I can hear fordnation saying “Ontario is open for business”
Bring more immigrants. That should help the housing and healthcare crisis.
At what cost for the taxpayers.
Ford needs to quit giving away $Billions of taxpayers dollars to buy jobs, then begging Trudeau to for more immigrants to fill all the empty jobs positions.
fordnation JustinTrudeau make Canada greater again
Gm factory at st catharines
As long as Tesla does not expect or demand tax breaks at the cost of taxpayers who are already reeling under the high cost of living!
Blackface Trudeau will probably force Tesla to adopt a gender free workplace and make 85% of senior management BIPOC.
They're all coming to Ontario because this is where all the minerals and rare metals are to produce batteries. Entirely new towns will be popping up in the north for this.
fordnation will screw it up.
So long as we are not subsidizing huge amounts for the 'privilege' sure. And if Ontarians can get some discount from Tesla.
Coming to Ontario. The world's most expensive Tesla.
More bribe money coming!!!
This is great news! Make this happen fordnation
I don’t want a Tesla, but this would be great for Ontario & would create lots of jobs!
Doug Ford will say London lmao 🙄🙄
Ford is awesome!!!! This is all his doing.

St Thomas , old Ford property
Doug wants to build expensive electric cars for his friends.
Yaaaaasssssssssss
Not even sure if this will be a good idea, the reputation this company has for mistreating workers.
take that shit to B.C., that's more their speed.
The Doug Ford factor. You are welcome libs
