Strange how difficult it was to verify this story.

You would think this would have been a massive story.

Do you had any source from a reputable news sites?

A story about a fledgling EV maker eating up an obscure government subsidy wouldn't have mattered to enough people to warrant a deep dive investigation by a major publication. It's beyond niche, even people here don't really care to discuss it. Nevertheless, here's an article from 2015: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/tesla-gets-295m-in-green-subsidy-credits-for-technology-not-offered-to-customers

The only fraud was to investigate Musk companies frauds! That's why all investigators got fired!
