Dealerships are commission environments. They don’t pay their people until that rebate comes through.
At times they’ll hold back one or two sales to apply for the rebate at the beginning of the next month. This happens when a dealership has had a particularly good month and has already hit its quota to get its incentive bonus from Ford/Chrysler/Etc… so they might as well bank them for the next month.
But never in a million years would they hold back $56000 in rebates. Their salesmen would riot.

Tesla doesn’t work the same way as other dealerships, they’re paid employees, you can’t negotiate the price, they just operate showrooms and offer test-drives.
That then begs the question of why would anyone do that shit job if there wasn’t the possibility of making fat stacks of commission. The earning potential (if you’re good) is literally the only good part about a dealership sales job! Everything else is absolutely miserable.
