Suspicious Tesla Sales Surge Triggers Canadian Government Investigation
-
Wouldn’t that be fitting? After all this, Elon comes to Canada and is put away for life for defrauding the Canadian government.
-
One dealer sold 1200. No idea how many more sold the rest. Or how many Tesla dealers there are in Canada.
-
Buying a shit ton of your own cars to then claim the government rebate for EVs, but still having those cars available for sale is fraud.
-
If you couldn’t suss out the obvious sarcasm, it might be time to go offline for awhile and recalibrate.
-
4 dealerships total were involved, so 1200 was probably the lesser of the 4.
-
It's a level of obvious sarcasm, so obvious that if it weren't sarcasm, people would rally together to hunt them down like the dogs they are.
-
Officials are now reviewing the Tesla sales data to determine if any irregularities occurred during the program’s final days.
8,600 Teslas
4 Locations in 3 days (one reported 1,200 sales in one day)
$43 mil in rebates ($4 mil in one day)Let’s be generous and say the cheapest Tesla is $40k before any rebates. That’s $344 mil in sales, with an average of 2,150 Teslas per day.
I’m pretty sure it’s obvious there are irregularities.
-
It's just the kind of shit a con would say just to fuck with people
-
Cons wouldn't use the phrase "single mother working three jobs".
-
That's true, they'd say welfare Queen or something
-
Yall got reading issues. It says one of the dealerships sold 1200 in a single day.
-
Later in the story it mentions registrations. I wonder if they just registered a heap of them shortly after the government said they were likely going to pause the rebates but before they did. I wonder if all that is now effectively stock they can sell but with the rebate?
Should be investigated either way. -
I suppose they can offload a lot of them into the ocean or something like that. But still too fast.
-
If he's under investigation there, he'll probably never visit Canada again.
-
Yes, keep on reminding people how much better Canada is. And, unlike oil, this kind of better can't be exported by invading.
-
8600 from 4 dealerships in 3 days, or 12 dealership-days. So, about 700 per dealership per day on average. The 1200 in one day is likely the max, which is typical for these kind of statements.
