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.
Ohh wow governments actually can do basic forensic analysis when they don’t like the oligarch…
hmm, why can’t they do this shit with grocery stores engaged in price gouging?!
Fair point, but don’t make this a whattaboutism. Cheer them on for this
Just just highlighting that the regime can do something about these crimes but they give crocodile tears and do nothing.
Loblaw CEO should the rope for his crimes… but somehow government does not see it like that. hmmm
Governments are like the people. They tend to react only when it’s them that gets hurt. Until then, it’s thoughts, prayers, and “stop buying coffee”.
Is this loser buying his own cars to try to fraud the government now? “We sold 68 tesla each hours in this location were there’s literately people protesting in front of the dealership.” Of course you did lol. What a pathetic clown.
Well, Usk is a Canadian citizen, so is allowed to buy cars in Canada. Even his own.
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.

Wouldn’t that be fitting? After all this, Elon comes to Canada and is put away for life for defrauding the Canadian government.
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.
Does the US have any extradition agreements with CA?
Not for president Musk.
They did. Hasn’t been tested in the last two months.
Here’s hoping!
This is FALSE! Elon Musk would NOT Abuse the Government to line his OWN pockets! That’s what SINGLE MOTHERS WORKING THREE JOBS would do!
…really don’t know if you forgot the /s or not. My instinct is to assume you did forget it, but my assumption is also that nazis died in the 40s, and yet here we are with government officials giving the nazi salute on tv. So trusting my instincts hasn’t gone so well recently.
It’s okay! Mac is actually really funny in their sarcasm. They’ve been around for awhile, and this is their schtick. They talk like Trump or MAGAts would for the satire. :)
If you couldn’t suss out the obvious sarcasm, it might be time to go offline for awhile and recalibrate.
They didn’t forget it, it’s obvious sarcasm.
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.
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
Don’t you hate strapping young bucks buying a tbone at the steak house with their welfare checks tho?
This is the kind of shit that happens when you think everybody is stupid except you.

I fucking hate this melon guy, you know
All Tesla sales are suspicious unless it’s for sale by owner trying to purge Nazi paraphernalia.
There is no way Tesla offloaded 8600 swasticars in three fucking days. I bet this is hung on some no name middle manager
And at one dealership. Very sus
One dealer sold 1200. No idea how many more sold the rest. Or how many Tesla dealers there are in Canada.
4 dealerships total were involved, so 1200 was probably the lesser of the 4.
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.
Yall got reading issues. It says one of the dealerships sold 1200 in a single day.
None of you is asking the real questions: has he done something similar somewhere else?
Don’t you find it suspicious that sales have fallen massively everywhere but risen in the UK? How do we start an investigation there?
I saw a chart that said they were up by a factor of like 3. Would be interesting to see if this were true.
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.
