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.
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.
There is no way in Tesla offloaded 8600 swaticars in three fucking days. I bet this hung on some no name middle manager
I suppose they can offload a lot of them into the ocean or something like that. But still too fast.
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.
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.
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.
All Tesla sales are suspicious unless it’s for sale by owner trying to purge Nazi paraphernalia.
I fucking hate this melon guy, you know

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.
