    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…

        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”.

          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

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

        true as that may be, not filing the appropriate paperwork for 6800 cars is likely going to be a problem.

        example: Capone was taken down for tax evasion.

        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.
