No one is buying teslas anymore

One tesla store filing for 4000 rebates in a weekend as per the story isn't very likely


Well at this point what's more likely, that a dealership would intentionally commit blatant fraud that it 100% they would get caught for.
Or this is some Canadian yellow journalism to drive up contempt for Musk, Tesla, Trump, and America having reciprocal tariffs?

Didn't read cause don't care, just wanted to say that anybody rioting against Tesla should get rid of their phones if they want to have any form of moral superiority. Either way, it always makes you wonder if any of these "people" have jobs when they have time to go around doing any of this. Same thing with BLM riots. Destroyed civilized peoples properties just for the hell of it.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Tesla claimed committed sales (i.e. down payments on orders) as finalized sales because some lawyer found a loophole.

They're radicalizing their own against them. Liberals are the ones mainly driving ev's... Either way, if you destroy anyone's property then you're a piece of trash.

They need to be sentenced to restitutional labour to pay off their debt plus interest and a fine. Destroying a Tesla is close to 100 grand which is about 2 to 3 years hard labour, unless they want to pay the restitution plus hefty fine out of pocket.

This stuff only happens because these people have learned since their formative years, and enabled by the old regime, that they can destroy anything they want without accountability.

Probably, if this wasn't the case both the news media, and would of cited the statute, and implementing regulations.

Another not so great sign from insiders at Tesla selling outside of the trading plan is usually not allowed but something tells me it won't be enforced during this administration

99% sure that Tesla is committing blatant fraud here

https://motorillustrated.com/suspicious-tesla-sales-surge-triggers-canadian-government-investigation/149947/

Over a three-day period, Tesla reported selling 8,600 vehicles at four locations across the country, resulting in $43 million in government rebates.

One Tesla location in Toronto reported more than 1,200 sales on January 11 alone, accounting for $4 million in rebates.


If you own a Tesla you would know how these numbers could make sense. I have two Teslas so let me explain.

Buying a Tesla is done simply on your computer, or even your phone. You can reserve one and there is a waiting time for your VIN to be ready. Once you get the VIN, a pickup point will be given to you. You don't get to choose, but of course the system will choose one near you. Because of this, it's very possible that 1 or 2 locations get swamped with orders.

The timing is also explainable. Federal rebates were said to be expiring and that was officially announced early in 2025. When this happens, a swarm of "on the fence" buyers will want to cash in, myself included. I traded in my 2020 Nissan Sentra and got $20K off my Tesla purchase, and to sweeten the deal, Tesla lowered their price of the car by $1980, and I get an additional $2600 as an additional Tesla purchase. This $2600 also expired at end of 2024, so many people could have reserved their car Dec 31st 2024, and received their new Tesla in January.

Here in BC, the same thing happened when the provincial rebate expired in June 2024. Many customers rushed in their orders on the last day of $4000 rebates.

Anyway, with that in mind, you could see why there was an insane surge of Tesla cars being sold.
