    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.

    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.

        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.

        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.

            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.

      I suppose they can offload a lot of them into the ocean or something like that. But still too fast.

    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?
