It was out of 4 dealerships. It's impossible to sale that many cars in three days from 4 dealerships, no matter how many people want to buy them. Plus no way was Canadian demand that high over a $5k rebate.

Tesla has always had problems with quality. In an attempt to increase profit and decrease production time Tesla has sacrificed quality control.

Many customers feel the need to do it themselves. So many do this that there are even people making money of it.

Tesla has always been like this. That's why they have mostly been cheap compared to competition.

Canadians are furious, but even considering an uptick to catch rebates this is pure fraud:

Let’s run the numbers:

• 8,669 iZEV rebates over three days claimed by Tesla dealerships.

• Mostly claimed by four Tesla locations.

• Tesla dealerships in Canada are open from 10 AM to 6 PM.

• That works out to 722 rebates per primary dealership per day.

• Which equals 90 iZEV rebates per hour.

• Or 1.5 Tesla sales per minute.

Let’s take a step back. Two Tesla sales every 90 seconds? That’s absurd. A good car salesperson might close two deals in two hours, not per minute. And that’s in a normal sales environment… not one where every eligible car has to be processed for a government rebate at the same time.

Even if there was a real run on Teslas, the numbers they claim to have sold are impossible. This is some sloppy ass fraud. The only way they could have "sold" that many was as fleets and if they did, I'd bet everything I own that it was money laundering.
