    Tesla location in Toronto reported more than 1,200 sales on January 11 alone

    those numbers look very fishy, and i used to work for Well Fargo, i am familiar sales manipulation :D

      naaaah, surely around 30 different massive companies all did a fleet order on the same day at the same dealership? there’s no way the wanker who constantly manipulates stocks would manipulate sales!

    The Presidents company will be charged but then his assistant will get mad at Canada and do something stupid with the tariffs.

    I don’t really get this. I understand it looks like fraud as tesla rebates are going away. However, who bought the Teslas? Are they saying the sales never occurred? Is some asshole going to have 32 cyber trunks in his driveway?

      However, who bought the Teslas?

      Likely nobody. These are probably sold only on paper, so “someone” can cash in on millions in rebates.

      I hope the investigation is swift and expands to other Tesla dealers, because this is probably not an isolated scam.
