Between January 10 and January 12, after being warned that an EV rebate program was running out of funds, Tesla dealerships in Canada managed to claim 8,669 individual iZEV EV rebates, or about $43 million CAD in incentives. That’s a staggering number of sales to log in a single weekend, about 1.5 sales per minute. Let’s dig into the numbers.

    It’s not for “asking a question”

    1. I suspect the professionals looking into this potential fraud are going to think of these things.
    2. when and how hard you choose to play devil’s advocate says something about you.
    3. whether well intentioned or not this is Musk apologia at best, and excuses/misinformation at worst. I think our Transport Minister does basic diligence before asking for an investigation and having the story in the media.

    We’re all used to these “centrist” / “just asking questions” types and how they only crawl out of their holes to play devil’s advocate for fascists, it’s tired.

      Lol check my post/comment history and see how fucking wrong you are

      Literally caucused for Bernie.

      Everyone is so ready to pick up a pitchfork that you fail basic reading comprehension.

      I’m literally just trying to think of ways they could have EXECUTED this. I said nothing of the legitimacy, fairness, justice, or legality of the behavior

      It is the bread and butter of capitalist fucks to operate just barely within the letter of the law.

      This was never apologia and your (and others) penchant for picking a fight is toxic as fuck.

        Fair enough, I’m not going to do a background check on every poster but I see that I was lumping your response in with the originator of the thread and could have given yours a more charitable interpretation.
