The canadian government announced that it would wind down a consumer subsidy for buying EVs. And just like that, Tesla reported thousands upon thousands of car-sales over a single weekend.

Canada is witholding the payout of the subsidy until they have confirmed that the sales and these customers are real.

dealerships all called 'Showrooms' because Tesla owns them all? Can't say it wasn't management that did this. This was not an independent dealership.

And today Musk called Tim Walz creepy for making light of him when Tesla stock goes down when Musk was prancing around on a stage with a chainsaw around the same time he destroyed USAID. That is millions dying:

"Musk: I mean, have you Tim Walz, who is a huge jerk, running on stage with the Tesla stock price.. What an evil thing to do. What a creep, what a jerk. Like who derives joy from that?"

What a hypocrite. What a liar. What a thief.

3. It is great that the Canadian authorities are rebuffing the claims.

As discussed in the DU thread below, it is apparent that Tesla was using a shell game to gin up phony vehicle sales in order to submit claims for the grants offered by the Candian government.
