Tesla Dealers Claimed They Sold 8,653 Cars in 3 Days in Canada. Did They?
The sales numbers provided by the company-owned shops allowed them to claim tens of millions in government rebates. Now those numbers are under scrutiny.

If we assume that the dealers did a 24 hour shift it means:
- 3 Days á 24 Hours = 72 hours
- 8653 Cars / 72 Hours = 120 cars per hour
- 120 / 60 = 2 cars per minute...
- So one car sold every 30 seconds.
If we assume normal 8 hours per day:
- 3 days á 8 Hours = 24 hours
- 8653 / 24 = 360 cars per hour
- 360 / 60 = 6 cars per minute.
- So one car sold every 10 seconds.

Per the article it was a combines sum from 4 dealerships. Multiply the times by 4 for the average per location.
A dealership selling a car every 40 seconds is still physically impossible.

I was gonna do the math but I knew my fediverse nerds would math the math first.
Now the Canadian government wants to know exactly how the electric carmaker managed to move two cars a minute off its lots — a rate that assumes those four dealers had stayed open 24 hours from Jan. 10 to Jan. 12.
the article's author did the math too!
