Tesla Dealers Claimed They Sold 8,653 Cars in 3 Days in Canada. Did They?
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.
Without reading through the article: No, I'm pretty sure they didn't sell that many cars. --
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.
They technically probably did. They sold them to themselves. The plan was to sell them, get the credits, then sell them as used zero mile vehicles at a discount.
It’s shady as hell and they should be fined.
Nah of course not it’s obvious fraud. Question is what happens now ?
