To quote the lady in the video, “God I love New Orleans”
That was a great read, thanks for posting that!
Today I larnt!
If you only ever drove Fords, you would think “AGUGGUUUG” was a natural sound for an automatic to make 😂That’s innovation, Tesla should take notes!
Love the versioning. Saw minor edits to the “Fork in the Road” landing page over time, including the cleaning up of just plain sloppy typos. They clearly deployed half-cocked, didn’t even run spell-check.
TL;DR: Yes, it is shit.
I can’t say that it is certainly fraud.
… But I can certainly say that Tesla has historically never come close to registering that sort of single weekend sales performance while taking advantage of the iZEV program in Canada :)
For some reason, their most lucrative rebate performance came after Elon’s controversial backing of a US president who, among other things, is calling for the annexation of Canada under the threat of economic (and maybe military?) ramifications.
How about that! You would think that would be really unpopular to be associated with, seeing as how Canadians have a proudly independent streak. It’s causing ~50-75% drops in sales in politically-similar NATO states. Then, just in Canada, that talk apparently coincided with huge sales gains, and just as the EV rebate program was due to run out of funds. Strange!
These next few weeks are going to be really interesting as the Canadian Transportation Minister confirms the details on that rebate program, like she has stated she intends to.
