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.

I always thought it was normal that dealers buy their own cars to buff the sales figures, especially towards the end of the quarter.

When I'm looking for a car or motorcycle I always check for young, preowned vehicles - they're pretty much new and much cheaper.

It is quite normal but I’m sure that they wouldn’t normally do it to that extent.
