minus-squaredohpaz42@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up168arrow-down1·2 days ago Officials are now reviewing the Tesla sales data to determine if any irregularities occurred during the program’s final days. 8,600 Teslas 4 Locations in 3 days (one reported 1,200 sales in one day) $43 mil in rebates ($4 mil in one day) Let’s be generous and say the cheapest Tesla is $40k before any rebates. That’s $344 mil in sales, with an average of 2,150 Teslas per day. I’m pretty sure it’s obvious there are irregularities.
