The numbers are highly suspicious, but the article doesn't seem to point to any actual specific accusation of wrongdoing. Were the cars sold to people in other countries and thus not eligible? Sold to corporate buyers and they're not eligible? The number of vehicles sold at the dealerships doesn't pass a sanity check but it's also unclear what is believed to have happened that was illegal. Were online sales ineligible for the subsidy so they were routed through dealerships? There appears to be smoke here but it's unclear where the fire is located, if it exists at all.

- bryanlarsen 2y agoTo try and steelman it: With Tesla you buy the car online, and don't sign the papers until you pick up the car. The day you sign the papers is perhaps the day you're considered to have bought the car, rather than the day you press the "buy" button. The cars tend to arrive in large batches, so it's very possible that a single months worth of sales arrived all on the same day and those papers were all signed on the same day.
