Wonder if the end of the subsidies against a 7% increase is sales, potentially due to end of subsidies is a canary?

  You mean like the thing where Telsa magically sold a not-really-logical number of vehicles in Canada when subsidies were running out there?

    If you follow up on the story, Tesla was cleared of all wrong doing after an investigation. Tesla did sell that number of vehicles, they just were very behind on filing for the incentives, but still within the program guidelines. Once the government announced that the incentives were running low, they filed all of their backlog at once. I love to hate on Elon as much as the next person, but everything was above board. https://driveteslacanada.ca/news/canada-clears-tesla-in-izev-rebate-investigation-43m-payment-unfrozen/ https://driveteslacanada.ca/news/canada-clears-tesla-in-izev...

      I think there's something else going on there, although yes, that was the statement. > Tesla’s head of sales for Canada, emphasized in a March 28 letter that the filings followed program guidelines, which allowed post-delivery submissions despite recommendations for pre-delivery assessments. but this alludes to something more: > Despite the clearance, Tesla will still be excluded from future iZEV programs Huh. Why, I wonder?

        If you read the rest of the sentence you removed the second quote from you will see why. It isn't a mystery, the PM of Canada and several premiers have openly stated that Tesla isn't going to be eligible because Musk is Musk, and Tesla is American.

        Why would Tesla have a Head of Sales in a Fake Country (TM)?
