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.

    Remember, it’s an Elon Musk gig. He easily confuses billions and millions on his DOGE website.

    My guess is, Tesla in fact sold 8.669 vehicles this weekend - i.e. eight new cars and 0.669 car’s worth of spare parts.

    It’s so easy to mistakenly type a comma when you meant a period…
