Dude, "LOL online orders exist" is absolutely the slam-dunk I think it is here.
>First, that single weekend's 8.6k sales (if the timestamps are to be believed) are than Tesla's Canada sales for the entire prior month (Dec 2024) as well as exceeding the total for any month in 2024.
Yes, happens when the government announces they're going to take $5,000 away in a few days.
>Second, even a mob of frenzied Canadians car-buyers would probably fall more-evenly across different sellers, and across more days of the month, rather than being so unusually-concentrated.
Wrong:
Tesla clearly outpased the competition, Model Y selling double what the second place competition was.

Tesla was selling double of what the competition was in the same rebate program less than a year ago.

The frenzy was due to the government ending the rebate program.
>Finally, remember that the incentive program was already slated to end within another month or two, not a year later or whatever.
You missed it, they made another announcement that it was ending within days. That caused a frenzy.
>This places limits on how big we can expect the crowd of procrastinating car-buyers to be, especially since for most people cars are not impulse-buys.
Once the end of the program was announced, the buying commenced.
