Tesla Sales in Canada have dropped to 'Nearly Zero'

Nonononono! Remember when 8000 Teslas were sold on a single weekend by four locations?? By coincidence, just as the government rebate was ending?

It would appear that Tesla is doing what BYD is. Registering new cars then selling them to used car dealers to pump delivery numbers. There's dozens like this in my area and they all say 'new arrival' with virtually no miles.

Yeah whatever happened to that investigation?

And they are just finishing construction on a new Tesla sales and service building near my house in BC. Will be interesting to see how that goes. My daughter noticed an interesting thing: the new Tesla building is on Nicola ave. Ya, it has a different spelling than Nikola Tesla, but it is pronounced the same.

Tesla got barred from the govt incentive program

Thanks Canada! 🫵

First day after Ottawa re-instates EV rebate: all rebates consumed by just Telsa. You watch.

Sauce please. That would make me very happy.

Would love to see some listings of zero-mileage used Telsa. Please re-post them.

Also in south London ON.

There is this website called Google you can search for something along the lines of tesla canada barred govt incentive and it will literally give you links. Like literally

Tesla is banned from any future fed incentives

I suspect Tesla will do what they've been doing to people whose warranties are almost done; modifying the mileage driven to a false number so that this is not easily detected. Used vehicles at no miles, but the odometer reads 10,000 - 30,000 miles.

It's still going on, but the feds have banned Tesla from any further incentive programmes

Let me ask an AI to ask an AI to "Google" that for me, as you put it.

It's far worse. You can understand people not buying a Tesla for fear of being vandalized. Why bother with the headache. But so far, I haven't heard of any Teslas being vandalized in Canada. Other than my insurance rates going up for absolutely no fucking reason, driving a Tesla is the same as driving any other car. Other cars on the road aren't aggressive to me, or flipping me the finger, or anything. (btw, I bought my Tesla in 2020, long before all this shit). So when sales are going to zero, it's because Musk has destroyed the brand. Even cheap financing isn't enough to lure people back in even.

I saw three different cybertrucks in Toronto over the weekend. I can't say I wasn't tempted to vandalize, but I don't want to get filmed on social media.

So you’re saying to pump sales, they basically created a shitty version of the dealership model in place of the direct sales model they were so proud of?

thanks

My Agentic AI creator doesn't know what you mean...

It's just to make their delivery numbers look less bad temporarily.

Congrats Canada!

Yup, and instead of selling them at 0 miles, they'll falsify the mileage to 10,000 miles so that they don't have to admit that they're falsifying their sales.

Awesome but there are still a few resistive (or maybe Nazi) Canadians still buying them Nazi mobiles.

It has a VIN prefix of 7, meaning the vehicle was built in Australia. How can this be correct? EDITED for spelling and clarification

https://www.reddit.com/r/shitposting/comments/1kr6kvo/no_shit_sherlock/

Decreased transportation costs from delivering to based Canada! Bullish!

As far as I could tell, there were protests outside of their service centres but I never saw any reports of vandalism, at least in SW Ontario. A neighbour of mine has an M3 and two MYs in his driveway. He says he's never felt threatened by anyone

that can't be right. it's a 2026. this was the first quarter with an updated Tesla y and they still disappointed. not good.

Why do you want to damage someone’s property because you don’t agree with the CEO of the manufacturer. Beyond stupidity

Back in my day, we asked a fake butler named Jeeves to do our googling.

What is the actual cut off for a car to qualify for the $7,500 credit at this point? That webpage is showing a mileage of 76 miles. Just curious. Thanks!

I miss Jeeves.

Wonder if they will close down some dealerships? They're probably paying more to employees and building expense than profit making in Canada. They're also banned from future rebate programs.

https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/canada-freezes-rebate-payments-tesla-bans-it-future-rebate-programs-due-tariffs-2025-03-25/

It's pretty simple, since it's not a new car, you haggle on price and demand that they eat the "drive off" depreciation. You make them prove that the car hasn't been damaged by the previous owner.

Make 0 Great Again!

> And they are just finishing construction on a new Tesla sales and service building near my house in BC. I think they'll pivot. Free car when you buy an ice cream with sprinkles!

That’s because Elon is just stockpiling Teslas so they will be robotaxis and corner the lucrative taxi business. /s

And they put a hold on the payout Tesla was to receive.

A cybertruck is basically a giant sign thay says "I'm an elon supporting idiot with too much money for my own good." I wouldn't vandalize one myself, but if I saw someone else vandalize one, I wouldn't call the police.

Only to be expected, given what’s happened between the USA and Canada and Elons role.

If this is true, then Vancouver must make up the majority of whatever sales are still happening. I still see so many new Model Ys and Cybertrucks on the road that you'd think that Vancouverites either don't care at all about how awful the company is, or are stuck in 2018 thinking that there are no other viable alternatives.

😁

Some people prefer interacting, talking and discussing things with their own fellow humans, rather than robots. Imagine that.

Last time I checked Vancouver had the highest rate of EV usage in North America, all new north american EV's seem to appear there very quickly. So it would make sense to see a higher percentage of cyber trucks there than other cities.

And the stock keeps going up. Stupid stock Market

I thought this thread is about Canadian sales.

They didn't just put it on hold, they cancelled it altogether. Tesla sued, but I think they've rescinded due to disclosure.

Yeah, I mean, why would they need to sell those cars since pretty soon they will be used as robotaxis and become infinite money printing machines? 🤷‍♂️ /s TSLA +5% today on the news

I knew the stock would go up today, just like the last time negative news about Tesla. It takes a few days for things to settle down and the more realistic investors to understand what really happened. It's still at $315, which wasn't the boost I thought it was going to be. So there's hope yet.

It’s pretty much the same as walking around in a swastika t-shirt.

I noticed a very odd trend in Europe as well. Up until June the demand for Teslas was very slow, then in June it shoots way up again (to the top basically). July comes around - MTD for the couple of reporting countries on EU-EVs is basically super low again. I don’t know if it’s only me, but these seem manipulated.

It's no longer people trading stocks, it's just algorithms programmed to buy Tesla whenever they're mentioned in any news. Positive or negative.

Such good news!

Every Tesla X/Y I've seen has the 7 prefix.

Yeah, but the first number(s) in a VIM are the country code. 7 is Australia. 1 is USA 2 is Canada 3 is Mexico Etc Why 7?

That appears to be outdated. 7F-7Z and 70 are USA

Why not use 1?? Evryone else seems to be able to manage it

What an achievement for the whole humanity.. thanks!!

I will accept this honour on behalf of the 40M of us who call Canada our home. I'd like to thank God and my family..............

It’s also people getting overexcited by Robotaxis

I am in Canada and hooo boy they are super over priced here with no federal EV incentive.

They just increased the price by $5K-$25k. No one knows why

I think the Canadian Government should update auto safety laws to mandate that car dashes have buttons that can be navigated by touch and handles that are in plain sight and cannot be recessed so they can be reached for and pulled open without being hidden behind any kind of panels. Even without the CEO's antics, Tesla vehicles have novel design for novelty's sake that is unintuitive, making them into dangerous death traps when a panicking driver or passenger needs to get out of a burning vehicle and seconds matter.

Nearly zero isn’t zero. It should be zero. Musk be. Pun intended. 🤭🖕Elbow up 🇨🇦

People are still decent around here for sure. But the Nazi CEO/US definitely deserve all the shit of the world over their faces

Tesla claims the government was in 'Caretaker' mode (the election) and thus did not have the authority to make this decision. Caretaker. The arrogance.

Good job, buddies.

WHy the downvotes? It's a genuine question

Australia builds no vehicles now so....

No bullshit you may start seeing model 3s from like 2024 for like 20k pretty soon.

So their punishment is that they don’t get to keep the money they stole and they won’t be able to participate in any potential future incentive program. This seems like a potential punishment, rather than a punishment. It’s amazing how easily corporations get off for a huge theft when an individual gets harshly punished for the theft of a fraction of the amount.

They don't get the suspect claims, nor can claim in the future

That’s what I’m saying, not being able to keep the fraudulent claims you made isn’t really a punishment, that’s just how getting caught stealing works. You don’t get to keep what you steal. They don’t get to make claims in the future, but if they’re currently isn’t an incentive program, it’s not clear how big, if any, punishment will be. If there is no new incentive program, it’s possible that their only punishment is that they don’t get to keep what they steal, which isn’t really punishment.

Let’s make it 0, yeah?

Mandatory lidar for level 1 or 2. Proximity sensors, redundant cameras, minimum cpu/ai, etc.

You mean... Let's make it 0, eh?

25% tariff on EVs from the US.

I recently bought a Kia ev9 (no tariffs). Great vehicle, but I do feel very cheated that fElon musk basically stole the remaining EV fund - it feels like I was personally robbed by the “richest” person in the world…

Removing the turn signal stocks and not having interior door handles infuriates me and I don't even own a Tesla.

Maybe they could try getting the president to do an infomercial….oh wait.

BYD is doing this?

Tbf the investigation isn't done. Only then can they really bring punishment

Here's an article about it https://evsmarts.com/byd-accused-of-selling-used-cars-with-zero-miles/

Nice!

The best cybertruck in Toronto was one that had 'FORD' written on the back with duct tape. I should have taken a picture.

He is a welfare queen

"Nearly zero" probably includes the one the new Precedent of Canada bought...

[deleted]

I also have a Model 3, never had any issues. I took Tesla up on their 48 hour test drive of a CyberTruck. In two days I had 4 different people give me the finger and a motorcycle rider scream at me. Did not expect that in Canada. Although I don’t want a CyberTruck I was interested in the technology.

South Wpg dealership has had a dozen or so Teslers on lot looking abandoned for some time now. Not sure if dealership is shuttered or not, but it looks sad.

Musk was saying the same shit in the US after trump won, stating that Biden shouldn't be allowed to do anything since Harris lost the election and that the status-quo should be maintained until Jan 20th.

I have quite a few Canadian friends, and they are PISSED OFF.

Yep. I think most of us are

You mean we get paid by buying Tesla?

I don't understand MAGA. America has never stopped grating.

Enjoy living in whatever hate bubble you've built for yourself.

[deleted]

I just saw a brand new model y in Australia and really wanted to see the driver. They're either a dumb c#nt or a shit c#nt.

It's one thing to hate on Elon. If you're hating on anyone who bought or drives a Tesla, you're living in a hate bubble. Not healthy my dude, but you'll figure that out one day.

[deleted]

China really has some bizarro economics going on.

dude, you ooze hate.

[deleted]

Not really. I hate musk probably more than you. He screwed me over, not you. But that's a different issue from you being filled with mindless, aimless hate.

[deleted]

Hahahahahahahahahaha *deeeep breath* Hahahahahahahaha

Damn. Took Elon 10 years to build when red necks were laughing at EV. Liberals supported this ketamine boy and he threw liberals under the bus. Took years to build and weeks to months to destroy

and doors can be unlocked manually if the electrical sys fails

Yeah, I came here to say that just based on that alone would piss people off let alone everything else Elmo is doing

Not to be a dick about it, but yoh could've easily seen that Musk is a wanker in 2020 already.

🤪Elmer Fudd🤪

Why is this a big deal to you?

What technology does it have? Genuinely asking, I am quite up to date on EVs and the CT is not class leading in any respect I am aware of

TSLA to the moon, it is.

🇨🇦💪🇨🇦💪🇨🇦💪🇨🇦

Tesler

The 48V low voltage system rather than 12V. The steer by wire and the 4 wheel steering. It turns way tighter than other vehicles and the steering ratio essentially varies with speed. It is the first Tesla with a bidirectional charger and it has high capacity outlets including 240V (14-50 plug) in the back of the bed. The rest of the vehicle is normal Tesla tech.

Every time I see a Telsa I'm a little grossed out that the person willingly gave money to Elon Musk.

that's because there was virtually zero inventory of Model Y in Europe until Jun, except in Norway; people were visiting Tesla stores in many countries in Europe for the past couple months and there were no cars available, the Berlin factory is pumping them out and inventory is increasing; assume sales are going to trend up sharply now.

alternatively they are smart as they want to buy the best product and aren't butt hurt by feelings of the nonsense the MSM feeds them ?? I mean ... that's the likely scenario LOL

robotaxi, market cap is going to continue to increase so assume the stock price will follow

[deleted]

Thats Mr. Jeeves to you.

Yeah Teslas in particular don’t have good reputations for holding up in the asscrack of winter here in Ottawa, so it makes sense that Vancouverites would have fewer issues with that since the climate is much more temperate. There is exactly one cybertruck driver in my city that gets spotted and you never see them driving around in the winter

Yes in Caretaker mode apparently illegal activities are also ok.

And I would have gotten away with it if it weren’t for those pesky kids!

In old feudalism, if a noble killed a peasant, everyone knew it was different than a peasant killing a noble. People didn’t like that and revolted. In neo-feudalism, rich people don’t always get away with crimes (sometimes even negligent homicide) but companies do. Of course those crimes were done by the company to benefit the owners, who are people, but they are shielded from liability. It really such a smarter way to do it (from the Lord’s perspective). All the profits of crime, none of the revolts. Hell, the peasants will even vote for the absolutely pro-Lord party over the mostly pro-Lord party.

[deleted]

The payouts never actually even happened - Transport Canada immediately **froze approximately $43 million** in payments. The investigation is about whether they will ever happen plus, as others have said, whether further punishment is justified

Tesla is the new Saturn!

On October 1, Tesla will no longer be able to sell carbon offsets which amounts to 40% of their revenue. That's when the EV tax credit goes away too. TSLA will show huge losses after that. No wonder Elon wants to primary all Republicans who voted for the Big Bill.

Well, turns out they did nothing wrong. The investigation finished and cleared Tesla. You shouldn't ever have such a strong opinion before an investigation is concluded. * [The Star](https://www.removepaywall.com/search?url=https://www.thestar.com/politics/federal/millions-of-dollars-in-tesla-ev-rebate-claims-were-legitimate-ottawa-says/article_be510e14-4207-5098-bbc7-68dbb531fdc7.html).

I stand corrected.

Well to start. FSD and their hydraulic steering is amazing,! Innovation is being killed and it's just gunna get worse with AI and everyone thinking they know everything. Experience is the only teacher of life. So fk your lyfe. We all doomed when that robot gets in households........ Do the Grok walk!! And say bye to creativity and how to talk.

I owned a eqe at start of year and it just blew up on me out of nowhere after 4000kms and MB took full responsibility but icbc still gave them 66k and I have. A $140claikm on my insurance. Not one tech could fix the car. Not a debt or scratch on it. Just died. While purchasing it they were basically jumping up and down proud saying that their tech level is further then mars compared to Teslas. While my eqe couldn't even stay in the lines of the road. And has the most restrictions I've ever seen fkn liars. Fk evs fk MB and fk all these politicians. If space x goes to China we fkt. And I think 7 on a vin is German no? The richest country out the EU. Texas move for musk was planned. All his moves are purposely dun. Liquid cash flows and that well will run. Dry how many times has he been tried to be kicked out of Tesla CEO. Since he was not the founder remember that. He lies a lot like his water engine. Or that he has no rare earth in his battery productions. Pffff Apple Samsung Google are the real cobalt criminals not Tesla? Okay. China has 150 ev companies. Which we all can't have access to and cheap with future innovative tech. To get rid of the giant or elephant in the room make or let the competition in dipshits. Tarrifs ain't hurting anyone but the poor. And ones who care. We have no knowledge of China's intentions and creations same with Rus. So beware. The briks own u and. Have all the cards. Covid was a hand played by China betrayed by the infamous dr falsey. Everything comes full circle. I'm scared shitless of ai. Mara sounds good cus he knew AI would eventually become owners of us. Binary and AI less then ten years. Good bye simple life. Good bye ice and glaciers. China makes highly illegal moves. They own Africa. U watch. They own MG? A uk company? Canada right in the too. Vinfast almost bankrupt why cut off a man who trying to help average people. Make universal income. Make ibogaine a pharma drug and return the profits to everyone who's lost their loved ones to China's major card. Fenty. Why we the only dumbasses to use the shit too late. Biden fkt every single thing up. I knew he would. Signing shit he had no idea what it says. Facts. So evil is on the rise in a unstoppable unbelievable hurry

You either need way more or way less medication.

I do own a Tesla and getting my radar removed which i paid for by Tesla as now they are camera only company was a stab in the back
