- The disused car parks in Canada are filled with rows of any new EV Tesla.
- The cars appeared after 8,600 were recorded in four locations for a weekend.
- The unusual point occurred just before Canada took a catch on the Izev subsidies.
Tesla was accused by the Canadian Automobile Dealers Association (CADA) of cheating dealers and buyers of legitimate cars in Canada from Izev subsidies earlier this month. Critics have now become even more suspicious after images have emerged from hundreds of new Tesla electric vehicles left in disused car parks.
The Canadian media discovered huge fleets of new 3 models and the Y model that languished in the lot of an old shopping center in Toronto, ideally located opposite a Tesla dealer. Hundreds of kilometers away in Laval, in Quebec, journalists found scores more teslas stuck in parking berries in another lot.

8,600 amazing cars were recorded in just three days in four Tesla outlets in Canada, which is broken down into a car every minute, 24 hours a day for three consecutive days, even when the stores were closed. This kind of activity is very unusual, but what has really raised the eyebrows is the time of the sales buoyant.
Sales occurred during a period when Teslas demand in Canada had sung, partly due to the association of the CEO Elon Musk with President Trump, who threatened to impose significant import rates and suggested on several occasions that Canada could become the 51st state of the United States. But sales also occurred just before the country interrupted its Izev electric vehicle grant program, which led some to suggest that Tesla had played the system.
Tesla filed $ 43.1 million Canadian dollars (US $ 30 million), which represented more than half of the additional $ 71.8 million (US $ 50 million) allocated at EV discounts, and has left many Canadian automobile dealerships. They had known the delivery for each car they had sold themselves by understanding that they would be able to recover the money from the Canadian government, but that may not happen now.
A CTV News dealer spoke with a CS of $ 400,000 CA ($ 279,000) because the Tesla sales rush meant that he had not had the chance to claim before the program closed.

Tesla hopes better than the vandals behind recent attacks against her cars and exhibition rooms do not look at the news, because hundreds of models 3 and the YS model have parked together as a dream that has become reality for the demonstrators. We asked Tesla – who dissolved her press team in the United States – on lots of cars, but so far we have not received an answer.
