Revolutionary technology creates cars that exist only on government rebate forms

“I absolutely love my new Tesla,” said customer Dave Thompson. “I’ve never actually seen it, but the rebate paperwork is exquisite, and I’m told I legally own ‘the concept of a car,’ which is so much more evolved than traditional ownership.”
Something about this is magical to me.
Funny as this is, I was hoping to read what they actually did and who ended up in prison for fraud … but thanks for the giggles … we need more of that in our lives.
This is akin to Musks fury with people being able to short stocks they don’t own.
Musk selling cars that don’t exist. Shorting his car supply to collect rebates he shouldn’t be allowed to.
IF that’s what happened, then I suspect that the legal process will persue any breaches of the law, but I would not at all be surprised if the end result is anything more than a slap on the wrist with a feather.
However, do you realise that this was a satirical article?
As far as I know, the investigation hasn’t concluded.
