Tesla Dropped from Vancouver Auto Show Over Safety Concerns

Event organizers cite worries over protests and focus on attendee safety as tensions rise between Tesla, Elon Musk, and Canadian stakeholders.

  • The Vancouver International Auto Show removed Tesla a day before the event, citing safety concerns related to potential protests.
  • The decision follows growing backlash in Canada against Elon Musk's political role in the Trump administration and U.S. trade policies.
  • Tesla was recently excluded from British Columbia's EV rebate program, a move linked to Musk's influence in U.S. government decisions.
  • The 'Tesla Takedown' movement has staged protests in Canada, urging boycotts of Tesla products and criticizing Musk's leadership.
  • Musk's controversial remarks, including a deleted post calling Canada 'not a real country,' have further fueled tensions between the company and Canadian stakeholders.
