Tesla Excluded from Vancouver Auto Show Amid Safety Concerns
The exclusion follows incidents involving safety threats linked to the company and its CEO, Elon Musk.
Tesla has been removed from the Vancouver International Auto Show due to safety concerns involving the company and its CEO, Elon Musk.
Organizers of the show stated that Tesla was 'removed' after several opportunities for voluntary withdrawal from the event were presented.
Their primary concern was to ensure the safety of participants, exhibitors, and staff.
Tesla did not immediately respond to requests for comment regarding the matter.
The company has recently faced protests in various cities across the United States and Canada.
In a notable incident reported on Tuesday, an individual dressed in black fired shots and set several Tesla vehicles ablaze at a repair facility in Las Vegas, an event currently being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as a potential act of domestic terrorism.
Elon Musk himself has attracted criticism from some Canadian citizens following a controversial post on his social media platform, X. He stated last month that Canada 'is not a real country,' prompting over 375,000 Canadian residents to sign a petition calling for the revocation of his Canadian citizenship.
The electric vehicle manufacturer is also experiencing its first decline in sales amid heightened competition and backlash related to Musk's role during Donald Trump’s presidency, where he served as a chief advisor and led efforts to significantly reduce the federal government.
Tesla has recently reported its first annual sales decline in its history, and indications suggest that sales of its used vehicles are also decreasing.
