Tesla Booted from Vancouver Auto Show Over ‘Safety Concerns’
Alright, let’s talk about what just went down at the Vancouver International Auto Show—Tesla, one of the biggest names in the industry, just got kicked out. Yep, you heard that right. Organizers of the event made the call to remove Tesla’s display, citing “safety concerns” as the main reason. Apparently, they had given Tesla multiple chances to withdraw voluntarily, but after the company didn’t take those opportunities, the decision was made to boot them from the show entirely.

Now, this isn’t just about an auto show. Tesla’s been dealing with a lot of heat lately, especially in North America. Protests against the company have been popping up in cities across the U.S. and Canada. And just this week, something even more serious happened—a Tesla repair facility in Las Vegas was attacked. A person dressed in black allegedly shot at vehicles and set several of them on fire. The FBI is now investigating it as a possible act of domestic terrorism.
And it’s not just Tesla as a company facing backlash—Elon Musk himself has been stirring controversy. Recently, he made a bold statement on his social media platform, X, claiming that “Canada is not a real country.” That didn’t sit well with a lot of Canadians, and in response, a petition was launched to strip him of his Canadian passport and citizenship. The petition gained over 375,000 signatures in no time.
On top of all this, Tesla is facing some real business challenges. For the first time, the company has reported a drop in annual sales, struggling against growing competition in the EV market. Even the used Tesla market is taking a hit—prices for pre-owned Teslas are falling at a much faster rate than the average used car. While most used car prices have dropped around 2.7% year over year, used Teslas have dropped by a staggering 7.3%.
So, Tesla being removed from the Vancouver Auto Show isn’t just an isolated event—it’s part of a bigger picture. The company is dealing with declining sales, public backlash, and safety concerns, all while Musk’s public statements continue to stir controversy. This could be a turning point for Tesla, and it’ll be interesting to see how they respond to all these challenges moving forward.
