Vancouver Auto Show excludes Tesla due to safety concerns
The Vancouver International Auto Show has decided to remove Tesla from its event this week. The decision was made due to safety concerns. Eric Nicholl, the show's Executive Director, stated the main priority is the safety of workers, attendees, and exhibitors. He mentioned that Tesla was given several chances to voluntarily withdraw from the show. This choice was made to help everyone focus on enjoying the event. The removal follows protests over the weekend, known as "Tesla Takedown." These protests took place in Ottawa and Metro Vancouver. Demonstrators were criticizing Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his advisory role to U.S. President Donald Trump.
