The Vancouver International Auto Show kicked the Tesla exhibit from this week's event due to “safety concerns” over the protest against owner Elon Musk, including multiple incidents that Tesla vehicles are on fire.
Tesla was “removed” from a massive car show that last year depicted 130,000 visitors “relating to the protest” due to safety concerns.
“In addition to what we saw in Canada and the US, there were some protests in Vancouver this week,” they added.
While the automaker was given “multiple opportunities to voluntarily withdraw,” the show's “main concern is the safety of participants, exhibitors and staff,” the spokesman said.
Tesla did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the post.
The mask's automaker is still included in the official guide online, and it has been revealed that Tesla will be introducing the Model 3, Model Y and CyberTruck at the Vancouver Show.
The car show, which begins on Wednesday and ends on Sunday, includes booths from major automakers such as Hyundai, Ford and Chevrolet.
Tesla was punted from the show's space as he became the target of demonstrations protesting mask ties with the White House and his recent support for German far-right parties.
Just as masks have made some controversial calls — for example, to demolish the Ministry of Education — there is an increasing number of iconic attacks on Tesla vehicles.
Most recently, shocking video footage showed a line of Tesla cars engulfed in flames at a Las Vegas Service Center where officers are investigating for arson.
One woman was recently arrested for throwing Molotov cocktails into many parking vehicles at Tesla dealers in Colorado and painting “Nazi cars” with spray paint. Four Tesla Cybertrucks were torched earlier this month in Seattle
The massive demonstrations also target dealers across the country, including one in Manhattan earlier this month. Police officers have arrested at least five protesters for trespassing.
The website “DogeQuest” is reportedly making public personal information about Tesla vehicle owners nationwide to be embarrassed and intimidated.
Musk drew the canucks anger after Canada said “it's not a real country.”
His comments sparked a petition to remove his Canadian passport and citizenship, which attracted a whopping 375,000 signatures.
Although he was born in South Africa, Musk obtained a Canadian passport as a teenager through his Canadian mother, May Musk.
