This attack is the latest in a series of incidents targeting Tesla cars, stores and Superchargers, not only in the U.S. but also in Canada, mostly as a result of CEO Elon Musk’s role in the new U.S. government under president Donald Trump.
It also came on the same day Vancouver Auto Show organizers decided to remove Tesla vehicles from the event (March 19-23, 2025) due to safety concerns.
