Summary
Tesla warned the U.S. government that it could face retaliatory tariffs due to Trump’s trade policies, and those concerns are becoming reality.
Canada has started targeting Tesla by excluding its products from EV charger rebate programs, with officials considering removing Tesla from a $4,000 EV purchase rebate as well.
Canadian politicians, including NDP leader Jagmeet Singh, have proposed a 100% tariff on Tesla imports.
Tesla, reliant on Canadian and Mexican manufacturing, now faces backlash over CEO Elon Musk’s close ties to Trump and his trade war policies.
So i was thinking about this some time now. EV’s are pretty specific and where i live, i have never seen a garage that specialised on EV’s in general. So when you import a car like that from a brand no one over here has heard off, what do you do with it when you have a problem, or need to get it serviced?
You’re done, there’s no reliable way to service EVs without a local network.
