I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, youâre fired!

As far as I know, Teslas are not banned from importation into Canada. But they may take other actions as developments occur.
