What happened

Well supportedReported by 5 independent outlets

Canada implemented tariff hikes and a low-tariff quota system for Chinese electric vehicles. Following this, Tesla stopped taking orders for its cheapest Model 3 in Canada, citing the government’s limited import quota. Federal data shows that as of October 9, less than 16,000 of the year’s 49,000 permits had been used.

The government is managing the quota system while simultaneously seeking joint-venture Chinese EV manufacturing.
