Tesla sales in Québec plunged 85% in the first quarter, mirroring sharp declines seen in Europe.
Canada has frozen $43 million in Tesla EV rebates due to Trump’s tariffs and fraud concerns.
Musk’s DOGE work sparked backlash, boycotts, and dealership vandalism across the US and Europe.
I live in Toronto and it’s Tesla land over here. I see those things everywhere. I wish I could say this was because of the electric car thing, but I see those hideous cyber trucks almost daily, so there’s lots of Elon fuck boys here.
I think you need to wait a generation of car buying before really coming to any conclusions.
I bought a Model Y when they first came out and still drive it, but I’m 99% sure I’ll be “one and done” with Tesla once it’s time for me to buy my next car. There are some features of my Tesla that I like, but plenty I dislike as well. I don’t agree with Elons ideas of minimizing controls, relying on vision for all automation, etc. The idea of windshield wiper controls being a couple levels deep in touchscreen menus is a terrible idea.
The only way I’d buy a second Tesla a few years down the line is if they gave up on the minimalist/touchscreen route and started reintroducing physical controls for most functions. But it’s a safe bet Elon will never allow that as long as he’s running things.
When I do finally decide to replace my Tesla a few years from now there will be significantly more EV options out there. And with the J3400 connector now an open standard and Tesla SuperChargers supporting non -Tesla EV’s, there’s even less incentive to stay with a Tesla EV.
I don’t judge Tesla drivers, most are liberal people who got fooled. But cyber trucks are a whole different thing, Elon was very clearly a far right bigot by the time the cyber truck was released
I live in Toronto and, while I see Tesla cars often, I’ve never seen a cyber truck in person.
I spotted one of those fuckers parked outside Trinity Bellwoods yesterday. Shame since I was having a good day til then.
Markham. I saw two at the same intersection.
There’s one that lives around Sherborne and Richmond as well 😁
There’s one in Cornell around where I live. I “booed” it and my friend hit me. I was like, “they bought that truck to get attention, it just so happens it’s negative”
This is the way
I never s aw one until about a month ago, now I’ve seen maybe… 7? Including two driving together and one was either vandalized or… Uhh… It was artistic.
I moved out of Toronto 4 years ago. Just came here for the weekend and I saw 5 cybertrucks in one day.
I live closer to Mississauga/etobicoke so that might have something to do with it. Car bros/dbags populate the west end
There’s way too many swasticars here, but it’s still like one third of what I used to see in NYC. One time one of those fuckers blocked a major intersection to shoot off illegal fireworks.
Can confirm. Everyone in my neighborhood has a Tesla - there are at least 3 on my short block. I’ve seen a couple of cyber trucks passing by my area, but they’re not as popular.
