Tesla Snubbed from Vancouver Auto Show - Is This the Beginning of the End for Traditional Auto Shows?
The Vancouver International Auto Show decided to exclude Tesla this year. While the show organizers claim there were no political motivations, it's hard not to raise an eyebrow. Is this a sign of the growing rift between legacy automakers and Tesla? Or perhaps something else entirely?
This move begs the question: are traditional auto shows becoming obsolete? Tesla has always marched to the beat of its own drum, preferring direct-to-consumer sales and online engagement. Do they even need these events anymore? And with other EVs gaining traction, could we see more manufacturers skipping these shows in the future?
I predict this is just the tip of the iceberg. In five years, I doubt auto shows will exist in their current format. The industry is changing rapidly, and clinging to outdated models is a recipe for disaster. What do you think? Is this a smart move by Tesla, or a missed opportunity? Let the discussion begin.
