Vancouver Auto Show Sets Attendance Record Despite Tesla Ban - Discuss!
The 2025 Vancouver Auto Show boasted record attendance, even with the controversial Tesla ban. Does this demonstrate that auto shows are still relevant in the age of online information, or did the Tesla exclusion actually fuel curiosity and drive attendance?
The ban, citing security concerns after vandalism targeting Tesla assets, prompted a boycott from a Tesla owners group. Yet, the show thrived. Did the boycott fail, or was its impact negligible in the grand scheme of things? Is this a sign of waning Tesla influence, or simply a testament to the enduring appeal of auto shows?
Furthermore, the show highlighted a surge in EV test drives. With Tesla absent, did this offer other EV manufacturers an unprecedented opportunity to capture consumer attention? Could this be a turning point in the EV market, where other brands begin to seriously challenge Tesla's dominance?
Let's discuss the future of auto shows, the evolving EV landscape, and the implications of Tesla's absence from such a major event. Share your thoughts, experiences, and predictions.
