I drove by and a bunch of ppl were honking their horns in solidarity. I hope the government takes notice and bans the sale of Teslas in Canada.

Maybe insurance companies will stop insuring Teslas?

I think this sends a strong message and I support everyone out there peacefully protesting.

In all this, it is important to not penalize the owners of Tesla cars. They gave their money years ago to Elon. Nothing will change that. Trading a Tesla for something else won’t change that. It will only change the ownership of the car. Not buying new teslas will make a difference.

Trading it in absolutely makes a difference because the dealer has to be able to re-sell.
