MARCH 19, 2025 – Canadian border officials have begun turning away Tesla vehicles, citing safety and regulatory concerns. The move follows growing scrutiny over Tesla’s compliance with Canadian vehicle standards and data security regulations.
Government sources suggest the ban is linked to concerns over autopilot malfunctions and data collection issues. Critics argue the decision is politically motivated amid ongoing trade tensions.
Tesla owners attempting to cross into Canada have reported being denied entry, with officials instructing them to use alternative vehicles. The government has not provided a timeline for when, or if, the restriction will be lifted.
