Description
Tesla's Canadian website says Model 3 Premium orders are paused because high demand exhausted its import quota. Ottawa's own report says about two-thirds of the 49,000-car quota for China-built electric vehicles is still unused.
Doug Brennan, a Canadian mechanic, walks through how the quota works, why nearly every car that has come in under it appears to be a Shanghai-built Model 3, what the two sides of the debate say, and whether Ottawa should have capped any single carmaker. You also get a practical checklist if you're thinking about a China-built EV in your province.
Where do you land on the cap? Tell us in the comments.
