Tesla’s sales in Canada have rebounded thanks to a surge in imports of its affordable Model 3, easing earlier slowdowns in the market. However, as Chinese automakers prepare to enter the domestic market with their own budget-friendly models, competition for limited import quotas is intensifying. Industry analysts warn that the shift could tighten supply chains and raise prices for consumers. The move reflects broader tensions between foreign and emerging domestic manufacturers vying for market share.
Imports of the low-cost Model 3 have helped Tesla bounce back in Canada. But the competition for quota appears to be heating up ahead of the launch of domestic China brands.
