Tesla’s recovery in Canada is being driven by a surge in imports of its affordable Model 3, which has strengthened its market position. However, as Chinese automakers prepare to enter the domestic market, competition for limited import quotas is intensifying, potentially reshaping the electric vehicle landscape. Analysts warn that the shift could create new challenges for Tesla and other foreign brands already operating in the country. The upcoming arrival of locally produced Chinese EVs adds urgency to the quota debate.
