Tesla pulls entire US-built Model 3 inventory from Canada overnight

Over the weekend of March 1 to 3, Tesla's Canadian showrooms emptied out. Every Model 3 demo unit and every new vehicle on each lot was pulled from the floor and loaded onto trucks headed south. Reddit users in Canadian Tesla communities noticed first: the cars were gone. No discounts. No quiet relocation. All were shipped back to the United States without any public explanation. This happened on the same weekend Canada's new Chinese EV import quota went into effect. Tesla kept silent. The empty parking lots told the story.

Hertz dumps 30,000 Teslas at half price in $2.9B loss as Americans flee back to gas

Rows of electric vehicles — predominantly Tesla Model 3s — lined a Hertz lot, waiting for buyers who never arrived. Vehicles that once cost $40,000 each sold for as little as $20,000. Thirty thousand cars, all marked down. Used rental cars became distressed inventory, auctioned off like furniture from a closed restaurant.
