A car show in Vancouver removed Tesla Inc. as an exhibitor, citing safety concerns following a spate of vandalism against the electric vehicle company in apparent backlash to Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk’s role in the Trump administration.
Vancouver International Auto Show, which starts in the Canadian city on Wednesday, took the decision “after the automaker was provided multiple opportunities to voluntarily withdraw,” said its executive director Eric Nicholl in an emailed statement via a representative.
