The Vancouver International Auto Show set new attendance records, drawing over 138,000 visitors over five days and 42,000 on Saturday, despite banning Tesla due to safety concerns. Tesla was excluded following protests and vandalism at Canadian dealerships over CEO Elon Musk's involvement with the U.S. administration. Despite calls for a boycott from Tesla supporters, the event saw record-breaking crowds.
