A messy supply chain gets messier Tesla’s Canadian supply chain has been through a series of upheavals over the past two years, all driven by an escalating tariff war between the US, Canada, and China. Before any of this started, Tesla supplied Canada with Chinese-made Model 3 vehicles from Giga Shanghai alongside US-built units. That ended in late 2024 when Canada followed the US and slapped a 100% tariff on Chinese EVs, effectively killing that supply route.
