‘It’s just a used Tesla’: B.C. car dealership receives blowback for selling Cybertruck

Amid troubled relations between Canada and the United States, there has been some backlash to Elon Musk’s Tesla Cybertruck.

When a car dealership in Gibsons on the Sunshine Coast posted a Tesla Cybertruck for sale, it highlighted how deeply divided some people are.

Todd Macdonald with Haley Dodge Sunshine Coast told Global News that the sale generated many comments on social media, with many expressing their opposition against Musk.

Other comments said this was just a local business trying to sell a car.
