Bad idea. China isn't better than the US, and their EVs are a safety and security risk in and of themselves.

I can imagine Canada being in a position to collaborate with friendly countries to develop a safe, secure and open alternative to Tesla and "CCP-mobiles". If that becomes a reality, everyone benefits.

Goverment can pass a law that says EVs should be opensource, so they can be audited. Wait, western capitalists have allergy to disclosing sourcecode. Waitยฒ, this would expose how unsafe american EVs are.

It feels unrealistic. Remember EU's DMA which targeted Apple's app installation restrictions? That Act still has done nothing of value and Apple has so far given the EU a middle finger. Isn't open sourcing Tesla a much bigger ask?

Laws must be enforceable, otherwise what's the point...

The goal is not to make specifically Tesla opensource. The goal is to make all EVs sold in country opensource. And there WILL be at least one company willing to do so in hope to get entire country's market to themselves. Likely many of them. And it will solve root of problem in data privacy.
