Richard, I've never lived in Canada so I won't make guesses on how regulations are there. In the US EVERYTHING is regulated in some way, shape or form ... liquor, food, cigarettes, clothing material, mattresses, lawn-garden products and yes car sales.
To expect special treatment just because your product is new or innovative or cool is foolish.
edit; The list of Federal regulations Tesla has already complied with is staggering, just opening a few dealerships in Texas, Michigan, etc in order to sell their product is nothing.
