2021 LA Auto Show Postponed Until November

The 2021 LA Auto Show has been pushed back from its previous date in late May to late November as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc on the auto show calendar.

This year’s edition of the LA Auto Show was previously set to be held from May 19th to the 31st. Organizers for the show did not say why they decided to push the event back once more, but it’s almost certain that the current situation with regard to COVID-19 in California was the main contributing factor.

The May date for the LA Auto Show was actually rescheduled from a previously scheduled date of November 18th to the 29th of 2020. That means this particular edition of the show is slated to take place almost a full year after it was initially scheduled. The last time an in-person Los Angeles Auto Show was held was in late 2019, just a few months before the COVID-19 pandemic took hold in North America.

This revised date will help differentiate the LA Auto Show from other U.S.-based shows also set to take place this summer, namely the New York Auto Show, which will be held from August 19th to the 29th. The North American International Auto Show in Detroit was previously set to be held in the summer as well, but it has now been indirectly replaced by the outdoor-only Motor Bella show, which will be held between September 21st and 26th.

With COVID-19 preventing major auto shows from going forth, automakers have been forced to get creative when it comes to vehicle debuts and host their own online unveilings. GM has debuted a handful of products this way so far, including the GMC Hummer EV and Cadillac Lyriq show car.

  1. Enough of this BS and get back to living.

    1. Unfortunately 400k people and counting no longer are living. I have no doubt the individuals who lost someone would happily give up the LA Auto show forever if they could have more time with their family members.

    2. Time to stop reading conspiracy theory websites and start reading actual news.

      1. The “actual” news is as bad as the conspiracy sites, but it’s skewed towards what the masses want to hear.

        When the “news” is doing live reads for big corporations is the news really the news anymore?

  2. But after “2 weeks” to flatten the curve, and the free market at every turn defying the “build back better” dogma, do we really believe the new world order will let this pandemic be over by November???? I highly doubt it.

  3. You have a .0014% chance of dying from COVID 19 in the USA. You have a .0003% chance of dying from it on a global scale.
    Tell me how this is such a crisis again? 600,000 people died from Heart disease in 2019 and no one even noticed. Sorry to anyone who experienced a loss of life. I wish all of you well.
