Interesting thread and I definitely share a lot of the sentiments here. Wanted to give my 2 cents as well. I have bought 4 Teslas and still own 3 of them, though I definitely wish I had used the money to buy TSLA during those years... time machine, I know... My first Tesla was a 2016 S60 when...

It's skewed towards "poorly manufactured" because people that got those cars typically like to whine about it :) while owners like you rarely share a smooth experience because it's really nothing special when it comes to buying and owning a car.

Even red restraint release buttons aren't on the list anymore, so yea, minimal differences

Maybe you know something that he doesn't. I don't have a clue what modifications are done at the factory, but I have read that to import a US Model 3 to Canada, there's close to nothing that needs to be done to get up to spec, lol...

There is very little to none Canadianization in these cars, if my local SC manager is to be believed.

Some are now saying with heat pump, there's no heat when it's cold outside...

How can the Canadian cars avoid that if they are being shipped from the same exact factory? :p

Good point :)

I don't think any of my cars are lemons. They are just typical Tesla vehicles that are poorly manufactured. Not sure if you understand that or not. YMMV is Your Mileage May Vary. Some owners have never experienced any issues with build quality, some have, so it really depends. I don't quite...

No, unless Tesla decides to do a SR- like they did for the 3

I think you just got lucky. I've owned a Model S, 3, and X and all three cars required, and still does require, countless number of trips to the SC or mobile appointments throughout the years. So it's definitely YMMV. But I have a feeling that you are just luckier than the average owner as we...

It's available on tesla.com for Canada as well. Anyone gonna order? ;)

Glad it worked out nicely for you. Enjoy the car.

That's the used Tesla buying experience... It's a lot of guesswork and praying... Since you were picking up this weekend, I'm assuming you either have the car already or walked away. Hope you are enjoying it if you did go ahead with it though. Share with us your experience if you'd like.

With tesla being tesla, I'm guessing it'd only apply to those that got the refurb unit. Those that went MCU2 would be out of luck as tesla would claim that to be an upgrade, lol... Just my wild guess though.

Llyod's location is in California, so yes, that number is USD

@BrettS I'm having a tough time getting hold of solar sales. Tried the chat function but gave me someone from CA and isn't responding to emails or calls. Let me know if you have any contact info that you could share, thanks.

What's the price if only want the wheels no tires? Or maybe someone would consider splitting a package who may just want tires?

Probably at a much higher interest rate to compensate for the higher risk.

I have a friend that worked for Tesla in the US and he said they are indeed salaried with no commission per sale, but there are bonus for the team if they hit certain sales targets.

Cost would be another factor, at least for me. Pretty much every single thing my builder offered me was really overpriced, like $15/sqft to change the color of the hardwood, lol... However, the NEMA 14-50 in the garage was the most reasonable one on the list. They charged me $500 and I gladly...

That's pretty cheap for an essentially new LR RWD.

No worries. It starts at $105,990 with the recent price drops.

He's talking about Canadian Dollars while you are talking US Dollars.

I always treat my Teslas as technology products rather than cars. If I have an older smart phone that is no longer getting updates, it's time to upgrade. Obviously Tesla cars are way more expensive than smart phones, but I try to convince myself mentally that way. Another way to think about is...

Yea, unless Elon decides to make it FWD.

The current Tesla exchange rate is 1.4. A single motor MY would be close to $45K US, which would be $63kCAD. That'd be my guess

So you'll have to wait for 6 weeks without a working MCU? How does that even make sense? You'd think they'd offer you MCU2 in this case (obviously whether you want it or not is another question).

That's very typical Tesla, lol... The benefit of buying used via Tesla is also very clear, you get a new warranty and the pricing is pretty competitive. I would just schedule service appointments after you take delivery and get the issues addressed.

It could very well be just for the US, not Canada

Added the resort to my list. I know it's off topic, but where else do you guys recommend to visit from the GTA?

Yea, it's likely to be really minor things. I doubt the US version has stickers in French though. Plus the LTE chip you mentioned. You are gonna have to go into the SC to get those done.

There are other threads about various attempts to import US Tesla cars to Canada with no success story, so yours is certainly encouraging. The issue has always been with Tesla not playing ball with the "modifications" necessary, not the import/export part. Anyways, glad that it's working out...

Have you figured out the import stuff? I don't think we've heard of any success stories here yet. S3X are finally on the MTO's admissible list, but last time I checked Tesla hasn't rolled out the service program for US imports yet. I ended up having to sell mine cause I couldn't import it, but...

I feel the same. The S is my favorite to drive among the tesla cars

My list would look like this: Chevy Bolt, Nissan Leaf, Hyundai Ioniq, Kona/Niro, Ford Focus Electric, VW eGolf. You'd have to rely on third-party charging networks since charging at home isn't an option. Level 3 charging would be the alternative to supercharging.

CPO with low mileage and accident or high mileage no accident? I had a similar question when I was buying mine. Check the poll results, not sure if it's helpful or not though. I ended up with the higher mileage one with no accident history, mostly to avoid surprises when I have to sell in the...

VIN 039317 was sold at $60400 today. 2017, FSD, AP2. Priced at $69300 yesterday. This is crazy...

It's probably not every car, but quite a few have dropped in price. A 2017 FSD HW2.5 dropped $9k today and was sold at $71k. I really should have waited the extra couple of months, lol... Didn't even get to drive the car at all since I picked up mine

It's crazy... a used MX was sold at $55900 today...

They started selling rim packages apparently, so I'm sure they just took the 19s off and put on 18s and sold if for less? Their financing rates are higher than Tesla, so that's something to consider as well.

It's a pretty popular place for used Tesla cars. The guys there are ex-Tesla employees, so they are pretty specialized in them. I would still buy it from Tesla direct if you can though.

Here are the wheels for Model 3. What do you guys think? The Apollo one doesn't look too bad.

I would say the combination of a 3/Y and S/X would be ideal. I don't have a Y, but after owning the other three models, I feel like this combo would give you all the options out there. LR 3 or Y would have the new tech and range, S/X for the comfort and space.

Bumping up an old thread, but the same sale going on again on Costco.ca

Yes, basically sign up for the online banking.

There is. Just register on Scotiabank's website.

@SilverGS was there a reason you didn't get the financing through Tesla? My rate was a lot lower (3.45% for 72 months) than anything the banks would offer me directly.

Isn't AP included in the new X? Or are you talking about a used X?

I'm from there, but moved to Toronto for a new job (and to escape from T****). It seems like it'll be a good idea for me to keep my Cali license as long as possible, haha...
