    3 Reasons Not to get the White Interior

    I love my white interior too! It looks so clean and snazzy. I’ve gotten many admiring comments. I’ve had no problems with glare or reflections. I’m sure it’s there, but not noticeable or bothersome to me. I had the front windows tinted, which some folks reported would worsen the glare, but...

    Tesla Roadside Assistance Does Not Have Loaner Wheels For The Y

    Lol - good idea! ;)

    Tesla Roadside Assistance Does Not Have Loaner Wheels For The Y

    Good point, thanks for the advice. My husband plugged one (or maybe two) of his tires a few years ago and they’ve held fine, but I agree that the lazy way is probably not the best way. I had a blow out once on the highway two cars ago and it definitely sucked.

    Tesla Roadside Assistance Does Not Have Loaner Wheels For The Y

    I just found a screw in one of my tires (20” inductions) yesterday and plugged it using a basic kit, which seemed to fix it. I drove to work today (90 km return) and didn’t have any problems and no apparent issues with the balancing. Hopefully I am not in for some kind of future disaster, but...

    Model Y for Canada!

    I have a pearl white MY and already picked up a few paint chips on the front bumper and hood after only two weeks of commuting to work (mostly on highway). I just dropped it off today at a place in Vaughan for front end and rear door PPF, ceramic, and front window tinting. They aren’t sure...

    Model Y for Canada!

    I got my service done in Toronto last Wednesday, and I was given a drop off time and instructions on exactly where to park the vehicle. I was directed to get out and leave it with the key card on the dash and the windows open. Immediately after I arrived with the car, I was sent Uber credits...

    Model Y for Canada!

    My Y came with front and back plates already installed. I think some folks like to install the front one themselves because they don’t want holes put in the front bumper maybe?

    Model Y for Canada!

    I was there with my husband on Saturday picking up a white Y from around 11:45-1 pm. We noticed someone with a checklist picking up another white Y a few cars down, so maybe it was us you saw if you were there around that time. We were also really happy with everything overall. The only minor...

    Model Y for Canada!

    Thanks! I can’t wait to drive it in 4-5 hours! Husband is almost as excited as I am. An MY union would be awesome! We could do a big convoy on the highway, like the motorcyclists but way stealthier! Lone people in ICEs will suddenly look around and realize they are surrounded by a big pack...

    Awesome! How was the delivery process at Lawrence? I have a feeling they are going to be very busy tomorrow. Enjoy your car too!!

    Model Y for Canada!

    That’s really frustrating that there has been such poor communication from your SA. My husband and I went over to Tesla Lawrence last night after my SA told me my car arrived earlier than expected. We did a preliminary inspection so we would have a sense of any major issues before picking up...

    Model Y for Canada!

    Haha - I actually looked specifically at that because I am waiting for a white with inductions! They all looked like they had Gemini wheels, but I’m not sure if they could have some kind of a protective cover over the inductions/ubers that might be misleading from far away...

    Model Y for Canada!

    Lol, great idea!! But I wonder if there would be a way to create some kind of visual recognition algorithm for trailers hauling Tesla’s because otherwise that would be some tedious work to look through all the footage, haha.

    Model Y for Canada!

    As an aside, we live in a condo that overlooks the 401 and we saw a big trailer loaded with Ys drive by about an hour ago headed east on the highway - three whites, two blues, and a red. I guess they could be headed anywhere east of us - Ottawa, Quebec, Atlantic Canada... who knows!!

    Model Y for Canada!

    Yeah, I don’t have an MVPA on my account, just an order agreement that doesn’t even have the correct amounts since the price change. My SA sent me a “pro-forma” MVPA by email so I would know my final amount owing, but there were no instructions for wire transfer and he gave me written...

    Model Y for Canada!

    Thanks for the reply! From what I can tell, ACH is a form of direct electronic payment that works like an e-cheque, but is perhaps only available to folks in the US. I am picking up Toronto anyways, so I will probably just go with the bank draft, but I was kind of hoping for something more...
  17. E

    Model Y for Canada!

    Anyone who has already received their vehicle, were you given an option to pay the down payment or final payment online via ACH, or only by bank draft/certified cheque at the time of pick up?

    Model Y for Canada!

    Great news! So I guess yours must have been on an earlier shipment than the ones held up in Chicago earlier this week. Hope the delivery goes well!
  19. E

    Model Y for Canada!

    I also reached out by email today to my advisor to ask about final payment options and verify that we were still on track for delivery on Saturday. I doubt I would have heard about the delay otherwise. You should probably reach out to Tesla to make sure your Thursday is not unnecessarily wasted.

    Model Y for Canada!

    I am thinking the same thing! Let’s hope it makes it across the border for Friday!

    Model Y for Canada!

    I am scheduled to pick up this Saturday at the Toronto (Lawrence) dealership. My advisor told me today that my car was also still in Chicago and now scheduled to arrive on Friday (original estimate was July 20-23). He said he would let me know for sure on Thursday whether delivery on Saturday...

    Model Y for Canada!

    I have ~$1700/yr with the Personal, which is around ~$200/yr cheaper than with my current trade-in car (Mazda CX-3). When I expressed surprise at that, the agent told me it was probably lower because of a lack of data for the car and because few people drive Teslas in general. Whatever, I’ll...

    Model Y for Canada!

    I know, right? The only thing I could think of was maybe not being able to get the cheaper price for FSD - like maybe if someone had FSD and decided to remove it and take the cheaper price for the car, but then changed their mind and wanted to revert back to their previous config and get the...

    Model Y for Canada!

    Awesome, thanks - maybe I will give them a call now that I have a delivery date, but I’m thinking I won’t bring it in until the end of August when I have some vacation and can be without a car for a bit. WRT the price drop, I called my local dealership and was told I needed to go through my SA...
  25. E

    Model Y for Canada!

    Thanks sckor, good catch! The price of my config dropped by a little over $1000. I just sent an email to my sales advisor to inquire whether they will be offering the new price since I haven’t paid or picked up yet. If they say no, I suppose I could still technically cancel and reorder at...

    Were you happy with the quality of the PPF/ceramic? How long did it take to get done?

    At the Lawrence location in Toronto - white/white AWD w 20”

    Model Y for Canada!

    So I got an email today from my advisor letting me know that my car would be available the week of July 20, with VIN of 277xx. I set a delivery appointment for July 25. Interestingly, my delivery appointment shows up on my order page, but my VIN is not in the source code and there is no MVPA...

    Model Y for Canada!

    Haha, same here! I’ve started searching “VIN”:null instead since that is what I am pessimistically expecting to see. My trade-in quote expires tomorrow too and I’m not looking forward to having to submit all the pictures again. Hopefully I can just update the odometer reading instead.
  30. E

    Model Y for Canada!

    I definitely want to get PPF and probably ceramic done - but I don’t know if I can commit 100% to a particular shop right now since I am still looking around - and turn around time will also affect my decision since I can’t be without a car for too long (I have a long commute that will be a huge...
  31. E

    Model Y for Canada!

    I’d be interested in that - are you able to share which shop? How important is it to get PPF on the whole car vs just the front end? I’ve only ever had inexpensive cars in the past so this is my first time looking into any kind of paint protection. I do have about a million rock chips on the...
  32. E

    Model Y for Canada!

    Glad your car was in good condition and no mismatch with the white paint! Thanks for the info about the shop in Oakville - so the cost for both ceramic and PPF on the whole car is $4000? That seems like a good price - I live in the North York area so I was looking at shops around here and it...

    Model Y for Canada!

    I was wondering the same thing - nothing for me yet either. My config is white/white LR AWD. I’m trying to stay positive by telling myself that quality control might improve after the quarter-end rush is over? ;)
  34. E

    Model Y for Canada!

    Yikes, that does look a little off, doesn’t it? I guess all us folks with white will really have to take a close look when picking up... Thanks for sharing!!
  35. E

    Model Y for Canada!

    Yeah, it was so sunny yesterday, the pics are definitely a bit overexposed. For what it’s worth though, I think that what appears to be a different coloured door is just a shadow from the neighbouring car - we looked particularly at the white Y because that is the colour I am getting as well and...
  36. E

    Model Y for Canada!

    I might be interested depending on cost - but I don’t have a VIN or delivery date yet so probably would not be bringing it in until July or August. For those picking up at the Lawrence location in Toronto, my husband and I stopped by yesterday and they had four Ys in the back “off limits” area...
  37. E

    Model Y for Canada!

    I am picking up at the Lawrence location - they did their first delivery yesterday. I was told not to to expect delivery until July or even August, possibly because of my configuration (white on white, LR AWD). My husband and I are thinking of swinging by tomorrow to see if there are any...

    Model Y for Canada!

    Wow, that’s great! Congrats! Nice to see some white VINs trickling in in Ontario, finally!

    Model Y for Canada!

    I got in touch with the last person I spoke with in April when they sent out the feeler calls. He confirmed that any trade-in offers older than 30 days will indeed have to be reassessed before delivery. He also told me that I should expect delivery sometime in July-August, so a bit later than...
  40. E

    Model Y for Canada!

    I got my trade in offer just a few minutes ago and it was only slightly lower than kbb, which was a pleasant surprise, so I accepted. Happy to be one step closer, although it would be great to get a ballpark date to expect delivery! Oh yes, and there was a note attached to the trade in...
  41. E

    Model Y for Canada!

    Just checked their Canadian website and it looks like trade in quotes are good for 30 days or 1600 km, whichever comes first - so I should probably be okay as long as it comes by the end of the month.
  42. E

    Model Y for Canada!

    Haha - nope, no road trips in store, but my normal commute is 45 km each way, so it’s easy to rack up the mileage! Hopefully they will contact me directly with the trade in offer so I get a chance to ask them.
  43. E

    Model Y for Canada!

    Same here! It seems like it’s possible to expedite the process by calling Tesla, which I guess I will do if I haven’t heard back by the end of the week. Anyone who has gotten a trade in quote already, were you given any direction regarding the maximum additional mileage you could put on the...
  44. E

    Model Y for Canada!

    Yeah, I have the same concern and I will probably do the same. I would almost rather give it away to family rather than take a massive loss on the car. Even before the pandemic, when I was talking to Tesla reps at the dealerships, they told me that Tesla’s trade in offers tend to be very low...
  45. E

    Model Y for Canada!

    Thanks guys for posting all the updates! I had started giving up on refreshing my Tesla account, so I probably wouldn’t have checked for at least a few days if not for this thread! I will be interested to see what they offer for my trade in vehicle, since it looks like folks in the US have...
  46. E

    Model Y for Canada!

    Yes, me too! I wonder if they are thinking about relocating some of their existing inventory from the US that they weren’t able to deliver due to cancelled or delayed orders related to the pandemic? Or, maybe they are planning ahead in case they are able to make another batch of vehicles if...

    Model Y for Canada!

    I am in Toronto and just received a call yesterday verifying that I would be able to take delivery as early as June or July, if a car with my specs were available at that time. My config is white/white LR AWD with 20” induction wheels, no FSD. My order was placed the first week of March...
