Yes, you can do it yourself, if you want, but I used a broker. It is easy to import the car into Canada. The harder part is getting the USA export permit. You have to notify the port of exit 48 hours before you get the car to the border. You also have to register on the Canada side in...

If yours is a 2022 then it has the “global headlight system”, so it’s not the same problem that I had. I am in Ottawa. There are three service centers. The one in Barrhaven told me that since I didn’t buy the car from them, it’s not their problem and I should sell the car and buy a Canadian...

It took about 30 minutes. I already had the “Canadian” version of the software. This was a specific software update for cars with a specific version of the headlight system. My problem only applies to Model Y’s manufactured before mid-June of 2020. What was the date of manufacture of your...

It was done through an OTA update. I had to email a video of the car moving forward and backwards with the DTRL off while Tesla monitored the car to prove that the lights were not on. It probably would have been easier to have it towed to the service center. I could not drive it there as I...

That was the only problem, and it depends on the date your car was manufactured. Mine was before May 2020 (VIN Le’s than 6000) so not many cars will have this problem. The car came from California. As far as the Warranty goes, I still have a few months according to the app but I have not yet...

I finally found the solution. According to the Service Center that resolved the problem, Model Ys made prior to June 2020 had country-specific headlights, and after that date a global headlight system was used. My car, produced in May was not properly responding to the commands because it had...

I have the same problem with a car I have imported. Which Service Center resolved this for you? I have tried 2 in Ottawa and they tell me they don’t understand why they are not working correctly and that I should call Tesla. The 1-800 number for Tesla tell me to contact a service center.

I am new to this site and I don’t see a Canada section. Can you provide a link or more details?

I have imported a Model Y from USA to Canada. Everything went smoothly except the car has failed the RIV (Registrar of Imported Vehicles) inspection due to the ability to turn off the daytime running lights. I have seen one other poster on this website say he had the same problem, but it was...
