AWDs on the way to Canada?!?

Did you misread the post? Pretty sure he placed the order July this year too b/c nobody could have configured in 2016.
I ordered June 27th and no DA, no VIN. Wondering if I missed anything. Called and was told it doesn't matter that I don't have the green check mark beside financing. They said when I get the call that will be arranged. Anyone know anything about this? Thanks, really appreciate all the hard work people on this forum are putting in.
Same. This is just luck of the draw...
We may be part of the September rush or we may get missed entirely
who knows. We're both just stuck hitting F5 repeatedly..I guess just keep calling Every so often and check. No rush I guess since no rebate for AWD.
IMO, what you see in your portal does not really matter, mine has been saying "A delivery experience specialist is reviewing your changes and will contact you prior to delivery" and this for many weeks (6+). I did the same as what you did; I called them few weeks ago for the same reason, I was afraid that the state of my account was screwed up and they said to not worry with that. Indeed, my DA called me on the 23rd of August to tell me that I would get my VIN soon.... As of today, there is no change to my portal page, it still says the same thing. Hopefully they will call me this week with my VIN. So when the guy said that it does not matter, I guess he is right.
Oops, I see now! That's great you have a DA, I ordered a few days after you and nothing yet. Hopefully it will be soon. Then again, I shouldn't be in a real rush to get the car. Probably best to wait till we see if Tesla has anything else I happening that could help compensate those who would have ordered RWD but didn't because of the program cancellation (though I doubt there will be anything for us).
Not sure if it’s a sign of impending AWD deliveries to Canada, but my trade-in and loan applications opened up last night (while I was vacationing in Seattle, FWIW.)
Still no VIN or call — it is a long weekend — but the automated web page said one business day for the loan and trade-in confirmations respectively.
Non-premium AWD OBM FSD standard Aeros. Non-owner, Mar 2017 reservation, ordered 6/27 with various design edits up to 8/17. Estimated delivery is still Sep-Nov.

The Aug 22 Ontario court decision, overturning the government decision to cut the $14K subsidy with no grace period for Tesla, is quite informative. The evidence from Tesla was that there were 600 outstanding orders for Teslas that were eligible for the rebate at the time of cancellation. (That would be Model RWD and dual motor). There were 256 cars in transit to Ontario by train and another 63 by truck. 175 people cancelled their order between July 11, when the subsidy cancellation was announced, and Aug 22 when the case was heard. So, if the evidence Tesla presented was accurate, it would be reasonable to expect that most people in Ontario with outstanding orders should be getting their cars soon.

Well, at least VINs are being assigned to Canada - I can definitely confirm because I'm one of them, which I got by email today (details in sig)!
The VIN is late - 5YJ3E1EB8JF107xxx - and I haven't seen one that high before..? So I've submitted to Bloomberg).
I'll be updating both sheets. (Work underway to improve your record update process for the AWD sheet, and add a few sought-after data items & reports).
FYI, my email comes about 6 weeks after first phone call to confirm my financial and delivery location choices, and only after a few update requests.

Just received my VIN - I created a thread. Delivery 1st week of October at IC.
VIN - 106XXX
(Sorry I should not have created that separate thread - stupid result of being too happy and not really thinking)

Correction - in Ontario, only the RWD configuration was eligible for the provincial incentive. The AWD configuration was not. See the list here for eligible vehicles:

I just got an email today telling me that my car should be arriving at the end of this week! They are now confirming details about registration, financing, etc. and asking about home delivery vs. pickup in Vancouver. I may actually consider home delivery since I'm 400km (through mountain passes) away from Vancouver.
No firm delivery date yet or VIN, but this is encouraging news!

I got my email on Friday, but no updates since. I have no idea when I'm getting my car. Surprised that they told you end of this week.
