Calculating the Model 3 Canadian prices?

[Canuck]

I don't know how a Model 3 LR+AWD base without any option could MSRP more than 75K Ca$. It is clearly stated on the program guide today that options are not included in MSRP.

You said a couple of weeks ago that there was no limit to the price of a vehicle to qualify for the Ontario EV rebate, and I corrected you showing you that it was, in fact, limited to $150k. I also went further to predict that sum would likely be cut in half by the time the Model 3 comes to Canada. That happened today.

As to your comments about options not being included in the MSRP, while that is correct, trim level is clearly included:

How do new vehicle models become eligible for incentives?
For each model, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) must fill out the Vehicle Eligibility Submission Form for each model year and each trim level.

The base level LR AWD will qualify but $75kUS is only $58kCan and it may be that there are trim levels that exceed that amount, such as the P trim level. So even though you don't know how a Model 3 LR+AWD could MSRP more than $75kCan, since options are not counted, I do know that the P trim level will not qualify since things like P will likely not be considered an option but a trim level.

Let's bet 14000CA$ on this...

You like to say things like "let's bet" when you lose an argument because it means nothing. But I guess that's about all you have left to say since of course P is a trim level and MSRP of a P trim level 3 will exceed $75kCan. So I am taking your meaningless bet even though I know you will never pay up when you lose.

Oh you meant a real model 3 will be over $75k? I thought we were talking about the HotWheels, and that being +$75k.
