@Tesjass I'm not too sure, but to my eyes, this probably shouldn't be a major issue in choosing the SR over the LR AWD. Basically it adds 11 months @ 13.99+tax so about $154+tax to your purchase price to end up with that same 1 year of premium connectivity, while still saving many thousands of dollars on the SR between purchase price and luxury tax differences, and more still if rebates end up applying.
Tesla just changed the price of the MY for the US, they lowered it by 2000 USD, hope this makes it to Canada. Will it make the car eligible for the 5K federal incentive?
Just this price decrease would not make the car eligible for $5k federal incentive in Canada. To be eligible, the SR must be available for less than $45k and then all other trims of that model would also be available as long as they're less than $55k. By the way, the SR is already below $55k (before prep and delivery) and the reason why it's not eligible to the 5k incentive is because there is no trim of the same model below $45k. For the 7 seaters, the rules are similar but with different amounts. The 7 seaters needs to be available for less than $55k to be eligible. That being said, if the price of the 7 seaters drops by around $4k it would be eligible to the federal incentive. But IF they do so, they may reduce the 5 seaters price as well (which will still not be available for incentive unless they make another version for $45k).
Tesla exec 2 days later: Stock price has fallen down 15% in 2 days ... put the MY SR back on the website ASAP to please customers and raise the price to please shareholders.
Took delivery of my Model Y at tesla Kitchner, ON yesterday with new central console, heated steering wheel. This car build on February 7th, 2021 at Fremont California.
I'm saving up to buy a LR Y w/7 seats, but can't figure out from the website the final price. With the options I want I get $76,590.00, but what taxes are on that in Ontario? 13% vehicle transfer tax, but what luxury tax is there? What other fees and taxes that aren't mentioned on the website?
Ontario doesn't have a luxury tax. Adding 13% sales tax (don't know what a vehicle transfer tax as you said) will give you a close number. They include the OMVIC and licensing in the website price. If you finance there will be a $120ish charge.
Thanks for the response. Ah, right. In Ontario there's a 13% vehicle transfer tax for used privately sold cars. For new cars it's a 13% HST. Okay, if that's all I really need to add on, I might be able to afford it sooner rather than later.
