Hey! My Delivery date ended up being pushed to next Saturday. Though it’s scheduled and confirmed now. I’m still keeping my fingers crossed for some good news from your side !
SAME HERE, UPDATED EDD DEC 8 -JAN 12. Ordered exactly one year ago Nov 28 2021. HOPE CRA WOULD BE THAT SANTA DELIVERY GOOD NEWS.
Nice. Assuming Tesla will still take some time changing their mind if CRA does come back before. Cross your fingers haha
Sent a letter to CRA, they haven't answered yet. Would encourage everyone reading this thread to also send a letter to CRA!
I agree, the more pressure the better the outcome should be. I sent mine about 2 weeks ago. Also, we should probably figure out if it doesn't change for our delivery but does afterwards how a refund can be issued.
spoke to the CRA today. The agent told me that my case is still pending with no change since I last spoke to them 2 weeks ago. The file is waiting for final review before they send a reply back. Really frustrating and starting to wonder if I will hear back before I get my car.
Agree that we need to find a solution to get a refund if we do not hear back before we pick up the cars.

The issue we are having from the things I have gathered is Tesla does not know what constitutes as "written agreement". The only people that can define that is the CRA. For example, does it have to have Make, Model, Price, Est. Delivery or can it just be written on a napkin saying I will purchase a vehicle.
So Tesla is scared they will get audited and have to pay if they are wrong with the definition, which is why we are all being charged. What I am confused about is why is Tesla not requesting an interpretation like us or maybe they have already (who knows).
I do not see a tax attorney doing much because they do not know the definition either. All I see happening is if we are all right and we should not be charged. Tesla then can change it going forward to not charge anyone else and has to (if possible) take the extra step of trying to get a refund for the people they have charged, from the CRA and then providing that refund back to the customer (which I do not think they will).
Anyone feel free to chime in if I am incorrect on anything or have more details about the situation.
CRA rep called me this morning after I insisted that they escalate my case and reply to my ruling request. She told me that she had no way to escalate and that there was nothing to do but wait. She told me that my request had gotten to « senior « people at the CRA that were reviewing it but that she had no visibility into when I would get a response. It’s been sitting there for the past 2 weeks.
I would encourage everyone to call the luxury hotline and leave a message about our ongoing contention with Tesla and request that they respond to all of us Tesla people that have written them. Someone will call you back if you leave a message with your number. We seem to be a pretty large group.
The number is 1-866-330-3304.

I’m guessing someone said “They are getting a discount, so we won’t bother investigating”
When I last spoke to the rep at Tesla that was helping me to escalate this because he even said he called the Luxury Tax number and they also said we should not be charged. He said there is no advantage of Tesla charging this if they do not have too because he said people are cancelling orders which Tesla would not want. Especially with these current rates. I would assume demand has decreased a lot especially at the new price point and increased interest rates.
Seems like there is context for rebates through the minister (assuming finance) after delivery.
So we might need to find out how such a rebate request can be made if cra isn’t helpful.
Maybe a follow up with cra after delivery stating that there has been a payment in error and requesting a refund

Quoting this for visibility. Phone calls are a *lot* more annoying to deal with than letters. Let's be annoying.
So my delivery is scheduled for tomorrow and I’m not sure what I’ll do with this. I might pay the tax then pursue this as payment in error. Wondering what others have done who have taken delivery.

I was thinking the same. My delivery will be coming up in December some time. If we don't have this figured out by then, we may have to send a letter to the CRA for a ruling and try to pursue that for a refund.
Good Luck, and Please keep up posted on how things turn out with the delivery as well the claim.
