I think with the rate now at close to $1.24 CAD = 1 USD we are in for a price adjustment in Canada.
Have seen it many times in the past with other imported cars as the dollar moved around.
If Tesla doesn't adjust American buyers will get smart and start ordering their Tesla's from Canadian dealers.

American Model S can't be imported to Canada BUT used Canadian Model S can be imported to US.

This has been oft claimed in these forums, however there is a post with a statement from Tesla that it is not advised to import from Canada and that Tesla recommends against it.
Can anyone prove this is a valid option?

I understand that John Dixon sold his Model S to a happy buyer in Utah with remaining warranty transferred.

Yep, we know that this is a fact ...from a club member selling his Sig Model S to a guy from the Southern States...
@Jaff - What about Roadsters? Could I buy a Roadster in the US and bring it to Canada assuming that the usual conversions are done like DRLs, French airbag stickers, etc? My understanding is that there aren't a lot of Roadsters in Canada so there aren't many options if you want to buy one. I checked Autotrader a few days ago and there was only one for sale in Canada - in BC.

Roadster can now go both ways across the borders...it wasn't until a guy from Quebec brought a green Roadster in around Christmas of 2013, that we knew you could bring the Roadster in...IIRC, he had to pay around $3,000 to Tesla to "Canadianize it".
Have you check with Lawrence St....they seem to get one or two Roadster's a year in with pretty low kilometerage...the few times I'm down there, these look to be well cared for units...

Ahh, I stand corrected then...if you haven't already done so, it might be a good idea to contact Martin to let him know that you are looking for one...als, keep checking the "Teslas for sale" here on this site as some do come up for sale now and then...

Well that proves my theory was wrong unless they also went up on the US Design Studio sight. Did they also increase the other builds?

US pricing unchanged, so definitely because of the falling loonie.

You are right. My order total is 117k. Exact same configuration is now 123k. But keep in mind that I ordered mine when the D option was cheaper (1k increase in the first month)
