I have yet to receive a call but
TrevP posted on the Model 3 Owners Club Forums that he has heard Canadian deliveries will start in the next couple of days... and odd that VINs haven't yet been assigned... really hoping for pre June 8!! Please!

Based on the information I have, GTA deliveries are targeted to start late April/Early May... And a delivery location has been arranged
 
So not one Canadian has been assigned a VIN yet deliveries are to start late April early May for those out east? That makes no sense. If anyone was to get a delivery by late April they would have their VIN by now.

TrevP sounds a bit wonky to me.
 
Estimating Your Delivery Date

About a month and a half before your vehicle enters production you will be assigned a vehicle identification number (VIN). This number is often required to secure 3rd party financing or set up insurance.

Your current estimated delivery time frames can be found in your Tesla Account. Because a number of factors may impact timing – including shifting production schedules, option availability, and the logistics of transporting your vehicle – it's not uncommon to observe changes to this initial time frame.

Your Delivery Experience Specialist will confirm your delivery appointment once your vehicle is ready at your nearest service center. If you have any questions, please call (888) 771-2505.

Estimating Your Delivery Date
 

I’ve read that before. It’s been in print for quite a while. I think it’s more applicable to the S and X which are to a large extent built to order. Want one now? Built to order for June delivery.
Tesla appears to still be mass producing the First Production 3’s prior to VIN assignment and then assigning VIN’s just prior to transportation or in California’s case just prior to delivery.
Wouldn’t be surprised to have a CDN production run when the line first starts up again with VIN’s assigned just prior to transport.
 
Come on, were you really expecting 4-8 weeks as per the configuration page? June is kinda too soon for me, actually.

Absolutely... with the June election coming soon, I assume Tesla (if they actually monitor it) would try to get them shipped before end of May. 12 weeks from Configuration to Delivery seems excessive.

If I chose Tesla financing as an option, then how would they process credit application within such a short time frame, if they just provide VIN before transportation?. I read somewhere that credit application/financing will be done at least one month prior to delivery
 
Scotiabank said the same to me, that the dealer handles the Financing and that they have their own underwriters ( A bank/insurance company). They did say that they can offer a LOC to finance the car.

Tesla's underwriter is RBC last time I called.

I feel somewhat envious that the US banks offer better rates...
 
Tesla said it is 4.25%. I think, if we go though Tesla, they may offer better prices.

Tesla will ask you to fill out a credit application and submit it for you. You will have time for them to arrange it once they have asked you to submit it.

Here is Tesla Canada's credit application form for reference (DON'T fill out and submit until they ask you to):
