Model 3 Canada - Confirmed Orders Only thread

[Mobsidian]

Direct from Xpel, you have to call Canadian orders in though.

Oh ok thanks. How much is it for the front end stuff you listed?

I'm assuming your down payment was quite large to maintain $600 a month?

I put 14,000 plus deposits down and ended up with approximately 1196 a month. Was going to do cash using a HELOC but since this is fixed and can be paid down anytime, might as well save on the interest

My offers were as follows:

Ya.. ive been saving up for 3 years. Plus i floated myself the rebate. I just wanted my payments at or beliw $600

Mine too... i asked for under $500 per month for cash flow reasons so i'm putting up almost half of the price of the car up front.

How many months? Im doing 72 months

Same here. I plan on using the rebate and funds from sale of current car to knock out that 72 month loan in half the time.

How many months term did you do?

For me I figured it was an open loan, and I went with $0 down + deposit to make it simpler on the car delivery day, later on I'll pay more to get it down to the cash flow I want. I chose 72 month term and it was $1237. I'll put in the $14,000 rebate when I get it, and probably get the financing finished faster as 3.99% isn't exactly cheap for a car loan.

Although. the difference between 3.99% for 72 months and 3.91% for 60 months wasn't large enough to opt for the larger term.

Did you ask if adding more $ would lower the monthly payments, or just shorten the term?

I'm pretty sure it just shortens the term.

 

[AAAA]

I'm pretty sure it just shortens the term.

I used RBC for my Model S , had like a 7 year term , I paid it off in 2-3 years maybe and it never reduced the monthly payments , just the term. Thats why I actually went 90 months or whatever this time and will have a smaller monthly(530/month) but pay it down in the next couple years.

Haven't asked yet. Shortening the term would work out for me too though.

I went longer.. 96. I'm aiming to pay it off in 3-4 years though. I just did it for flexibility in cash flow.

 

[McFlurri]

Do we have info on charging rates with respect to amperage for Model 3?

 

[vidya_sagar]

After I got my HPWC, my electrician now telling I can only get 20amps outlet cos I am having 100amps panel

Ugh -- not great, but also, not necessarily surprising.

Have a look here How many amps are you going with for your Model 3 home charging circuit? as you might find some of the info useful, and using a load calculator, you should be able to double check the electricians recommendation (although I suspect they are correct).

I just had a 40 amp line put in for a 32 amp charger and I only have 100 amp service. Only had it a couple weeks now so have to see if a/c and dryer and over trip the house breaker but so far so good charging Pacifica. Get my 3 on Saturday so not optimal charging speed but good enough.

Up to 48amps. So you need at 60 amp circuit.

The charger i went with only goes to 32amps. So i needed to install a 40amp breaker.

I also upgraded my panel from a 100 to a 125amp main breaker
