Mid-2018 for Eastern Canada? I hope you're right but I think that's best case for Western Canada.[/QUOTE said:Pretty sure the West to East thing will only be for USA. This allows them to keep early deliveries close to the factory in case an issue arises that needs a retrofit. I also doubt it would be efficient to not batch the Canadian cars together on a line(s). I'm guessing deliveries spring 2018 across all of Canada.

I Beleive the very first one was delivered I'm Vancouver, but Toronto didn't take much longer. Like a month or so if my memory serves rightYou might be right. Was the S/X delivered to West/East at the same time in Canada?
Are you purposely avoiding stating which year to increase your odds? /sI'd guess 6 months after Tesla starts shipping in the USA.
Oh, in that case at least March. Tesla is always overoptimistic.
So checking my math presuming the estimates are correct, 500,000 Model 3 cars a year multiply that by the 2 million reservations means 4 years down the road for many who reserved late.
What a farce!
As far as production differences, between Canada and the US, the only ones i can think of are Seat belts (the Release latches have to be Red in color), Plus Speedo, and day time running lights (both are just software) Their might be some emissions testing differences but that will not matter for the Model 3. At any rate i doubt it will be anything near as many changes as a car destined for England.
I think I meant 400,000 reservations and only 100,000 Model 3 cars built each year so essentially, a 4 year wait!2 million reservations?
@Doubled - You are probably right unless they are doing testing at a cold-weather facility - GM has a cold-weather testing facility in Kapuskasing, ON and I believe they may rent it out to other automakers.
There are posts on here from some of the early owners of the Model S who showed some of the shortcomings of the vehicle in winter. Many of those were fixed but some were not, like the sensor under the front bumper that is VERY prone to collecting snow and slush given its design. But you hope that they took what they learned about winterizing vehicles from the Model S/X and applied it to the 3.
I believe there's still differences beyond what's quoted above. I think there's issues over bumpers (Canadian standards means better resiliency), as well as testing of autonomous driving and Summon (one can summon with the keyfob in the US but can't in Canada as I understand it). Don't forget there's probably electrical (CSA) standards to be tested, reviewed and certified.
CSA electrical safety standards do not apply to automobiles. Their EVSE hardware is already certified and does not need to be changed for Model 3.
Even for the charging kit that each car is equipped with, or is it that they will have the same chargers as in the Model S and X?
