Model 3 Canada

[Eco Capitalist]

Latest update is that M3 production won't ramp up until late Q1-2018. So I wonder if we will see any Canadian deliveries in 2018?

I very much doubt it. Unless I hear that they got the Model 3 certified for Canada before summer 2018, my expectation is spring of 2019 for first Canadian deliveries. Another thread had mentioned that the certification process can take 6 months or more for an entirely new vehicle design.

The M3 is now on sale but not yet in Canada. Be on the lookout! If you see one on our roads, be sure to click a photo!

Pics or it didn't happen!
A month ago my brother in Montreal said he saw one and my neighbour said he saw one here in Calgary. I think it will be like the Sasquatch for the first little while..

Will be interesting. My delivery date shows late 2018. Guess that means 2022 in tesla time.

I know it's really hard advice to take, but don't rush it. Let them work out the early adopter glitches for you.

If a model s or x refresh comes soon i could be tempted....

You're more likely to see the Model Y before then. Perhaps, the roadster replacement.

How about a Sasquatch driving a Model 3? Now that would be something!

Trevor of M3OC has been hinting about an S and X interior refresh coming up. Hinting within the next 6 months. His source has been reliable so far.

Yes see a model Y, but I mean if i can buy a refreshed model s or x before I can buy my model 3 then I might be tempted away. No way you can buy either of the 2 you suggested before a refreshed model s/x or model 3.

Is the M3 shipping to anyone other than Tesla employees yet?

 

[MarcoRP]

I don't know. Doug Demuro got one from a viewer of his. I doubt it would be a Tesla employee

 

[Vawlkus]

So far I believe it is still just Tesla employees & their relatives.

Why wouldn’t a Tesla employee watch Doug?

 

[wayner]

As Bubbles said, "It's Samsquanch Ricky.."

 

[3Victoria]

Well we do haveTesla employees in Canada ....

 

[RiverBrick]

Well we do haveTeska employees in Canada ....

Yes, but it has taken at least six months for prior Tesla Models to get approved for sale by the Transport Ministry.

This click-baity thread should be deleted imho until there is a sighting.

 

[Doug_G]

We rarely delete threads.

I've changed the thread title to indicate there aren't any actual sightings.

 

[MarcoRP]

Or you can merge this thread to Model 3 Canada until further ado

 

[Doug_G]

Good plan.

 

[sitter_k]

Good plan.

I was so confused, i made a click bait title? Delete my thread? Oh it's some other thread that got merged...
