Model 3 Canada

[jkirkwood001]

Just ordered!

Couldn't resist, eh? I see it's still not on the list, but you must be pretty confident.

Congrats, Tony!

Yeahhh! Me too, invite received today, 104th in line at Montreal. Non owner.

Unfortunatly the wait continue...for an SR AWD.

That's the config I'd like as well, @DavidP . I will forego the SR if it's not imminent, but I need AWD for climbing our hill in the winter. C'moooon "Late 2018"!

 

[Blu Angel]

Fellas...now calm down....its been almost 2 years since we reserved.....so I decided...TO ORDER!!!!!

I'm getting the Blue as well and skipping the AWD. It'll be fine as long as you get winter tires. Are you getting Auto pilot or not? I'm struggling because the car hits an astronomical $85,000 now... before tax rebate.

Yes, with the recent news on electrek about the new enhanced AP rolling out real soon, I said YES

I was dead set on AWD from the start. But now with a 4-8 week turnaround and the uncertainty of the rebate being here after June, I researched a LOT about RWD Tesla's in snow. Learning what I did, I decided that a RWD Model 3 is more than adequate for our climate. So I decided to pull the trigger now, rather than risk the rebate disappearing. I'll use that money saved for snow tires and a new set of summer rims.

Food for thought.

Tony, my EXACT sentiment!
I'm getting some wicked aftermarket wheels for the summer time
and keeping the Aero wheels with some fast winter tires!

BOY, do I feel relief.....Finally joining the Tesla family and doing my part for this beautiful world we live in!

Big difference between the two of you might be that you @Tony_YYZ store outside, and @Neo_fd3s, do you store in a heated garage? (which re-melts the salty snow into the steel of your car every night).

I wish I had it going into the garage. But those spots are reserved for nicer vehicles that never see winter.
Regardless, the garage isn’t heated either.

Ordered. Actually my wife pushed the button.

I always store my cars in my garage. My etobicoke garage was semi insulated while my Brampton and Caledon garages were/are fully insulated.

Congrats, Tony!

Got confirmation from Tesla that if the rebate falls through, I can cancel and get my deposit back.

S owner, reserved two 3s online at reveal, still no email, but today when I login I am able to configure both.

Not enough dumb SOB's willing to buy this overpriced ipad, with no written guarantee that they will get the rebate, and unable to order the options they really want. Let's admit it must of us would prefer AWD even at another $6k, and by the sounds of it white seats. But like kids in a candy store when they don't have what we really want we'll desperately grab the next thing we see. Did I say we? D'oh, what was I drinking last night? It was just a Peroni, I swear.

The good news is that in the order terms & condition it said that for $500 we can switch our order. Hope that stands. BTW, also ordered in store at Yorkdale, non-owner.

 

[Scifi_tv_fan]

Received an email last night around 10:15pm-ish that I can configure and I'm a non-owner.

Congrats! It has been a long wait for sure. Almost at the finish line.

I'm thinking of pursuing some Turbine style rims as my summer rims doe next year. Paired with the OEM takeoff 18" tires once I replace them with winter tires for winter later this year.

I was deciding on whether or not to get the 19inch wheels but with the blue, i really love the sport wheels on the car. But now i'll need winter tires. LOL. which aftermarket for the summer are you thinking?

OK, you both shot that theory out of the water!

 

[Pescakl1]

Non owner from Montreal. Was in line just before 9 am and waited 3 hours (in the cold rain) to put my deposit just before noon.

Received an email at 20h53 yesterday night that I could configure.

I hold my place waiting for AWD.

Congrats to all that ordered their cars!

 

[realtycoon]

What happens if I select "Hold My Place" for AWD, now that I have an invite to configure? If I change my mind and decide to go with RWD am I still able to? Or should I just not click the button?

You can definitely change your mind and go back in and configure!

 

[RAM_Eh]

Configuration is open for me now. Non owner, pre-reveal online reservation!

So excited.. can't decide whether to wait for AWD and risk the incentive.

The bigger battery pays for itself with the incentive....

 

[RAM_Eh]

Yahoo!!!!

I also got my invitation!!
Non-owner and registered at Yorkdale at 12:30 pm

I my be ready to order the RWD and get Tesla 3 Blue in 4-8 wks.
Gonna stew on it for a few days wether or not I should go for it now!!

Everyone says the RWD with good snows works just fine.

I have had a RWD Tesla through 5 winters and driven through everything imaginable except for golf ball size hail. Those that tell you AWD is a must should just slow down. I have ordered the model 3 and really look forward to it. I have a 2013 MS for sale with 166,000 KM on it.

what's your price? send me the details please

I've always believed that the less unsprung weight you have, the better the handling.
Having said that, Im a big fan of TSW wheels, specifically their rotary forged wheel series.
These wheels are manufactured by a process whereby excess weight is removed from them....
thus you get both strength and lightness.

My choices are one of 3 wheels:
1. Bathurst (10 spoke wheel) 19" in silver finish with mirror cut face
2. Chrono (10 spoke wheel) 19" in silver finish with mirror cut face
3. Interlagos (9 spoke wheel) 19" in silver finish with minor cut face

Thanks for the vote of confidence!
It's always best to hear from an existing Tesla owner who has actually experienced our Canadian winters with RWD and snows
I concluded that the EAP (Enhanced Auto Pilot) was much more important than the AWD
