Model 3 Performance (Canada) Waiting Room

[Destiny1701]

Yeah adds little value in selling this for newer one

It’s been flawless for me as well.
I’ve done my upgrades: full body ppf, oem spoiler, painted black calipers, 20% tint all around, carbon fibre int dash/doors, 20” gunmetal V1 perf rims/tires, gun metal decals

I only feel like I want MORE. Lol. I’ve gotten used to this car now even though I smile every time I drive it

Damn, there's talk of Canada putting crazy tarriffs on Chinese EVs now too, they better not screw me for my m3p.

 

[Vithu]

I suspect the tarrifs will be placed before the deliveries take place...

 

[Dear_OP]

Has there been a history of immediate tariff with little lead time on products?

 

[bolduser31]

This will happen in a few months, September/October at the earliest if enacted. Government is on recess until the fall.

Hopefully Elon delivers our cars before then.

Hmmm…if this occurs I wonder if Tesla will just switch us to US cars? Now wouldn’t that be something!

That would be an early Christmas gift for sure.

Canadian VIN’s have not started yet. Of course deliveries haven’t started yet either.

So watching the progress over the 530 USA waiting room pages of changing EDD’s, strategy plays, cancel and re-orders, I’m not sure which would have been better.
Knowing what Canadians will be in for fairly soon, or an ignorance is bliss viewpoint, and never having seen this thread…

Not sure if this is relevant to the current supply chain issues…but in the last few weeks there has been a significant cost increase to containers coming to Canada from China (roughly 2.5 times the usual amount of money)…probably driven by increased demand for imports into North America…at least from certain Chinese ports. Could be that Tesla is holding off for cheaper cross-ocean freight?
I’m probably grasping at straws since nothing about the extended wait times makes sense since Tesla’s production numbers are in the toilet YOY.

I'm assuming RWD/LR versions of the model 3 (and model Y?) are also produced in the Shanghai factory.

If so, I have seen several Highland refresh model 3s in Vancouver, so shipments are being made already.

Not sure why the logistics would be different for the performance version.

 

[Vithu]

Looks like we'll be getting the U.S model

Hopefully not, build quality is atrocious. Though the Panasonic battery would be nice! It’s also a consulting period, no action at this time.

Again, as mentioned before, would be inplemented after the summer, if anything.

Hmm that could also mean prices of Tesla cars could potentially go up if the Tariffs are applied to China made vehicles
