I'd guess it will be LR+AWD+PUP... Standard pkg will be one of the very last things available.I know who I'm voting for in June.Just don't know how long the wait will be until PUP is optional. When AWD is available you'd probably only be able to choose between LR+AWD or LR+PUP. LR will probably only be offered after.
I agree. I believe when AWD becomes available initially there will be only 2 possible configurations. LR+PUP and LR+AWD+PUP. (This would include anything made mandatory with the inclusion of AWD. eg. SAS)
Early ‘19 for any SR configs. This would only change if LR orders fall off significantly.

Hopefully Tesla applied as early as possible, the M3 has been on BC & Quebec EV rebate sites for over a week.

Yes, very much so.
Well, I for one am in the camp of no rebate, no buy. Our second car is a Volt, which is a good car, and which allows us to do most of our local driving in ev mode anyway. So trading in an 18 month old fully loaded Volt without the rebate is not going to happen.
It's a standard feature here among many cars esp SUVs while still just an option in the US. That's how much Canadians love AWD.

I updated the 'International Tesla Cost Estimator' I created to accommodate the new Performance prices - please let me know if you notice any errors or omissions.
For those still waiting for an invite, feel free to use!

the one issue i have is that you're form doesn't allow the provincial rebate to be reflected in the monthly payment. Thanks for your hard work on updating it though.

Hmm. I see what you mean, but the rebate is after the financing deal. You could simulate this by making your down-payment equal to the rebate, which is effectively what you're assuming, right?

BTW, I am in shock as a January 16th 2018 reservation holder, I got my invite this morning! They have clearly really opened up invitations, since I figured I was about 400,000th in line, and they've only delivered ~35,000 cars so far. Good news is, I can verify my cost estimator!

I also reserved at the beginning of the year and received my invite to configure last night. I believe they just opened up ALL reservation holders to configure. Not to be cynical ( and don’t get me wrong I am super excited to configure) they oroabably realized this way they can show a significant number of increased ( non refundable) orders and perhaps more importantly, a significant additional revenue source and some extra production certainty.

I agree.
Now I'm in the same boat as the rest of us Ontarians. Should I order now and cross my fingers on the rebate? Considering I don't need the LR battery, I "save" $5,000 and get free LR if I order today and the rebate comes through. More likely, I'd be out $23,000 as we'll lose the rebate and I'll have spent $9,000 on LR I don't need. Hmm, seems pretty clear, lacking infinite funds, I should defer
1) be safe and wait for SR and have price certainty but your car won't come till 2019 well into Q1 I think.I agree.

2) be a gambler order LR now, possibly get a rebate LR for SR price. With the chance you miss the rebate and can't afford the car and have to resell right away in hopes you take no financial hit. Have the car delivered in 5 months
Having received the invite last night, I ordered immediately in hopes of qualifying for the rebate. It's a risk I'm prepared to take and will likely delay for some time if it doesn't in hopes something would be released later at the federal level.
Wasn't expecting to order for a number of months so this came as a huge surprise. If the rebate works out, kudos to Tesla for doing this regardless if there were other factors at play.

I assumed that it would be okay to do that as well but in BC the rebate is applied after taxes so it wouldn't be a true indication. I ended up just creating my own spreadsheet where I can calculate all the pricing options as well as a gas vs electric comparison and insurance so I have a really true cost of ownership comparison of ICE vs EV. The only thing missing from mine is maintenance costs.
