Model X in Canada - Status

Tesla Prices Model X In Canada From $119,000 - Currency Woes Abound, Help Coming

Not sure if the "help is coming" is based on any sort of information or not, but I would certainly like to voice my opinion on the irrational increase that we have seen in pricing. Anyone have good contacts to send my observations to?

Have to think that Tesla is in a tough spot on this. I am sure that some Tesla X order holders are converting and purchasing the vehicle. If they turn around and lower prices then those people get screwed unless Tesla rebates them. My guess is that Tesla will watch the numbers closely and determine the best course of action in a few weeks.

Plus, to me, that 2016 model looks no different than this 7 year old one.

May be this

I've been told that Signature price is going up on Wednesday by over $30k in Canada due to currency difference. Time to confirm...

 

[Macgaver]

The Wednesday timing .... maybe VINs and ETA are coming this week ? Any hint on that from your contacts ?

 

[vandacca]

Nobody knows anything. I was given a June-July timeframe for delivery, but judging by all the previous missed DS predictions, I'm not holding my breath. Eventually somewhere, someplace a DS will make a prediction that will come true. Will this be that place and time? I don't know.

 

[Macgaver]

June-July is hopefully a very worst case scenario. They started delivering the 90D in the US, and are pushing 70D to convert to 90D to get their car in April/May compared to June .... which sound like they are almost done delivering the US Performance models.

Still hoping for end of April for the Canadian Sigs ... but I have no real information source.

If happening end of April, Elon can have the Quarterly Q1 call happening beginning of May and inform everyone that "As previously Announced", International Deliveries are happening in Q2 ... and we already had some deliveries ... and since Signatures are first ...

DS indicated last week delivery for end of May- mid June for CND Sig #30 but I'm sure it's a guess also

 

[vandacca]

I've heard anywhere between late April (4-5 weeks) to June/July. Once I hit that configure button, I'm not thinking about it until I get an Email/call. I'd prefer to post-pone it as long as possible so that I can try to save up for the added cost of currency exchange.

 

[Macgaver]

Another batch of VINs assigned to US reservations last night ... Nothing from my Canadian side ;-(

We are starting Q2, which is supposed to be where International deliveries happen, I was hoping Signature VINs this week.

Any Canadian VINs ?

 

[vandacca]

Also, no VIN, but I was probably the last Signature to confirm (1 week ago). I'm not expecting a VIN until mid to late May. With still some minor issues with the recent deliveries, I'm okay to wait a little longer. I'm about 90km from the Service Centre, so I'm hoping to limit this trip to once a year.

I agree with vandacca, Canadian approval for Model X sales in each province is anticipated to be completed this month. SigXs should get their VINs soon after. Once the number is assigned delivery usually takes 6 to 8 weeks. I now expect my vehicle no later that the final week of June.

 

[brianvicars]

News Flash. Canadian Model X production scheduled to begin May 23rd.

 

[brianvicars]

Update. DS says our vehicle begins production May 16th. Will post VIN asap.

 

[Macgaver]

Totally make sense for Signature. That week is the very last one where we could get our cars by June. Two weeks to build, 2-3 weeks in transport.

I mean, having them in July, which is the month where anyone ordering today would get, would be strange. Reserving years in advance, with that 40K$ reservation amount have to save us at least a month right !

 

[Martin VanB]

Here is the email I received. I am so excited.

It is my absolute pleasure to let you know that production dates were assigned to Canadian signature Model X’s this morning!


Your Beautiful Model X is expected to go into production during the week of May 16th 2016 and arriving here in mid-June.


It would be great to speak with you and go over some details. Please let me know when you are available.


Thank you!

 

[Macgaver]

Very precise email ! I hope to get one like that too!!

Is it a reply to you asking or really a DS initiative I could expect ?

 

[Martin VanB]

It was a surprise email from my DS.

2-3 weeks to Montreal. 1-3 days to Vancouver....!?.

Got a VIN! xxx2656

Congrats to my neighbors to the North. Sounds like we'll likely be getting our X's about the same time. Sorry you folks had to wait so long! Mine was by choice. Hopefully you'll get cars with much fewer build issues though!
