Model Y for Canada!
- Thread starter warloc
- Start date
So delivery summary - overall not too bad.. I took delivery of a new performance black on black...
I did a pretty thorough inspection and logged about 16 issues.. I’m pretty sure they can be corrected.. mainly
- scratches on the paint
- some minor alignment with the frunk, rear door and rear tail light
- scrapes on the bumper
There was this weird discolouration on the hood.. this is the one I’m most concerned about - pics below
So not perfect - but I’m pretty sure the issues can be fixed.
The drive home was awesome - that thing is so fast

Congrats, bet it's amazing. Yeah I'd be concerned on that discolouration but I'm sure it's fixable - maybe just something with the topcoat. Scratches are definitely that - someone has been careless polishing.
Was the process totally remote with your DA or was someone onsite? How did you submit your issues?
I'll be interested to hear how they solve the trim alignment issue. Hopefully my pickup is in the next few weeks and I'd want to know they can fix stuff like that.
My delivery specialist was based in Toronto.. When I arrived at the service center I just called him and he unlocked the car.
Then I checked the car out and sent him emails (one for each issue) with the last 5 vin digits in the subject and then a description and two photos (one closeup and one to show location). When that was done I called him again and he took me through a few setup things and that was it. Ownership and keys were in the car - so I just drove off.
Good info, thanks. Did you have a downpayment? I was planning to hand over a bankers draft but if it's all remote...?
I was told I had to make a wire transfer because the Ottawa center couldn’t process payments... the only way to do a wire is to go to your bank - but it was pretty painless
I just ordered on July 30th in Toronto. What was the timeline for you? (Order date —> Delivery)
Going through the delivery process at Oakville right now - must say that some of the previous issues that I’ve read about seem to be fixed which is nice. That charge port and door are beautifully flush.
Got a small dent in the Driver side A-pillar that will get fixed and was probably missed as it was protective wrapped. Definitely some adhesive from the protective wrapping as they added tons more versus delivering the 3s the first time.
Some panel gap issues but honestly they’ve gotten much better now. Some trim work also but the interior is looking in great shape. Other small paint issues like nicks (probably during transport also) but nothing missing external nor inside joints. You have the DA for an hour and he’s been great at documenting, taking pics, and talking through the process. He’s taken the car back to the retailer to see if those paint issues are just dirt. Otherwise, great looking car and the boss (wife) is definitely happy (for now).

Glad to hear. That was one of my reasons for waiting until now to order one. We have a model 3 SR+ already and plan on adding the Y to our growing fleet of Tesla’s.
How long was your wait from ordering to delivery? For our M3 it was about 6 weeks.
I ordered February 24th and delivered July 31.. the turnaround seems much faster now
You played it smart. I stood in line at 3am after the Model 3 unveiling to reserve it and that took over a year of waiting when it was delivered on Jun 4, 2018.
Same story with the Y - put down my deposit on Mar 24, 2019. So a bit longer than the 3 but I assume it was the white interior that held it up. They’re getting into their groove again - anecdotally, the difference between the Model S/X to the Model 3 was 10x the volume and right now they’re seeing 10x that with the Model Y. If even somewhat true, that is pretty impressive.
Thanks! I looked at the spreadsheet tracker and others in Canada are getting it within 30 days. Sorry you had to wait so long, but at least you're one of the first!
Ha, I was about to put down for the Y on autonomy day, but then chose to get the M3 SR+. Waited an excruciating 6 weeks for it, lol. I can't imagine waiting over a year.
Glad you enjoy your Y. I'm sure we'll start seeing more in the GTA in the coming months.
Cheers!

...exact same config!OOooo...please keep me updated if you get your car soon! I ordered Day 1 and am still waiting...
Oh God. Definitely. Day 1, like pre-ordered on day 1?
The sales rep called me this week and said end of August or 1st week of September.
Hopefully my wife gets her short shorts before then for some S3XY pics
Just bought the 7 piece set yesterday from Teslarati.I have two messy kids and want to have them before the winter.
I bought the ones for my Model 3 from the Tesla Shop. They were roughly the same price and excellent quality. I didn't want to wait until Tesla gets their Model Y mats because they sold out same day for the M3.
It was a hard pill to swallow, but for a ~$90k CAD car after FSD, taxes, red interior, white seats, I just figured why not protect my investment from my kids.
Every other Model Y mats look like they come from Canadian Tire.
