There is very little to none Canadianization in these cars, if my local SC manager is to be believed.
I suspect that aside from bilingual labelling, the changes can all be done in software.

A separate question, I’d like to get an idea of the real world range impact of coming from a LR RWD model 3 (no heat pump) with significant battery degradation from the start.
Any ball park numbers that would help with this?
Ex, no heat pump = 40% range loss in -30C
With heat pump = 20% range loss in -30C
This would help me make the decision to downgrade from my 500km rated 3 LR to this 393km rated Y SR with extra space and improved battery management tech.

Any word on where we can check if Tesla gets federal approval for funds ?
The supercharger network is so widely available.
True in many places, but not everywhere in Canada. For example, no v3 and only one Supercharger built in Quebec since 2018. Many regions not covered.
Not sure where you live in Quebec. But I driven to Tremblant and montreal many times and there are a sufficient amount of super Chargers in the major areas.
He is incorrect.There is very little to none Canadianization in these cars, if my local SC manager is to be believed.
Maybe you know something that he doesn't. I don't have a clue what modifications are done at the factory, but I have read that to import a US Model 3 to Canada, there's close to nothing that needs to be done to get up to spec, lol...He is incorrect.
That one can be done with software thankfully.Day-time running lights as well
How about only one Supercharger within 100 km of Quebec City? It was already overloaded in 2019. The only reason it's not a catastrophy now is Covid limiting travel.
No Superchargers in the Gaspesie, Beauce, Côte-Nord, Gatineau, or Abitibi régions.
Let's say you wish to visit Saguenay from Montreal (which many people do for family, leisure, or business reasons). When you enter the sole Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean Supercharger in Chicoutimi as your destination, you're going to need a very long charge in the Winter at the overloaded Lévis site to make it if you have an SR or SR+ or are towing.
This is what you get when you have lots of territory and Teslas, but only 15 Superchargers. If you live in Ontario which has 40+ Supercharger sites and don't go anywhere in Quebec far from Montreal, I agree that Supercharging isn't an issue.
The Supercharging network has been set up to go where the most travel traffic occurs. It is expanding (eg Gaspe, Val D'Or, Yellowhead).EV owners have to accept the fact of the EV life. Sometimes it means that you can’t go very far without investing hours re-fueling. EV owners really should have a second car if they do need to go around outside the city.
Nope!I thought there was some bumper changes to canadian vehicles too...
Having seen the coast to coast run in a model 3, and roadtripped as far as Halifax NS to London Ont, I strongly disagree.EV owners have to accept the fact of the EV life.
