I think that taste is from drinking the water in the North Saskatchewan River...Leaves me, a person living in the province with Canada's biggest oil shill as premier, with a bitter taste in my mouth.
If they could make this happen, it would be huge!Anybody think it's possible we see a sub $75K model S available soon?
The current design studio shows a base S60 priced at $86K (including $1300 destination fee).
Now, if the model S starts using batteries from the gigafactory that would eliminate the 6.1% NAFTA tariff.
Subtract from that the new info about possible discounts for pay per use supercharging.. lets say $2K.
Now we have: $84.7K/1.061 - $2K = $77.8K
Pretty close to $75K!
Thoughts?
I highly doubt it. Call me cynical but I see Tesla making 6.1% more profit from Canadian customers once battery production starts.Anybody think it's possible we see a sub $75K model S available soon?

Not an outright confirmation but. This was my thinking.This exact question came up (raised by me) at a recent Tesla Sunday Social and the answer was very ambiguous and noncommittal. The presentation covered how the Gigafactory's increased efficiencies and N. American production would help them keep the cost of the Model 3 down, but when I asked if the same would be true for Model S and X, the answer was very close to a "probably not".
Does anyone know if free charging for EVs was mentioned in the Throne Speech yesterday? They did announce a rebate for PST on electricity.
Interesting about koben Systems (KSI) getting half of that 20 M. I thought that was sketchy considering they're not known for being an established player in the DCFC world.Yes, the bigger price difference and the recent weakening of the dollar doesn't help the chances of Tesla offering a similar plan in Ontario. I also don't think all Teslas would become eligible, probably only 60s.
However, they could remove Superchargering from the stripped-down version (it's still included in Germany) and take an additional $2,500 off the price. Well, at least for another two months.
Cutting rebates on base Teslas while increasing them on $90,000 (after options) PHEVs with 25 km range does not help in lowering emissions.
But I suspect it was protectionism. The same reason Mississauga-based KSI, an outfit that has never installed a single DCFC station, was awarded the lion's share (144/211) of the provincial -financed CHAdeMO/CCS project over bids from established out-of-province companies.
Apparently, they have only three employees, so I hope they have hired enough competent outside contractors to complete the project. Ontario's official line is still that all installations will be complete by the original deadline of March 31, 2017, but it seems unlikely. August would be more reasonable, considering the size of the project and the red-tape (look how long it sometimes takes TM to complete Superchargers in Canada). However, I am not sure KSI can even deliver by then. So far, after six months only 3/211 sites are complete (none of which are KSI's).
Apparently the one person with feedback about him did not have anything nice to say. Mind you it's one person so take that with a grain of salt. Vic Buraconak is a Director in Ontario, Toronto GTA, Mississauga. Check for reviews on LandOfFree.com
