I was just about to share that info. So, congrats everyone - we did it!

Congrats to all for sticking it out. Special appreciation to the folks on this board for being proactive and tenacious. Hopefully Tesla can get us all our cars by Sep 10.

There we have it...MTO has updated the site!!!!

I won't pretend to know your driving situation at home and I seriously hope everyone who can does get the rebate, but I think most should consider getting the car either way. We are a 2 car family with 3 kids, in 3 months I have put close to 8000km on the 3 and almost no gas in our van. We use the car as the preferred daily driver and are really seeing the savings, I figure every 1000 km is $100 in my pocket. I'm not fooling myself ,I know it will never pay for the car but I am driving a very nice vehicle at an affordable price . Losing the rebate when it is so close is definitely a kick in the teeth but doesn't have to be a deal breaker. I also talked to someone the other day who said he is getting $200 a rental on turo, I don't think I would enjoy watching my car drive away with a stranger but it is an option .

Not sure how anyone disagrees with this post, even disagreeabl himself.

I mean really, a statement about shifting usage to a 0 carbon ride, a realistic, in fact quite conservative savings estimate compared to driving a van; an acknowledgement of self awareness that he'll never pay for the 3 from his savings while comparing the enjoyment of driving a 3; a comment about renting it out... disagree with what exactly.
Maybe disagree that someone is content, or even possibly happy about a decision to go ahead.
Good for you @Harrta, I hope your ride gives you hundreds of thousands of enjoyable KM ahead.

Tesla routed a lot of the cars that were headed to Ontario away from Toronto once this news was released. I'm surprised there hasn't been a time extension to the September 10th deadline...

The PCs did the bare minimum to satisfy the judge's ruling. Offering an extended grace period to Tesla would look really bad on them toward the base supporters and dealership insiders.

Congrats everyone, I really didn't believe it was going to happen.
I think that the minister stating "except tesla" in his comment was the asteroid for the dinosaurs that brought it all down on them, but they deserve it.
Now lets hope the Class action on the Mincome program is successful, because as nice as it is that many will be getting $14K for their Teslas, in the great scheme of things, those folks who were part of the Mincome truly need to be supported.

Still kinda blows for the dual motor holdouts...rear wheel drive is just so.....soft!!

This gives only ten days for Tesla to react, ship cars our way and deliver 100 cars though... that hardly seems fair.

Congrats to everyone that kept the orders!

Ohhh joy. This is amazing news. Thanks for sharing and thanks to everyone here. Glad we held each other's hands not knowing what to do during this ordeal. This week has been lots of great news after a couple of months of worrying about so much that is going on in our lives lately. So thrilled that one more thing is sorted out

Wow. Kudos to Tesla! They really went to bat for their customers. I’m not sure if any of the big five would have done that. Thank you everyone for your support.

 

[champion1955]

Nice. While I’m happy for all of you that kept your orders and can now qualify for the rebate, truly I’m ecstatic for you, I’m going to cry now for my loss.

Damn you Ford. Damn you and your buck-a-beer. Let’s all got stoned and drunk while the earth spirals into a climate changing hell hole. Priorities mate.

Well, it’s only a temporary setback. Just have to save for a few years more.

Congrats again folks!

 

[Jaydawg71]

Congrats to everyone who held onto their order. Guess I should not have cancelled mine. It was just too big of a gamble to take.

Looks like Tesla did react internally without informing the customers who were affected by the PCs policy. Another forum user posted they had their order cancellation confirmed and then the same cancellation put on hold. A account manager with high level of information had kept the production order in place even if the end customer cancelled.

The ironic part is that same user is now stuck with a BMW M2 order and has the option to keep the TM3 order. Either way, there's a white M3 destined for Ontario that may or may not qualify for the rebate.

Well
I have no vin ordered June 20th. I’m pretty sure that Tesla won’t be able to get me the car in time. Sucks for me again I guess.

 

[Diesel123]

Wonder if Tesla will have extra pick up stops for vechicles next 10 days?
If it was an option I’d fly to the factory and a road trip home if it couldn’t get to Ontario in time!

... someone is uncharacteristically quiet on this board today.... just sayin'

They have given us 4 business days to take delivery of the vehicle. Try getting plates and registered within this time frame. Another BS move by the PC’s.
