Well maybe you need to wait until they start using 2170 cells from the Gigafactory. That should decrease the non-North American part count and significantly reduce the price of the car in Canada. (You can thank NAFTA for that.)
I attended a presentation by Tesla staff where they said the Gigafactory producing cells would help them keep the costs of the Model 3 down, and that North American production would eliminate the duty we currently pay. I asked if these savings would make their way into Model S and X pricing, and after some uncomfortable squirming was told, no, not likely.
