WTB: Canadian model S p85 or p85+.

Have you considered import one from US ? Even if the Model S Is not listed yet in the RIV at Transport Canada I think you should be able to get the approval.

 

I'm not really looking to sell mine, but I might part with it for a premium.

 

Transport Canada is the autority that give you the final approval. When I talked to them they say that I need to get a letter from Tesla US saying that they meet all canadian requirement for the car I want to import ( VIN of the car must be specified in the letter).

I know there is some minor differences between Canadian and US cars ( red buckle for the safety belt in Canada is one of them) si I think you will have to get this completed in order to get the final approval.

Unfortunatly, In order to protect their prices and sales in Canada, I suspect than Tesla will not give us a good help on that one.

Let us know if you go further on that way

 

Your best bet for a discount is to purchase one of the service loaners. Eventually there will be more used Canadian Model S's on the market but it might take another year or so.

In the meantime unfortunately you can't import a US Model S without having Tesla do the mods and certifying the car with Transport Canada.

 

We definitely get the shaft north of the border. Has anyone confirmed that you can't import a vehicle into Canada? It would seem exceptional that Tesla would prevent that from happening, perhaps even illegal.

 

Yes, that's true. It's a clause in the rebate program to restrict it to new cars only.

 

Those are the rules. They increased the Km eligible for the rebate to account for demo cars, but it is not supposed to cover used cars.

I was under the impression there were a few cars available to purchase immediately in Toronto? Perhaps none with your options?

 

2,000km is the new cut-off for demo cars.
