    Financing Tesla vehicles in Canada

    As of the time of my post, there are: I think the inventory is all of Canada as it doesn't change switching provinces unlike US states. Is that considered over inventory or not? 🤷‍♂️

    Nice. That's the difference over Fremont! Positive Giga Shanghai quality continues.

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    Looks good. Can you check if the front door hinges area(by the A pillar) are painted? The Model Y's aren't. Overspray is most. You can still see the white primer.

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    Speaking of rebates, the current format here in Canuck land results with the Model Y cheaper than the Model 3 for LR and Performance versions. Guess Canadian govs. prefer its citizens to drive SUVs than sensible sedans. 😆

    Help me decide Model Y performance or Model 3 performance

    The Y with its current rebates and financing rates is quite possibly the cheapest Tesla now. Crazy! If you are ok with the possibility of Juniper Y upgrade in relation to current outgoing Y. A model 3 cannot compete in space criteria anymore than a 3-series to an X3 or a 911 to a Cayenne...

    Western Canada Superchargers

    Curious to know how much mileage lost towing that camper? We did that whole Banff/Japer/Yoho road trip back in 2020. Due to Covid closures, these places were devoid of international tourists. What a wonderful experience. Don't mind doing it again.

    I am frankly shocked by how stunningly ugly the Cybertruck is

    Look despite how ugly it was, the Pontiac Aztek sold quite a bit. That same silhouette has now inspired the swoopy SUV trend that includes the Model X & Y. Who knows we might see a new trend here. :oops:

    MY 2024 Refresh - Project Juniper?

    This is a good deal for those who are OK with the possibility of driving a car that will look and feel dated possibly in the next few months. Wish this same deal is offered in Canada.

    Model 3 Highland or Model Y?

    It's pretty straight forward. If space and cargo are important, then the choice really is the Y. The sedan trunk format is not great when you have bulky stuff to load. Nothing new here. For me, I have a BMW wagon that can perform cargo hauling. If need be, I can hook a trailer/cargo basket to...

    Disappointed in my Model 3 Highland LR

    Likewise. All my ICE cars that I ever had were rock solid. Brands from Subaru, BMW, Mazda, Saab... yes Saab! All have given me little to no trouble. Some of them seen track days too.

    Hi All. This is for the BC folks there. We are planning to do some Gulf Islands hopping. Noticed that there are no SC or DCFC. Our airbnbs only have 120V sockets. What would be your strategy? I don't think there are any charging capabilities with BC Ferries.

    MY 2024 Refresh - Project Juniper?

    Motortrend has a sort of article highlighting some behind the scenes upgrades of the M3H over the old M3. One can extrapolate to some degree of the updates applying to the MY Juniper. I think the most impressive is the suspension bits. It soaks up undulations and road cracks very well without...

    Long-Range M3 or Long-Range MY for local driving, no commute

    You should check out the threads I created exactly for this engaging both the M3 and MY owners to chime in. If this is your only car and you occasionally need the trunk height, then the Y will do. The 3 is decidedly more fun and faster, however it lacks the trunk space and higher seating...

    My 2024 Quicksilver Model Y is here

    It's more of a Pewter colour. Would prefer more silver. Nonetheless, still looks snazzy. Guess I'm just so bored with the limited Tesla colours.

    Good bye

    Ioniq5 was one of my top choice heading into EV owning experience. Also next was the MachE due to price slashes. Not sure about Ireland, here in Canada, Hyundai seems to punish its customers for going with anything less than the Ultimate variant. That one comes with AWD, Sunroof, power...

    I think anyone who thinks the Tesla applied cost cutting measure to the M3H should watch Munro Live for this car.

    Yes. You can see the country of origin via tesla-info website. This odd combo means Canadian 2024 Model Y RWD will not have the same "Range-up" option as the 'muhrican version despite being assembled in US. Staying on Model 3 HighlandI topic, I checked out this car over the weekend. You can...

    Model 3 Highland or Model Y?

    Not so much in Vancouver, BC. Pacific Northwest gets more rain and grey skies. The city grinds to a halt if there's some dusting. Anything over an inch the region issues top work order. LOL! BMW wagon is AWD with winters. Working from home gives us many options. :)

    Model 3 Highland or Model Y?

    Thought I'd update everyone here. My wife and I took the M3H RWD out today. I was surprised how playful it is. The car was more composed and quiet over bumps and non-perfect roads over the '24 Y we had a few weeks ago. The M3H is very fun. Like a go-kart sort of way. Trunk space was pretty...

    Is Elon thinking of REHIRING some of the fired SuperCharging folks

    This is interesting info. Perhaps there is a convergence of roles and responsibilities. Perhaps Tom emerged as the better of the two between Tannuci? As for re-hire? Don't take it personally if it is a general lay-off. It's all business. You can come back for the money. But better have an exit...

    Anyone with a 2023-24 RWD Y think they’d pay to upgrade to LR?

    It would be nice to have that option. Unfortunately the Fremont built MY RWD to Canada is equipped with LFP so this is moot for us Canucks.

    Elon fires the head of SuperChargers and much (all?) of the SuperCharger team - how will this affect new SCs?

    Wow that's too bad! Such big news with other mfg adopting NACS. Lots of excitement with non-Tesla EV owners.

    Model Y RWD is now long range (May 3) in the US

    Aww man. Doubtful if the Canada bound Fremont build MY RWD will get this done since they came with LFP batteries.

    Model 3 Highland or Model Y?

    I think it's not the amount of volume so much as the trunk opening that results in ease of placing large items. It is also more ergonomic as the trunk floor is higher. It's just how it is. Sedan vs Hatchback format differences.

    Values dropping for used Teslas

    ^Exactly. Those folks who "revenge spend" right after Covid are the ones hurting. This is across the board. Prices are coming down to more sane levels. EVs in generally are still more expensive that equivalent ICE. Generally EVs aren't in the affordable price range to trigger mass adoption...
  43. Dear_OP

    Values dropping for used Teslas

    2021 & 2022 were weird years for car values. This applies to ICE too. Used EV values would have rebates "savings" baked in. After all it makes zero sense to buy used when it is the same price as a post-rebate new EV.

    MY 2024 Refresh - Project Juniper?

    That's known as iterative development. Pretty common place in tech sectors. Agile lean delivery is adopted by main stream orgs for nimbleness through iterative improvements. Not so great for those who expect perfection at the start. However it is great for end users towards the end of the dev cycle.

    It doesn't have to be an either/or thing. Why can't we just have a variety of propulsion types? Looks like PHEV is seeing a resurgence. That's a good bridge auto-tech for those folks where personal home charging is not possible. And yes cost is still a challenge. Exacerbated by high interest...

    Musk has been complaining and waffling about Twitter's value for months. No doubt negotiations were made to finalize the buyout and laying off a bunch of people was in the playbook when he entered the doors of 1355 Market Street in SF. Stuff like this is not a whim. I don't buy that.
