Tesla has made pricing adjustments to its high volume Model 3 and Model Y electric vehicles in Canada, effective as of October 19, 2023.
The Model 3 has seen a price reduction of $1,000 across multiple configurations. The Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) version now costs $53,990, down from $54,990, while the Long Range version is priced at $63,990, down from $64,990. The Performance version remains unchanged at $73,290.
Similarly, the Model Y has experienced a $2,000 price cut. The RWD version is now priced at $57,990, down from $59,990. The Long Range version has been reduced to $67,990 from $69,990, and the Performance version is now $74,290, down from $76,290.
These price changes are expected to stimulate demand in Canada for Tesla’s fourth quarter. Both the Model 3 and Model Y qualify for provincial rebates as well as the federal iZEV rebate ($5,000), making them more financially accessible to consumers.
This would mean an entry Model 3 would be $41,990 in Quebec and entry Model Y would be $45,990, respectively after maximum rebates ($7,000 provincial rebate + $5,000 iZEV), for example. A gas-powered entry Honda CR-V costs $37,250 in comparison, but lacks the technological advances and gas savings offered by a Tesla.
Ordering a Tesla through a referral also saves an extra $250 USD off your purchase, plus gives free Full Self-Driving capability for 3 months.

Didn’t I just hear about some guy being told by Tesla that he would have to pay $21,000 to replace his batteries because he drove in the rain? I’d think it’s kind of important to be able to drive in the rain.
I have a Tesla since September 2020. Never drove in the rain. I finally decided to do it today, and then this comment. Omg. Are you kidding me? My batterie is scraped? Next time post before I waste an expensive car.
LOL, not kidding, I heard it in a podcast on twit.tv, did check it but that’s what they were saying. I hope it’s an exaggeration but the way they were saying it it didn’t sound like it.

I think the point was more of how ridiculous it was that he was being charged that much because he drove in the rain not because it’s common.

Autoblog should contact this guy to tell him it was a really bad idea: https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM2X1JjTf/
Seriously, I think it’s important to note that EVs (Teslas in particular) are not made of a single giant battery, such as the 60 kWh battery in the Tesla Model 3. Instead, they are made up of many small cells that can be replaced individually. This design allows for greater flexibility and cost-effectiveness in maintaining and upgrading EVs.
This is because the 2024 refreshed Model 3 and Model Y are probably coming soon to American so they need to lower stock of the current model.
