Even though federal iZEV incentives are now gone, it’s still a solid moment for Canadians to buy a Tesla.
Tesla has quietly adjusted its lineup to soften the impact, led by the launch of a new Model Y Standard starting at $49,990 CAD. On top of that, the Model Y Performance is now available for lease in Canada, and Tesla has added a new Marine Blue paint option for Premium and Performance Model Y trims.
Combined with Tesla’s referral program, these changes make 2026 more buyer-friendly than it might look at first glance.
Below is how the current referral incentives break down by vehicle in Canada.
Tesla showrooms across Canada continue to offer demo drives so buyers can try Full Self-Driving (Supervised) before committing, which is so good with version 14.2 right now.
While the iZEV program is no longer part of the equation, Tesla’s pricing reset on the Model Y, new leasing flexibility, fresh colour options, and referral incentives help balance things out. For Canadians already considering a Tesla, starting an order with a referral remains one of the easiest ways to get extra value in 2026.
