US EditionTesla Starts Selling Chinese-Made Model 3s in Canada at the EV's Lowest Price Ever
Tesla says the Shanghai-built Model 3 Premium RWD delivers 463 km of range and cuts the Canadian starting price to a record low.
- Tesla launched a new Model 3 Premium RWD trim in Canada starting at $39,490, delivering 463 km of range with a 4.2-second 0-100 km/h time—a record-low price for the electric sedan.
- Prime Minister Mark Carney struck a tariff deal with Beijing in January, slashing duties on Chinese-made EVs from 100% to 6.1%, enabling Tesla to resume imports from Giga Shanghai.
- By shifting production to Giga Shanghai from Fremont, Tesla cut the Model 3 Performance price by 17% to $74,990, capitalizing on significantly lower manufacturing costs in Shanghai.
- Although the new Model 3 offers a record-low price, Shanghai-built vehicles do not qualify for Canada's $5,000 Electric Vehicle Affordability Program rebate, which competitors like Hyundai Ioniq 5 do receive.
- The competitive landscape will shift quickly, as BYD plans to establish 20 Canadian dealerships within a year, with Toronto as its first market entry.
