Tesla Broadens Canada's Self-Service Test Drive Initiative

Tesla has extended its Self-Serve Demo Drive program in Canada, making it easier for Canadians to experience the electric vehicle (EV) giant's technology at their convenience. The latest rollout includes new locations in Brantford, Markham, Owen Sound, and several other cities across Quebec and Ontario.

How to Book a Self-Serve Demo Drive in Canada

To book a Self-Serve Demo Drive for a Tesla in Canada, including the newly added locations in Brantford, Markham, and Owen Sound, follow these steps:

  1. Visit Tesla’s official demo drive booking page. Tesla provides a dedicated section on their website for scheduling Self-Serve Demo Drives in various locations, including Canadian cities [1].
  2. Search for available locations in Canada. The recent additions of Brantford, Markham, and Owen Sound are likely listed alongside other locations. While the exact booking URLs for those three cities are not explicitly found in the search results, Tesla's platform typically updates their list of available demo drive centers frequently [1].
  3. Select your preferred location (Brantford, Markham, or Owen Sound). If available, these locations will let you access and book a demo drive slot directly online.
  4. Complete the booking process by choosing a date and time and providing your details.

Key Details About the Self-Serve Demo Drive Program

  • Each new location offers varying hours of operation, but most are open six days a week, with drives available between 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM.
