Tesla discontinues complimentary Model 3/Y enhancement encouragement in the United States, retains Supercharging benefit in Canada.
Tesla Offers Incentives for Model Y and Model 3 in Canada
Tesla is still offering attractive incentives for its Model Y and Model 3 in Canada, despite the end of the "One Free Upgrade" promotion. The key active incentives include a federal credit of $7,500 on qualifying purchases or leases delivered by September 30, 2025, and a new promotion offering free lifetime Supercharging on all new Model 3 inventory purchased in Canada.
The federal credit still applies to both Model 3 and Model Y for cash or financed purchases and leases, valid until the end of September 2025. On the other hand, Canadian buyers can enjoy free unlimited Supercharging for life on all Model 3 inventory, which extends to Supercharging stations in the United States as well.
It's important to note that the federal iZEV incentive program for EVs, which provided additional rebates, has paused as of January 12, 2022, with no current plans to resume funding. Provincial incentives vary, with most provinces not currently offering additional Tesla vehicle incentives, except for some possible support in Quebec and British Columbia.
Tesla has recently reduced Model Y pricing in Canada significantly by approximately CAD 20,000. However, the promotion is available for existing inventory only, and no Model Y inventory is currently available in Canada, awaiting new shipments from Giga Berlin. The Model Y incentive in the U.S. has ended, but the Model 3 incentive still exists for existing inventory.
New Model Y shipments from Giga Berlin are expected to arrive in Canada in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, the U.S. federal $7,500 EV tax credit for Tesla buyers is set to expire at the end of September. Customers are placing orders now in the U.S. to lock in savings before the EV tax credit deadline.
Estimated delivery windows for certain Model Y variants and Model 3 configurations have stretched from 1-3 weeks to 4-6 weeks for custom orders. Additionally, Tesla recently increased Model Y lease prices in the U.S. by as much as 14%.
In conclusion, while the "One Free Upgrade" promotion has ended, Tesla still offers attractive incentives for its Model Y and Model 3 in Canada, including a federal credit and free lifetime Supercharging for Model 3 inventory. Customers are encouraged to place their orders now to take advantage of these incentives before they expire.
Technology integration and charging convenience are key highlights of Tesla's incentives for electric-vehicles in Canada, as both the Model Y and Model 3 come with a federal credit of $7,500, and an offer of free lifetime Supercharging for Model 3 purchases. Furthermore, adopting an electric-lifestyle becomes even more appealing with the benefits of eco-friendly cars like the Model Y and Model 3, offered by Tesla in Canada.
