Tesla is asking customers in Canada to purchase vehicles at pre-tariff prices. This offer comes as the company prepares to raise prices in response to ongoing trade tensions. Currently, a banner on the Elon Musk-led electric car maker's Canadian website is showing a message that reads, “explore pre-tariff priced inventory while supplies last.” This message began appearing for customers over the weekend, a report claims. This comes as US President Donald Trump’s 25% tariffs on imported cars and car parts remain in place, despite a 90-day pause on most other tariffs announced earlier this month. In response, Canada has also imposed its own 25% tariff on US car imports.
According to a report by The New York Post, a Tesla sales representative at a dealership near Toronto said the pre-tariff prices are available for all models that were imported into Canada before the tariff increases were implemented.
How will these tariffs increase the prices of Tesla cars in Canada
As per data from the car blog Drive Tesla, after the current inventory is sold, customers will face higher prices for buying a Tesla car with some models seeing increases of up to 22%. For example, the all-wheel drive version of the Cybertruck, which now costs C$139,990 (about $101,250 USD), will increase by C$25,000 ($18,000 USD) from its previous price of C$114,990 ($83,169 USD).
The price of Tesla’s long-range Model 3 sedan in Canada will rise 16% to C$79,990 ($57,855 USD), while the long-range Model Y SUV will become 21% more expensive at C$84,990 ($61,471 USD).
These increases come at a challenging time for Tesla, as the company faces a sales slowdown. Vehicle deliveries — a key indicator of sales — dropped by 13% in the first quarter, and Tesla’s net profit fell sharply by 71% during the same period.
