In a gesture as strategic as it is spectacular, Tesla has reduced the price of its model Y with extensive autonomy and full cog in Canada by $ 20,000. The model is now displayed at $ 64,990, the same price as before the taxation of customs duties of 100 % on electric vehicles from China.
A European strategy to avoid prices
This price change, displayed Thursday on the model configuration tool on the Tesla site in Canada, suggests that the manufacturer now feeds the Canadian market from its German Giga Berlin factory. This last produced exclusively the Y Model, which would make it a logical solution to bypass the price barriers imposed on Chinese vehicles like those of Giga Shanghai.
Sales in free fall, especially in Quebec
The decision comes in a context of dramatic retardation of sales. In the first quarter of 2025, Tesla registrations in Quebec fell 90 %, contributing to a global drop of 67 % at the Canadian scale on the first half of the year.
New features for 2025, but only one version
The Model Y 2025 retains its unique long autonomy version. It is estimated at 526 km according to Natural Resources Canada, when the model is equipped with 19 -inch rims. The 20 -inch rims reduce autonomy to 488 km. Among the new features, there is an eight-inch back screen and the arrival of the Diamond Black finish, previously reserved for the United States ($ 2,000 supplement).
Deliveries are scheduled between September and October, a schedule that frames with a transatlantic import. No other Tesla model has seen its price be revised downwards equivalent to Canada.
