- Tesla launches the Model 3 Premium RWD in Canada at $39,490 CAD, the lowest price ever for the sedan in the market.
- Canada reduces the duty on Chinese‑made EVs to 6.1 % under a 49,000‑vehicle quota after Prime Minister Mark Carney’s deal with Beijing, replacing the previous 100 % surtax.
- Performance trim price falls 17 % to $74,990 CAD, still sourced from Fremont and priced nearly the same as the U.S. version.
Why it matters: Canadian buyers get a $39,490‑CAD Model 3, 31 % cheaper than the U.S. price, boosting Tesla’s market share while squeezing U.S.‑built EV imports that now face a 25 % counter‑tariff.
