Tesla Inc. is increasing vehicle prices in Canada and urging customers to purchase cars imported before counter-tariffs were applied to US-made vehicles.
The company’s Canadian website displayed a banner stating, “Explore pre-tariff priced inventory while supplies last,” as noted on Saturday.
Following the implementation of sweeping tariffs by President Donald Trump on Canadian goods, which included a 25% duty on vehicle content produced outside the US under a US-Mexico-Canada trade pact, Canada announced its retaliatory import taxes designed to match US duties.
As of April 26, prices for new Tesla orders were higher compared to the same models listed in inventory. For instance, the long-range Model 3 with all-wheel drive was priced at C$79,990 ($57,700) for a new order, while vehicles from the 2025 model year already in stock were offered for approximately C$69,000.
The company did not provide a comment. This price increase was initially reported by driveteslacanada.ca, which mentioned that the cost to Canadian buyers for new orders of certain models, such as the all-wheel drive Cybertruck, is as much as 22% higher.
Tesla’s CEO, Elon Musk, has faced criticism in Canada due to his support for the US President, who has expressed a desire to have Canada become part of the US. Musk announced that he will dedicate more time to Tesla starting next month after the automaker experienced its worst first-quarter financial results in years.
