Tesla raises vehicle prices as much as $30,000 in Canada

Tesla raised prices for nearly all of its vehicles in Canada by tens of thousands of dollars, and has started promoting a limited inventory of vehicles with pre-tariff pricing available “while supplies last.”

As spotted by Tesla North, prices increased by over 20 per cent, with some vehicles costing as much as $30,000 more than before. Here’s a breakdown of the pricing:

Tesla Model 3

• Model 3 Long Range All-Wheel Drive – starts at $79,990 ($11,000 increase).
• Model 3 Performance – starts at $89,990 ($10,000 increase).
• Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive – no longer available (previously $55,990).

Tesla Model Y

• Model Y Long Range – starts at $84,990 ($15,000 increase).

Tesla Model S

• Model S – starts at $133,990 ($19,000 increase).
• Model S Plaid – starts at $154,990 ($18,000 increase).

Tesla Model X

• Model X All-Wheel Drive – starts at $140,990 ($19,000 increase).
• Model X Plaid – starts at $161,990 ($19,000 increase).

Tesla Cybertruck

• Cybertruck All-Wheel Drive – starts at $139,990 ($25,000 increase).
• Cyberbeast – starts at $167,990 ($30,000 increase).

Moreover, Tesla North noted that Tesla’s Canadian website no longer allows the placement of custom orders. Instead, it directs customers to use the Tesla app to customize and order new vehicles, while the website pushes visitors to purchase from existing, pre-tariff inventory. That said, even the pre-tariff inventory is more expensive than it was earlier this year.

The price hikes come after Canada implemented a 25 per cent counter tariff on U.S.-made vehicles that aren’t compliant with the CUSMA trade deal. Canada also applied a 25 per cent tariff to the non-Canadian and non-Mexican content of CUSMA-compliant U.S.-made vehicles.

However, this isn’t Tesla’s only price hike this year. The electric vehicle (EV) company raised prices in January and again in February after the end of the federal EV rebate. Speaking of the federal rebate, Tesla is also in hot water over a suspicious surge in sales right before the end of the rebate. The federal government has now frozen $43 million worth of Tesla rebates until it can verify that all the claims are valid.

Price increases just another reason not to buy

The ongoing trade war with the U.S. also resulted in Tesla being barred from future EV incentives, one of many retaliations against the company rooted in Tesla owner Elon Musk’s controversial involvement with the Trump administration. B.C. Hydro cut Tesla from its charger rebate program, the company was booted from the Vancouver Auto Show, and the EV maker has become a target for anti-Musk protests.

We’ve also seen Tesla vehicles vandalized at dealerships and other attacks to the point that Tesla owners are getting creative with attempts to distance themselves from Musk. Resale values have plummeted, and Tesla recently reported its Q1 2025 earnings with a 20 percent drop in revenue and a 71 percent decline in net income, illustrating just how impactful the protests have been.

If all that wasn’t enough to deter you from buying a Tesla, it’s also worth pointing out that Tesla recalled all Cybertrucks because they were literally falling apart. Due to the recall, we learned that the company sold fewer than 2,000 Cybertrucks in Canada — not a great look for Tesla’s flagship new vehicle.

Amid Tesla’s ongoing struggles, Musk said he would step back from DOGE to focus on the company, though it remains to be seen if a reduced political presence will be enough to address deeper issues with the company. Plus, there’s mounting evidence that even people in the government don’t like Musk, which could mean his time working in the administration is coming to a close. Unfortunately for Musk, it might be too little, too late.
