Tesla Raises Prices 13-22 Percent in Canada Due to Tariffs
Tesla raised new vehicle prices in Canada by 13-22 percent over the weekend as a result of the Canadian counter-tariffs that came into effect soon after U.S. president Donald Trump imposed 25-percent tariffs on foreign-made automobiles and parts.
The Model 3 Long Range AWD and Performance compact sedans are up $11,000 and $10,000 to $79,990 and $89,990, respectively. Meanwhile, the refreshed and updated Model Y Long Range AWD is $15,000 more expensive at $84,990.

The Model S large sedan’s new prices are $133,990 in Long Range AWD trim (+$19,000) and $154,990 in Plaid trim (+$18,000). In the case of the Model X midsize crossover, we’re talking about a Long Range AWD model now starting at $140,990 (+$19,000) and a Plaid model at $161,990 (+19,000).
The biggest hikes affect the Cybertruck. The Dual Motor AWD and Tri-Motor Cyberbeast AWD models get a bump of $25,000 and $30,000 to $139,990 and $167,990, respectively, making them even pricier than the original Foundation Series models.
With these jacked-up prices applying to new orders and new vehicles entering Canada, it’s going to be real hard for Tesla to be competitive and manage even decent sales. A banner at the top of its Canadian website says “Explore pre-tariff priced inventory while supplies last.”
Incidentally, prices remain unchanged for new and used vehicles currently in inventory. Speaking of which, used Teslas will start to sound like a much more attractive proposition now.
Back on April 2, Tesla reported a 13-percent drop in first-quarter global sales amid lower production during factory upgrades and blowback over CEO Elon Musk's work for the Trump administration. Its 336,681 deliveries were the lowest total since the summer of 2022.
