Une ironique conséquence de la politique de Trump, il est désormais nettement moins couteux d'importer des voitures fabriquées en Chine jusqu'au Canada que depuis les US...
GOOD NEWS 📰 Tesla also slashed the price of the Model 3 Performance in Canada by a massive 17%, dropping it from $89,990 CAD down to a much more competitive $74,990 CAD 🔥
This shift is a direct result of Tesla moving its Canadian supply chain from Fremont to Giga Shanghai. By leveraging lower manufacturing costs and a favorable 6.1% import tariff, Tesla is passing those savings straight to the buyer and completely resetting the value proposition for the M3P.
🔥 The financial breakdown
💰 $15,000 flat savings off the MSRP compared to the previous Fremont-sourced models.
📉 16.6% total reduction in base price, making the top-tier trim significantly more accessible.
🛡️ $25,010 buffer now exists below the $100,000 Federal Luxury Tax threshold, allowing for full options without extra tax penalties.
🔥 Why the supply chain move matters
🌍 Giga Shanghai production offers higher manufacturing efficiency and lower labor costs than the Fremont factory.
📑 6.1% MFN tariff rate is being utilized instead of the standard 100% surtax, likely due to specific trade quotas or regional manufacturing credits.
💵 Direct cost pass-through means the logistics savings are being used to capture market share rather than just padding margins.
🔥 This move effectively ends the era of the "luxury-priced" M3P in Canada, positioning it as a high-value performance option that undercuts almost every rival in its class.
