For the first time ever, you can drive home a <b data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"155\">Model Y for under $40,000<\/b> (after incentives) and a <b data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"206\">Model 3 for under $40,000<\/b> (sticker price).<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"2\">Here is everything you need to know about these record-breaking prices and why right now is the best time to buy.<\/p>\n<hr data-path-to-node=\"3\" \/>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"4\"><b data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">1. The Model Y: Under $45,000 After Incentives<\/b><\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">The Tesla Model Y is the best-selling vehicle in the world for a reason, and it just became significantly more accessible.<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"6\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The Price:<\/b> Tesla has positioned the Model Y Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) at <b data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"70\">$49,990<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The Incentive:<\/b> Because the base price is now under the federal threshold, it qualifies for the <b data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"95\">$5,000 Federal iZEV \/ EVAP Incentive<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The Result:<\/b> Your effective price drops to <b data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"42\">$44,990<\/b>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\">This is the first time the Model Y\u2014a spacious SUV with 463 km of range and a 0-100 km\/h time of 7.2 seconds\u2014has effectively cost less than $45,000 CAD.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8\"><i data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"1\">The Model Y RWD: Now qualifying for the full $5,000 government rebate.<\/i><\/p>\n<hr data-path-to-node=\"9\" \/>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"10\"><b data-path-to-node=\"10\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">2. The Model 3: A Sub-$40K Sticker Price<\/b><\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11\">While the Model Y is grabbing headlines with the rebate, the Model 3 is making history on its own. By sourcing the Model 3 from Giga Shanghai, Tesla has slashed the entry price to a record-low <b data-path-to-node=\"11\" data-index-in-node=\"193\">$39,490<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"12\">This is the lowest sticker price for a new Tesla in Canadian history. Even without additional federal rebates (due to sourcing requirements), the &#8220;out the door&#8221; price is now competitive with basic gas-powered sedans, while offering:<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"13\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">463 km Range<\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Premium Interior<\/b> (Standard on the new &#8220;Premium RWD&#8221; trim)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"13,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Upgraded Suspension<\/b> for a smoother, quieter ride.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr data-path-to-node=\"14\" \/>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"15\"><b data-path-to-node=\"15\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Why Order Now?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"16\">If you&#8217;re looking at these prices and wondering if they\u2019ll go lower\u2014don\u2019t count on it.

Once the 2026 quota is filled, these specific low-priced models may become harder to find.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"17,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"17,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Referral Benefits:<\/b> By using a referral link, you can often unlock additional perks like <b data-path-to-node=\"17,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"88\">3 months of Full Self-Driving (Supervised)<\/b> or extra loyalty credits that can be used for Supercharging or software upgrades.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"17,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"17,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Gas Savings:<\/b> With the Model Y and Model 3 priced this low, the &#8220;Total Cost of Ownership&#8221; becomes undeniable.
