Latest Tesla versions Model S and Model X now accessible in Canada, albeit at increased costs
In a recent development, Tesla has refreshed its Model S and Model X vehicle lineup in Canada, introducing a series of updates aimed at enhancing user experience and efficiency.
The Model S and Model X now feature a front bumper camera for better visibility and likely improved Full Self-Driving (FSD) performance. This refresh also includes minor exterior tweaks, with the addition of new paint options such as Frost Blue Metallic and Diamond Black. The updated designs were first introduced in the U.S. in June.
The Model S All-Wheel Drive (AWD) in Canada starts at $139,990 CAD, an increase of $6,000, while the Model S Plaid now starts at $159,990 CAD, up by $5,000. The Model X AWD starts at $149,990 CAD, an increase of $9,000, and the Model X Plaid starts at $169,990 CAD, up by $8,000.
The Model S Plaid boasts exclusive front and rear bumper designs, and the updated wheel designs are available across both the Model S and Model X. The Frost Blue Metallic and Diamond Black paint options are available for both models in Canada.
Tesla has also made fine adjustments to bumpers to enhance aerodynamics and driving comfort. The updates focus on boosting efficiency, ride comfort, and interior refinement, without major changes to the powertrain or basic architecture.
Interestingly, while prices increased for the Model S and Model X, Tesla simultaneously lowered the price of the Model Y AWD by $20,000 in Canada. This price reduction is likely due to a new import strategy from Giga Berlin.
This refresh marks Tesla's continued commitment to innovation and improving the luxury electric vehicle experience for its customers in Canada.
