Tesla's Tariff Troubles: Price Hikes in Canada and What It Means for Buyers

Hey everyone, DennisCW here. If you're a Tesla enthusiast like me, you've probably been keeping an eye on the latest news. Recently, Tesla has been hit hard by tariff pressures, especially in the Canadian market. Prices for popular models like the Model Y and Model 3 have skyrocketed, and it might not be long before we see similar changes elsewhere. In this post, I'll break down the details, share my thoughts, and recommend some essential accessories to make your Tesla ownership even better.

The Tariff Impact on Tesla Prices

Tesla is facing significant challenges due to tariffs, particularly in Canada. These new tariffs have already led to immediate price increases for new vehicles. If you're in Canada and considering a purchase, you might want to act fast—prices could keep climbing.

According to recent updates, Tesla has raised prices on several models:

• Model 3 Long Range All-Wheel Drive: Up by $11,000
• Model 3 Performance: Up by $10,000
• Model Y All-Wheel Drive: A whopping $15,000 increase
• Model S: Nearly $20,000 more
• Model X: Almost $20,000 higher
• Cybertruck All-Wheel Drive: $25,000 increase
• Cybertruck Cyber Beast: A massive $30,000 jump

Inventory vehicles in Canada haven't seen these changes yet since they're already in the country, but new builds are being affected. This is a direct result of the tariff situation in the US spilling over borders. It's concerning because Tesla vehicles are already on the premium side, and these hikes could make them even less accessible.

I'm worried that if this trend hits the US market, it might deter potential buyers. Tesla's sales could take a hit, especially when competitors are offering more affordable options. What do you think? Let me know in the comments—have these price changes influenced your plans?

My Advice: Buy Now or Wait It Out?

If you're eyeing a Tesla in Canada, this might be your sign to pull the trigger sooner rather than later. Prices on incoming vehicles could fluctuate even more, and who knows what the future holds? On the flip side, if you're in the US, keep an eye on your local listings for any early warnings. Exploring pre-tail pricing or current inventory could save you a bundle while supplies last.

Don't Forget the Essentials: Tesla Accessories from Joah

Now that we've covered the tough news, let's talk about something more exciting—making the most of your Tesla ownership. When you buy a Tesla, it comes with zero accessories, not even a basic phone mount. But don't worry; I've got you covered with my top recommendations from our partner, Joah.

In my experience as a Tesla owner, there are a few must-haves that every driver should consider:

• Phone Mount: Keeps your phone secure during those exhilarating accelerations and ensures hands-free navigation.
• Center Console Organizer: Prevents your stuff from getting lost in the chaos of daily drives.
• Invisible Underscreen Station Mount: Perfect for stashing sunglasses or other small items out of sight but within reach.

Joah offers all of these and more, and I personally use their products—they're that good! They've also got some fun extras like:

• A wireless game controller that fits neatly in the glove box for entertainment on the go.
• A portable air compressor for handling flat tires during road trips.
• An electric scooter for quick jaunts from superchargers or parking spots.
