Tesla reopens Canadian Model 3 Premium in configurator, orders still paused
Tesla made a minor change to the Canadian Model 3 configurator: the Premium trims are no longer greyed out and can be selected, but orders remain paused due to import quota restrictions. According to a Drive Tesla check of Tesla Canada's website on Friday, the order button has been replaced by 'Get updates', which lets customers sign up for availability notifications. Tesla stopped accepting orders for the China-built Model 3 Premium on October 12, after exhausting its allocation under Canada's quota for Chinese electric vehicles.…
- Model 3 Premium is selectable again in Canada; orders still paused since October 12.
- Chinese import quota exhausted; both Premium trims affected.
🔎 Why it matters: The configurator change does not reopen sales: the Model 3 Premium remains blocked in Canada by the quota for Chinese-built vehicles, and the site only offers notifications.
📈 Upside: Buyers interested in the Model 3 Premium can sign up through 'Get updates' to receive availability alerts.
📉 Risk: Both Premium trims have had no orders since October 12, and their reopening depends on the quota allocation set by Global Affairs Canada.
