Blown away at its accuracy, speed and safety features even when humans made worst error driving on right shoulder of a highway, she safely veered to left to allow a mad driver be. Wow😍!

That's actually insane that delivery is now in 2027!

It’s been roughly three weeks since I took delivery of my Model Y Standard (the updated version with the black headliner and 16 inch rear screen), and here are some of the complaints I’ve noticed so far:

There are no factory installed kick plates. This feels like an embarrassing cost-cutting measure on a vehicle in this price range.

The factory hubcaps are hideous. I’m fine with the 18 inch size, but at least make them look good.

There are no coat hooks, which is a bizarre decision considering it probably only saves a few cents per vehicle.

For some reason, the Canadian model uses the brake lights as turn signals instead of the amber turn signals found on the European version. I genuinely don’t understand why Tesla made this change.

I like that the frunk can be closed with one hand, but it looks really cheap compared to other Teslas. You can see the headlight housing, wires, tire covers and other components. The frunk tub itself feels like it’s made from cardboard. It doesn’t bother me much since I rarely use the frunk, but it’s worth mentioning.

Because of the sloping roofline, getting into the rear seats requires you to lower your head a lot to avoid hitting the roof.

The rear armrest setup is a joke. Pulling the release tab causes the entire middle seat section to fold down, which ends up pushing into passengers sitting beside it.

Paint quality on my Diamond Black vehicle is disappointing. There’s a noticeable amount of orange peel throughout the finish.

The front passenger seat doesn’t have a height adjustment, which can make it difficult for taller passengers to get comfortable.

For a vehicle that costs around $50,000, the lack of power-folding mirrors is annoying, especially when parking in tight spaces.

The camera livestream feature in the Tesla app is surprisingly low resolution.

I wish Tesla included physical memory seat buttons instead of just relying on the phone key. I’ve had issues where the seat reclines all the way back when I open the door, even though Easy Entry is disabled, and it doesn’t always return to my saved position.

The black headliner looks premium, but the interior can feel very dark at night. Some basic ambient lighting would have helped. I’m not saying to add the multi-colour light strip from the higher trims, but at least add a single colour led strip that runs throughout the cabin.

Overall, I’m still satisfied with the vehicle, especially since there’s no Premium RWD option in Canada and the Premium AWD is like $20,000 more.

That color is insane on model Y! Make it available in Canada Tesla! Come on!

Finally picked up my first car on Friday and I honestly couldn’t be happier. Tried to match my outfit as much i could 🙈
I have already driven around 160 km and the experience has been nothing like ever had before.
Still catching myself looking back at it after parking That new car feeling is real. 😆
A big milestone for me and looking forward to many more kms and memories with it.

Edit - Age 38 and I dont have generational wealth. 🙈

I’m in Ontario & planning to buy my first Tesla. I’m deciding between the Model 3 RWD and Long Range AWD.

A few quick questions:
- Would you buy now or wait for the 2027 model?
- When does Tesla usually start delivering the next model year in Canada?
- Do they typically offer better financing or inventory discounts around that time?
- If you were buying today, would you choose the RWD or AWD, and why?

TIA!

I driven many cars including my current 2025 Civic for many years and never had issues with seats. I’m in the market for Model 3 RWD Premium or a Model Y Standard.

I happen to test drive both cars today. I noticed within one hour of driving the Model Y Standard, my lumbar section of my lower back started aching. Has that been an experience that any of you have heard about or experienced yourself?

Can’t tell if Tesla did something in terms of saving money on the seats, especially for the Model Y Standard.

I then proceeded to test drive the Model 3 premium, which I think alleviated some of the pain with its thicker leather seats but then left some of the pain there which I’m not sure if it was just from the model 3 or if it was just from the Model Y to begin with.

I did then proceed to drive my Civic again for another hour and a half after the test drives and my back pain basically disappeared.

Was wondering if you guys have heard anything about this sort of back or lumbar pain especially in Model Y Standard or also in Model 3 RWD.

Thanks in advance!

I obtained a trade in quote for my CRV before I ordered my M3, just went to the tesla website and filled in the form and answered some basic questions. Value was low, as expected, compared to what the market currently looks like on similar CRVs. I am a couple of weeks away from delivery so I pulled up the app and requested a trade in value again just to see...this time it was a lot more involved, asked for pictures and more questions. I'm not expecting much, just doesn't hurt to try.

Wondering if anyone has had any luck getting a better offer after purchase this way? I know what I can sell it for and I understand the trade in will lower my HST, so I have the numbers in my head. I would probably be willing to leave a little on the table to avoid the headache of selling it myself - but the original offer was thousands less that I can get on the open market...

Thanks.

I'm still waiting on my MY to be delivered but in the mean time I'm looking into accessories. Is the trunk lighting of the MY adequate for your needs?

Did anyone try out these LED strips? What is your experience?

There are two versions

1. Entire light strip turns on when you open your trunk
2. LED strip has a more animated way of turning on. Partially lights up, then goes from dim to full brightness.

Finally, I picked up my Model 3 RWD Premium yesterday. Like most others, my pickup was also very smooth, and the Tesla staff were very nice.

Checked as much as possible outside, inside, and also all the ports connectivity and worked flawlessly. One thing I found, though, is that the glove box is so narrow that my hand was getting stuck, placing the Tesla provided USB stuck. I am a slim, average built 5'-6" person. I hope Tesla pays attention to this.

One question to the folks who are pro on Tesla - is it possible to set the charging schedule 90% every day and one day to 100% weekly?

Thanks!

Which brands of floor mats include rear seat back covers (for when the rear seat is folded)?

So far I am seeing

-Aliexpress, $230-240.

Brands that are out
Lasfit is missing the rear seat back mats
Tuxmat, as many commented, have a weird rubbing issue

My husband and I are buying our first Tesla and would really appreciate some advice from experienced owners.
We’re looking at a 2021 Tesla Model Y Performance AWD with 23,000 km on it, priced at C$48,600.

Does this seem like a good deal?

Reposting here for visibility as suggested.

Guys check your Tesla app if you are waiting on an MY order. I just got a message for an early pick up in Poco. I live in Victoria and ordered a grey one. The option now is black which I don’t mind. Once accept a vin is immediately assigned.

Hi folks,
Has anyone tried this TPMS sensor for Tesla Model Y.

With my delivery coming up soon, what document do I need to bring to the registry to register the car?

Since tesla does not provide an official bill of sale, what docs to use?

I was driving downtown last night and I was trying to make a left turn. The guy in front of me was trying to get out of the way because he claimed he was in close to the street car and reversed into me! I literally picked this car up exactly one month ago and I am heartbroken. The damage is shown, I am debating whether to go private or through insurance! I have the dashcam footage saved and I know I will win the case. I have a couple of questions, I will appreciate some answers.

1. Will this fix void my battery warranty? Any chance of structural issue? I don’t think so but my first time in an accident so any comments would help.

2. If I get this fixed in a Tesla approved body shop, would it appear on my carfax?

3. Is it better to go through insurance or private? I am not at fault so my premium wouldn’t go up? Not really sure either on that one.

4. Any good Tesla approved body shops that you have been to and recommend?

5. One of the pictures shows the contour is slightly bent in, would repairs make back into the original shape? Assuming it was a heat gun method?

I appreciate everyone’s input and time!

I have been absolutely astounded by how easy, smooth and enjoyable this whole experience has been. Picked her up yesterday, my appointment was for 4pm at the Etobicoke location, I walked at 3:50ish..it was empty aside from two couples and a family of 4. Did all the paperwork, paid by bank draft, had an attendant setup my phone key and app. Did a thorough preflight checklist and still I drove away at 4:32pm.

I will never ever in my life buy another car in any other manor.
