Tesla increases prices of its vehicles in Canada as the tariffs battle escalates with the US

The 47th President of the United States Donald J. Trump said on Friday that a 25% import tariff would be imposed on Canada starting 1st Feb 2025.

This statement came in light of Elon Musk’s Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE) analysis of controlling US expenditure and increasing revenue at the same time.

However, a response from the other side of the border wasn’t unexpected. The former finance minister and candidate for the next prime minister of Canada Chrystia Freeland issued a statement that proposes a 100% tariff on Elon Musk‘s Tesla cars being imported into Canada, Financial Times reported.

“Canada must threaten to impose a 100 percent tariff on all Tesla vehicles and a 100 percent tariff on US wine, beer and spirits if unfair tariffs are imposed on Canadians,” Chrystia Freeland said.

Tesla Vehicle Prices in Canada after 1st February

Although, this is just a proposal from a politician currently not in office, the statement made headlines across the globe.

Elon Musk’s Tesla (TSLA) increased the prices of its vehicles in Canada by a considerable amount from 1st February. For example, the price of the base Model 3 RWD has been increased by CA$5,000 which now starts at CA$59,990 (the previous price was CA$54,990).

The other variants of the Tesla Model 3 saw an even bigger price increase (list below). However, it’s not confirmed if the US-Canada tariff war is the trigger of these insane price increases for Tesla vehicles in Canada.
