In recent years, Tesla has become a name that virtually everybody knows about. Whether it’s because of good news, bad news, their involvement in the solar energy sector, or simply because of their well-known vehicle line-up that includes the controversial Cybertruck, people know Tesla. And so far, despite all that’s going on in the world with its CEO Elon Musk, Tesla prices are on the rise in Metro Vancouver (and everywhere else in Canada).
Today’s blog post is all about what’s going on in recent news regarding the Tesla Motors company, their CEO Elon Musk, and why prices have suddenly increased on all Tesla vehicles across Canada.
If you’ve been thinking about selling your own Tesla vehicle lately, now is as good a time as any. Even though the PST exemption has been discontinued on used EVs, you’ll still get a great price on your Tesla now because the demand for used ones is higher than ever. Talk to Cash For Cars BC if you’re considering selling, because NOBODY Pays More!
As a professional use car buyer for over 30 years in the Lower Mainland, we try our best to stay up to date on all current auto news both in Canada and the United States. Because we know that what could impact our American friends, can also impact Canadians. And because of recent tariffs and various other issues taking place these days, nothing could be truer.
Thanks to the current tariff war that’s taking place between the United States and Canada (and every other country that imports or exports with the USA), Tesla vehicle prices have increased drastically. Not that they were ever cheap to begin with…
There were many different incentives and rebates in place in British Columbia and across Canada to entice consumers into purchasing a clean energy vehicle. However, even with these incentives, consumers are noticing a major jump in Tesla prices. One to the tune of up to $9,000.
The main reason for the increase in price on Tesla vehicles is reportedly because of the current tariffs. However, those tariffs are no longer in effect for the next 90 days (possibly more), but the prices of Tesla vehicles still have not come down in Canada.
According to Tesla dealerships across the Lower Mainland, the cost increase on most Tesla vehicles varies between $5,000 and $11,000. But in some provinces the price of certain Tesla vehicles has gone up a staggering $30,000. Making certain base models around $133,000 to own.
And although Musk has stated that it’s due mostly to the tariffs, there are other factors including production cost increases and increasing difficulties to purchase supplies to build these vehicles.
Yes, Tesla does have their hand in a variety of other sectors that produce various goods. From solar panels and solar roofs to energy storage solutions that operate as a sort of generator in the event of outages.
And much like the increases seen on Tesla vehicles in Canada, anyone who is looking to purchase other Tesla goods cross-border will be seeing a price increase there as well. Because between tariffs and the rising cost of supplies and production, even other Tesla products have gone up astronomically.
Amidst all the price hikes, Elon Musk cut thousands of jobs across America in an effort to reduce overhead by “removing unproductive workers”. Which has people outraged and has prompted so much of the current Tesla displeasure worldwide.
Some works are limited to what they can do because of mobility issues, mental or physical health concerns, or simply age. And because of their limitations, many of them were let go from there jobs because of Musk’s demands on maximizing work output in all of his companies.
How Much Do Tesla’s Cost in Canada Now?
The price range on the Tesla vehicles has jumped considerably. So many people are considering buying used ones (those who are still wanting to purchase them).
Here are the average prices of Tesla vehicles in Metro Vancouver in 2025:
- Tesla Models S & X: $133,900
- Tesla Model Y: $84,900
- Tesla Model 3: $79,900
- Tesla Cybertruck: $139,900
- Tesla Cybertruck Cyberbeast: $167,900
All of the above prices are before taxes, delivery fees, and documentation fees (and any other hidden fees that Tesla might throw at your right now). It’s also important to mention that these prices are only for the vehicles produced post tariffs. All pre-tariff vehicles should still be at their original pricing (keep a keen eye on your paperwork!).
Which means that now is as important time as ever to get the best price on your current vehicle, to make the purchase of a new Tesla practical, let alone possible.
The sudden increase makes it even more crucial to get the best price for your trade-in vehicle. Because if you’re considering buying a Tesla, you’ll want to combine rebates, incentives, and a sizable down-payment.
