Mine must be unique amongst the tens of tousands of reservation holders: the new Canadian luxury tax. It adds roughly $8000 to the total cost which was already stretching my budget. With the Air Pure (with AWD option) that tax would be around $4000 instead, not to mention of course the much...

And Dream drive pro is a $13,500 option here in Canada. I can't understand that a $100K car doesn't have such a feature as standard. I might very well cancel my reservation due to that. Still waiting on the final Air Pure specs, and a second test drive this winter, to take a decision.

Hello all, I'll first provide details of my experience, as well as a comparison to a 2017 Tesla model S I owned, and my more recent 2022 Tesla M3P. Then I'll provide a summary, Ars Technica style, with the good, the bad and the ugly. As a bonus some extra info I managed to obtain on the Air...

FWIW the test vehicle is a Grand Touring Black with Santa Cruz interior and the 21" wheels. I'll certainly ask some questions about the Air Pure but I doubt I'll get any answers. My biggest concern is that the power of the vehicle will no be representative of the Air Pure (with AWD) I have on...

The following electro-mechanical clutch is used by Rivian to disconnect the two rear motors when using "conserve" mode. https://www.meansindustries.com/news/2021/12/amsted-electro-mechanical-e-axle-disconnect-solution-missing-link-efficient-and-high I'm not sure if the exact same device is...

OK so it doesn't apply to me as the GT is way out of my budget! But what about an upgrade from Pure to Touring? That deadline will come later I presume? I currently have a reservation on a Pure.

I must have missed something somewhere, but what is this deadline about? And what is it we can't change after that date?

I decided to put the numbers in a spreadsheet to get a clear picture. Note that all amounts are in CAN$. I rounded a few numbers for clarity. So my original Touring order was $138,800. The amount above $100K is $38,800 * 20% = $7760. However the standard federal tax also applies to this tax...

OK I finally heard back from my SA (1 week later). But not much new except maybe confirmation of delays. WRT the range and power of the AWD version of the Pure, the details remain to be confirmed and should be available by the end of the year. WRT the battery size, we can expect a different...

I'm curious to know if I'm the only one here being 'cheap' and not wanting to pay an extra 10k or more in tax on my car. I went from Touring to Pure for that reason.

And if that's the case I would just cancel my reservation. I wrote to my SA with a number of questions. Waiting for the reply and will update this thread as soon as I hear back.

As I recently downgraded to Pure (due to tax concern in my country) I'm also interested in knowing more about this, especially the power rating for the AWD version.

Just a quick followup. I downgraded to Air Pure, and my SA confirmed that if I go back to Air Touring I'll have the original price.

The EV tax credit, of $5000 (federal government) applies only if the value of the vehicle is below $70,000. There is also a provincial one of $7000, but only for vehicles below $65000. The luxury tax is obviously just for the show. I mean the 100 grand is quite an arbitrary figure just to...

Hello. That might be a dumb question but I just cannot figure out how to downgrade my current Air Touring to a Air Pure. Am I supposed to completely cancel the touring and redo a brand new reservation for the Air Pure?

Extra headache fur us canadians. There is a proposed luxury tax, from our socialist federal government, that could start on September 1st. Meaning that my 138K$ Touring would have an extra 8-10k$ of tax, in addition to the standard 15% tax which already amounts to around 20k$. So I'm planning...

Gas is very affordable in the US! Here in Montreal, Canada, it went to $2.019 per liter on Friday, which would translate to $7.63 per gallon. Premium gas is $2.249 per liter, meaning $8.40 per gallon😂

Hello, From what I understand, the Air Touring has 18 battery modules instead of 22 as in the DE and GT. Since the GT can do 520mi, a simple rule of 3 would yield 425mi of range (520/22*18). Any reasons why the Touring should be so inefficient? Especially considering it's lighter and has...

Hello, I have a reservation on a Air Touring. My current car is a relatively old 2017 Model S. Although I found lots of info/video on the Air I have a couple of questions especially for current Air owners who have experienced a Tesla in the past: - After a few months and/or thousand miles...
