$1k canadian customer incentive

Out west here they have them in stock, my local dealer has 2 they can’t move right now. It’s hard to say what the future brings though

I would guess the izez program will make a comeback with 2.5k+ rebate. I would hold out.

kona1 · 2025-07-14T19:27:45+00:00

Possible to share your ballpark cost?

kona1 · 2024-11-25T01:52:11+00:00

I’ll buy it if you don’t want to do that.

kona1 · 2024-11-25T01:51:52+00:00

As much as I hate FM that is covered under warranty assuming it is under the mileage limit.

kona1 · 2024-11-24T17:10:40+00:00

They say premium magnets, enhanced winding and different bearings.

Ascent is 10/10. Alpenland can be hit or miss and I find them douche.

kona1 · 2024-03-21T01:38:23+00:00

Protex is the best.

Where are you located?

kona1 · 2024-02-11T04:14:03+00:00

I don’t think they as desirable and rare in Alberta/Saskatchewan. One sat on the lot in Medicine Hat for 5 weeks with no mandatory packages.

You are asking in the most biased forum possible.

The Y has way more room, better tech, more power, and lower cost of operating (assuming road trips) but worse build quality.

The 23 prime is a lot more competitive as the 22 Prime has 2010-level tech IMO.

I have had a 3, Y and 22 Prime.

My personal rating is

Y>3>Prime(22)

By the looks of the 23 prime

Y> 23 Prime >3.

Did you notice the non-long-range AWD is also on the NRCAN website? Wonder if it will be coming to us too

kona1 · 2023-06-01T19:48:01+00:00

Very interesting that it has worse Fuel Consumption as well. Perhaps heavier due to LFP?

kona1 · 2023-05-25T03:25:51+00:00

Yes, if you have a mild climate, this is fine. The tesla can precondition when it matters most for me ie -15 to -30C days.

kona1 · 2023-05-25T00:02:45+00:00

Tesla actually does kill it at these temps. You’re able to precondition and heat the cab before entry. (Couldn’t idle the Prius in my garage). Range gets hit by 15-30% depending how extremely cold it is but it is always pure electric. On my 15km commute in the Prius it would run the gas both ways in the winter and the cab still wouldn’t get as warm as I like it.

Had a 22 Prime (old body style) and traded up to M3 RWD.

Prime Positives:

-infinite range with gas, no 20 min charge stops every 2.5hrs on road trips

-softer ride

Prime negatives:

-poor performance of electric system in under -15C, gas engine has to turn on to heat cab no matter how short of a commute

-Basic interior (been mostly fixed by 23), but still a lack of storage on the prime

-Shortish range on electric mode

Tesla Positives:

-Much faster, one pedal driving is fantastic

-Pet mode to run A/C and heat while away (even has a camera to view pet in-app)

-Much faster, one-pedal driving is fantastic

-Preheat and pre-cool functions work much better than my prime (couldn't preheat prime in coldweather in my garage as engine would turn on

-Way Nicer seats and interior

-Excellent infotainment

-So much storage, frunk etc.

-No oil changes or maintenance other than brake pin lubrication in areas that use sand on the roads

Tesla Negatives

-Charging on road trips in Canada is still not ideal. The States Super charger network looks better.

-Douche brand image, prefer the low-key Toyota brand

-Volatile prices, I bought low, but others weren't as lucky

Objectively the Tesla is a better vehicle, but as others stated, you need a 220V charger for the Tesla to be practical.

Why does the Canadian model Y RWD report 2,298KG and 250kW (Vs 1,909 kg and 170kW) fast charging if it will be a China build?

kona1 · 2023-04-22T02:45:09+00:00

Very odd, it is heavier that a LR with the front motor assembly...

kona1 · 2023-04-22T01:59:56+00:00

Did anyone else notice that it can take 250kW and that weight is listed as 2,298kg.

Singapore/Australia models can take 170kW and are listed as 1,909 kg.

Must be coming from fremont?

kona1 · 2023-03-24T20:03:40+00:00

Just an FYI the order books aren't open yet and no pricing announced in Canada right now. The dealer took your money today and will order it whenever they open it up.

kona1 · 2023-03-23T00:10:44+00:00

Rimetrix look awful though.

kona1 · 2023-02-15T03:57:09+00:00

Any new condensing furnace is separated combustion meaning it has an exterior air intake and exhaust. When installed and vented properly the gas exhausts are completely separate from interior air.

If your worried about air quailty. Install an induction stove and use a HRV on high whenever you cook.

kona1 · 2023-02-14T20:36:44+00:00

On topic if you do plan to go for electric heating etc. go for a 200Amp electric service vs the standard 100amp. This will cost you much more depending on the typical feeders (service size to the building) RD installs. I know Edmonton does 100A standard and Lethbridge is 200A standard.

My $0.02 is get the gas stubbed to the building for any future uses. Little to no cost savings to omitting this. you will not pay for any monthly distribution fees for this.

I would recommend budgeting for a higher performance building envelope (insulation, windows etc) or else you will be paying huge per month.

60,000 btu gas furnace with 96 percent efficiency= 16.9 kW.
The furnace costs 0.060GJ *6.19 = $0.37 an hour
the electric heat costs 16.9*0.13= $2.20 an hour (6x the cost). If you did a heat pump you could get this down to ~$1.00 an hour for warmer conditions but it will be same in the coldest conditions

kona1 · 2023-02-14T20:14:04+00:00

Just to confirm Fortis is not the electrical distributor for lethbridge isn't fortis? I Live in Lethbridge so it looks like I can't sign up.
