Tesla Prepares to Sell US-Built Model 3 in Canada Again, Range Jumps to 584 km

Tesla appears poised to reintroduce a US-built Model 3 in Canada, as its website now lists the Model 3 Premium Rear-Wheel Drive with 584 km of range and a 0-100 km/h time of 5.2 seconds. These specifications match the Fremont, California-built Long Range RWD that Tesla sold in Canada two years ago. In contrast, the Shanghai-built Model 3 RWD, priced at $39,490 CAD and unavailable for order since early October, offers 463 km of range and a 6.2-second 0-100 km/h time. The updated figures strongly suggest Tesla is shifting Canadian Model 3 supply from its Shanghai Gigafactory to its Fremont factory. This move could affect pricing, eligibility for Canadian federal EV rebates, and delivery timelines. For Canadian buyers, the return of a US-built Model 3 with significantly more range may reshape the competitive landscape. Tesla has not yet confirmed the change, but the website update signals a strategic shift in its North American supply chain.
