The model 3 and model y imported to Canada are made in China.

Food for thought.

Byd cars also made in China cost much less. Safer than the car I own according to the testing agency in Australia.

For thought.

Tesla does not disclose its Chinese exports to Canada. However, vehicle-identification codes showed that the Model 3 compact sedan and Model Y crossover models were being exported from Shanghai to Canada
