- The first Tesla Cybertrucks have been delivered in Canada after orders opened in August.
- There is no longer a backlog of Cybertruck orders in the U.S. and this should allow for speedier deliveries.
- The estimated delivery is in November or December and only the Foundation Series is currently available in Canada.
With the high number of Tesla Cybertruck sightings from Canada popping up online, it can only mean one thing: Tesla has officially kicked off deliveries up north. In Canada, the Cybertruck currently costs $137,990 CAD in dual-motor guise or $165,990 for the tri-motor Cyberbeast. There’s an additional $2,750 CAD destination fee that you need to add on top of that.
Only the Foundation Series is currently available in Canada, but it’s been dropped in the U.S. making it $20,000 cheaper, we anticipate that Canada will soon follow suit and allow you to order a more affordable non-Foundation Series truck. Don't expect an even lower price, though, as the $61,000 single-motor rear-wheel-drive model is likely no longer in the cards.
The Cybertruck order books in Canada were opened in August. However, regardless of when you placed your order, you shouldn't have to wait months for a Cybertruck's delivery—your truck should arrive within a few weeks now that the backlog of orders in the U.S. has cleared. The Canadian version of the Tesla website estimates delivery in either November or December.
The delivery schedule is for the Foundation Series, and Tesla is able to deliver these trucks so quickly because it’s probably already shipped them over to Canada. You may have to wait longer for a non-Foundation Series truck to become available in Canada.
If you want the Range Extender (which is just an extra battery, not an actual generator that uses fuel to add miles), it will set you back CAD 22,000. It increases the dual-motor truck’s range from 512 kilometers (337 miles) to over 755 km (445 miles), but its production has been pushed back to the middle of 2025.
Making the Cybertruck legal for Canadian roads required an exemption since the country currently prohibits vehicles with steer-by-wire on its public roads. Apparently, the issue was that the steering wheels of vehicles registered in Canada needed to turn 270 degrees for them to be legal, and the Cybertruck’s didn’t. Interestingly, the exemption remains in place only until 2029, so these trucks could become illegal to drive in a few years unless the law changes in the meantime.
While the exemption is in place, Tesla will have to supply Transport Canada with regular incident reports about the steer-by-wire system as well as the intervention of the truck’s electronic stability control. The manufacturer is limiting Cybertruck sales to North America this year, but starting in 2025 it wants to expand sales elsewhere, especially in Europe, where grey imports are already underway. It's not yet clear whether the Cybertruck is legal for European roads and whether it will ever officially go on sale on the continent without serious changes.
