<div id="readability-page-1"><div> <p>Tesla is pushing back delivery timelines for Model Y buyers in Canada, with some customers seeing their estimated delivery windows slip by several months into the late spring or summer.</p> <p>After launching Model Y Performance orders in Canada late last year, Tesla initially suggested the top-of-the-line variants would begin arriving from Giga Berlin in March 2026. As the weeks progressed, early buyers were shown delivery windows as soon as February, creating optimism that the top-trim electric SUV would arrive earlier than anticipated.</p> <p>That optimism is now fading. Over the last few days multiple Canadian customers have reached out to <em>Drive Tesla</em> to report their delivery windows have been pushed deep into late spring and even summer, with some now being told to expect their vehicles as late as July.</p> <p>One of our readers in Edmonton, who ordered a Quicksilver Model Y Performance with a white interior, saw their delivery window shift from between March 11-March 31 all the way to as late as July 16. Another buyer in Vancouver says their delivery date was also pushed from February–April to May–July.</p> <div> <figure><img height="954" src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://i0.wp.com/driveteslacanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/performance-delay.png/query-cmVzaXplPTk3NSw5NTQmc3NsPTE?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="975" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://i0.wp.com/driveteslacanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/performance-delay.png/query-cmVzaXplPTk3NSw5NTQmc3NsPTE"/></figure></div> <p>Yet another customer says Tesla moved their estimated delivery from March 11–31 to May 21–July 16, while a separate customer who Tesla says was the first to place their order in Canada now shows a window of May 18–July 13 after previously displaying February–March.</p> <figure> <figure><img height="932" src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://i0.wp.com/driveteslacanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/performance-early-1.png/query-cmVzaXplPTk0Myw5MzImc3NsPTE?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="943" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://i0.wp.com/driveteslacanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/performance-early-1.png/query-cmVzaXplPTk0Myw5MzImc3NsPTE"/></figure> <figure><img height="939" src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://i0.wp.com/driveteslacanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/performance-late.png/query-cmVzaXplPTk0NCw5Mzkmc3NsPTE?x-oss-process=image/auto-orient,1/interlace,1/resize,w_1440,h_1440/quality,q_95/format,jpg" width="944" original-src="https://imageproxy.pbkrs.com/https://i0.wp.com/driveteslacanada.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/performance-late.png/query-cmVzaXplPTk0NCw5Mzkmc3NsPTE"/></figure> </figure> <p>The growing number of reports suggests the delays are not isolated, but part of a broader delay in Model Y Performance deliveries for Canada.</p> <p>While Tesla has not publicly explained the cause, the delay likely reflects a combination of production prioritization and supply chain logistics. After being faced with 25% tariffs for U.S.-built cars, Tesla switched from importing the Model Y from south of the border to Germany, allowing the company to lower the price of the electric SUV by $20,000. But it also meant resetting production queues, re-certifying configurations, and competing with European demand for limited Performance builds.</p> <p>At the same time, international shipping adds weeks of transit time and introduces additional bottlenecks around homologation, port processing, and inland transport, all of which compound even small production delays into major delivery slips by the time vehicles reach customers in Toronto, Vancouver, and other Canadian cities.</p> <p>Tesla’s website continues to show optimistic delivery estimates for new orders of between March and April 2026, but as existing customers are discovering, those timelines are clearly not accurate.</p> <p>This situation mirrors what happened with the Model 3 Performance last year, when Canadian customers saw delivery dates slide by months due to production and certification timelines at Giga Shanghai. </p> <p>Do you have a Model Y Performance order in Canada?

<p>Tesla has delayed the delivery timelines for Model Y Performance vehicles in Canada, with some customers now facing waits until late spring or summer. Initially expected in March 2026, delivery windows have shifted significantly, with reports of delays extending to July. The delays are attributed to production prioritization and supply chain issues, including the transition from U.S. to German production. Despite optimistic estimates on Tesla's website, existing customers are experiencing significant delays similar to those seen with the Model 3 Performance last year.</p>
