Tesla’s China-made electric vehicles, including the rear-wheel drive Model Y and all-wheel drive Model 3, are now available for customer delivery in Canada for the first time, as confirmed by Reuters reporters who verified the vehicle identification numbers (VINs). According to the report on Tuesday, these vehicles carry VIN codes starting with the letters “LRW,” indicating their production at Tesla’s Shanghai plant. Furthermore, both models qualify for a government rebate of up to C$5,000 ($3,700) in Canada. Tesla has been exporting vehicles from its Shanghai facility, which boasts an annual capacity of 1.1 million cars, to various international markets, including Europe since mid-2021 and Thailand earlier this year.
