Tesla's request to the Canadian government for lower tariffs on vehicles imported from Giga Shanghai reflects its ongoing efforts to mitigate rising costs attributed to new duties on Chinese EVs.
Canada’s announced 100% tariffs on electric vehicles from China take effect October 1, 2024, creating a potential barrier for Tesla’s Model 3 and Model Y imports.
Despite Tesla's request for a tariff rate akin to what it secured from the EU, Canada's Finance Minister openly declined to comment on any discussions with Tesla.
Tesla’s recent success in negotiating lower tariffs in Europe boosts its case for Canada, as it previously managed to reduce import duties from 20.8% to just 9%.
