Canada's luxury tax not applicable to Cybertruck

[j4ypal]

I have not seen this discussed here and found out about this today.

Canada's luxury tax does not apply to vehicles with GVWR above 8,500 pounds (3,856 kg):
https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-ag...hicles-under-select-luxury-items-tax-act.html

3,856 kg = 8,501 pounds.

According to EPA filings, the CT has a GVWR of 9,169 pounds in both Dual and Tri-Motor variants.

Since the CT is above that GVWR, it appears to be exempt.

I guess we'll have to confirm once the vehicle crosses our border but unless I'm missing something it appears we're good on that front.

We still don't know the official price in Canada but that's a few thousand dollars saved, especially if you wish to add FSD (16k $CDN current price).

Using Tesla's conversion rates for other vehicles, Dual-Motor before FSD and other options is approximately 110,000 $CDN.

The weights listed on tesla's website are:
Dual motor: 6,603 pounds (2,995 kg)
Cyberbeast: 6,843 pounds (3,104 kg)

These are curb weights, not GVWR.

The luxury tax rule uses GVWR (Gross vehicle weight rating) to determine if the exemption applies (not curb weight).

According to these EPA filings, the curb weights and GVWR are as follows:
CT Dual Motor EPA filing
CT Beast EPA filing

• CT Dual Motor:
  • Curb Weight: 6669 pounds
  • GVWR: 9169 pounds
• CT Beast:
  • Curb Weight: 6898 pounds
  • GVWR: 9169 pounds

Note: Not sure why the EPA filings have 55 and 66 pounds discrepancies with Tesla's website though.

Yep. 9,169 lbs GVWR with AT tires for both trims according to EPA filings (see links above) and also according to the CT owner's manual (see this post):

That would be huuuge. Not sure why no Cdn pricing since they have had 1 in the Langley, BC showroom for over a month. Nice advertising, come see our truck but no price..I am a 1 month after day 1 listing.
