Tesla Model 3
Deliveries have started in 2018, and the Model 3 keeps generating plenty of interest in Canada. Finally, Tesla offers a more compact and especially a more affordable electric sedan (starting at $45,600). Standard range is announced at 354 kilometres, and you can extend that to 499 kilometres by selecting the larger battery. A gigantic 15-inch touchscreen is included in every Model 3, but don't miss driver-friendly options like all-wheel drive and enhanced Autopilot.
