Tesla extends test drive invitations for a 48-hour period, though access in Canada is markedly scarce
In recent news, Tesla has been sending out invitations for a 48-hour test drive program in Canada and the United States. However, the availability of this program in Canada seems to be a topic of confusion.
Tesla typically offers demo drives at local showrooms, where customers can schedule a test drive of their vehicles. The 48-hour demo drive program is not yet available for booking at local Tesla showrooms in all Canadian provinces, including British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec.
There appears to be a disconnect between Tesla HQ and local showrooms regarding the availability of the 48-hour demo drive program in Canada. While some showrooms are offering overnight demo drives instead of the 48-hour program due to concerns about "giving away cars for 2 days," others have told customers that the program isn't currently available, despite notifications being sent out.
The Canadian demo drive booking option may become available on the website in the future, but as of now, customers in Canada cannot book a 48-hour demo drive directly from the Tesla website, unlike their counterparts in the U.S.
It's worth noting that this is the first time Tesla is offering extended multi-day demo drives for all of its models, including the Cybertruck, Model S, Model 3, Model X, and Model Y. However, the reasons for the limited availability of the 48-hour demo drive program in certain locations in Canada are not specified.
Given the current situation, it is recommended to consult Tesla's official website or directly contact local Tesla stores in Canada to get current availability and booking procedures for extended demo drives. If you need assistance finding official Tesla pages or contact details for showrooms in your area, feel free to ask.
At present, it is unclear if customers in Canada have been able to secure a 48-hour demo drive. The article does not mention if the disconnect between Tesla HQ and local showrooms regarding the availability of the 48-hour demo drive program in Canada has been resolved.
