I cannot confirm this first hand, but I've heard water cooler stories about Tesla software nerfing the range of their model 3s in Canada. This lowers the base price of vehicle enough to be eligible for a federal subsidy. Once the subsidy is claimed, the owner can buy a software upgrade from the dealer to restore the model 3 to full capability. Pretty sly trick.

The way the subsidy was worded was that if the lowest price of a vehicle was under a threshold then you'd get the subsidy on the other versions, so they created a basically unpurchasable version for that purpose. (I believe you actually have to email the company to purchase it. I doubt there's been even one purchase).
