17 h. ago Here's how many Tesla Cybertrucks were sold in Canada before massive recall

Transport Canada finally acknowledged the Tesla Cybertuck recall, and through it, we've learned that Elon Musk's boxy truck hasn't sold that well in Canada.The recall notice mentions that 1,995 Cybertrucks have been affected, so there is a slim chance that Tesla has sold six more to get over the 2,000 unit hump since the end of February when this recall was first issued. Tesla's website says that all trucks manufactured between Nov 13, 2024, and Feb 27, 2025, are part of the recall.In case you missed it, the American auto company needed to recall all the Cybertrucks because it glued on portions of the metal trim. The glue was failing, resulting in the trim coming off. Tesla is replacing the glue with a stronger adhesive and a couple of screws, so the problem is easily fixable.In the U.S., Tesla recalled 46,000 Cybertrucks, so it does appear to be selling better down south. In Canada, it costs $114,000 or more, depending on the trim options.In other Tesla news,&nb...

Despite a small surge just before the official start of spring, bidding activity on homes in the GTA largely seized up in March thanks to the ongoing trade war between Canada and the U.S. These economic and political uncertainties have convinced many prospective buyers to put their dreams of homeownership on hold, and as a result, homes in certain areas of the GTA are seeing bids well below their listing prices. A recent analysis by the digital real estate platform Wahi compared the differences between list and sold prices in roughly 400 neighbourhoods across the GTA. At the end of each month, the platform compares the differences between median list and sold prices to determine whether neighbourhoods are in overbidding or underbidding territory. Source: Wahi.Data was sourced from Information Technology Systems Ontario (ITSO) and the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB).According to the report, approximately 20 per cent of GTA neighbourhoods with at le...
