I just priced out a base Model 3. No options whatsoever. The price—including Federal, State, and utility subsidies—is $34,185.

I included sales tax. Without that it's still $30,630, but I don't think it's fair to include government subsidies but exclude government taxes when determining the effective cost of the car.

Here's the breakdown:

    Vehicle Price       $38,990 
    Destination Fee       1,390 
    Order Fee               250 
    Sales Tax             3,555 
    Federal Tax Credit   (7,500)
    Calif Tax Credit     (2,000)
    Utility Rebate         (500)
                       —————————
                        $34,185

Canadian prices are similar, but looks like the rebate is significantly different:

Prices range $53k - $65k CAD (prior to any fees / taxes etc), which would make the cheapest one 38k, in line with price you indicated.

Our incentive though is "up to $5k CAD" which is up to ~3,600USD rebate.
