Tesla appears to be preparing to sell US-built Model 3s in Canada again
Tesla Canada has updated the Model 3 Premium Rear-Wheel Drive on its website with 584 km of range and a 0-100 km/h time of 5.2 seconds. Those are the exact specs of the Fremont-built Long Range RWD that Tesla sold in Canada two years ago.
The Shanghai-built version, the $39,490 CAD car Canadians haven’t been able to order since early October, is rated at 463 km and 6.2 seconds. The new numbers point to a different car from a different factory.

Read MoreFrom iPhone Duo to Mac, Craft shows what a native productivity app can do
It’s been a busy fall for Apple. iOS and macOS 27 arrived in September, iPhone Duo went on sale just a few days ago, and more Mac announcements are expected later this week. Between the new software and hardware, there’s plenty for Apple users to explore.
Of all these announcements, the iPhone Duo has arguably attracted the most attention. As the first iPhone with a fundamentally different form factor, it introduces new possibilities for how we use our phones. But new hardware is only part of the story. Just as important is how apps take advantage of it. For an app like Craft, which brings notes, tasks, and documents together in one place, the larger display and new multitasking capabilities open up interesting new ways to work.
Craft is ready for iPhone Duo from day one, with an interface designed to take advantage of its new form factor. And while the Duo is getting much of the attention right now, Craft has also seen a steady stream of improvements across iPhone, iPad, and Mac over the past few months.
And there’s an additional bonus for anyone looking to give Craft a try: 40% off for life with code 9to5Mac40, available through this exclusive 9to5Mac offer.

Read MoreTesla makes another joke of its Robotaxi geofence expansion

It’s a cute nod to Houston’s space history. It’s also a service area drawn for a meme, and Robotaxi Tracker counts only 34 driverless Model Ys to cover it.
