    Snow clearing mode???

    Interesting! I don't even have a brush in my car. I always heat up the car in a snowy day and let the snow melt away before going to the parking lot. If there is a lot of snow, the wipes can help to clear it out as soon as it is defrosted.

    No more TOU electricity in ON! Charge whenever you want

    It all depends on house big is your house and how many people are living in a household since 1000kwh was assigned per address. My average usage is 1500 - 1600 kwh/ month Nothing stops you from switching but it would make more sense to have tiered during winter (1000 kwh cap) and TOU during...

    No more TOU electricity in ON! Charge whenever you want

    I would pay less with TOU, so I can't wait to go back to TOU on Nov 1. With all the laundry and dishwashing done during the day, my monthly TOU cost is still less then monthly cost using covid fix rate. If I done those housework @ off peak hours, I am sure the saving will be a lot more.

    Tesla Garage Door Opener

    It was built in my X and it worked very well. I can select the door close and open when the car is couple of metres away from the garage door.

    FSD Upgrade Price Decrease (EAP Owners)

    I've seen the price went below $3K (couldn't remember $2.5 or $2.7K) but I didn't bother. Thus, mot just for cheap, may be at a lost too because - The cost of having a team to update the software for HW 2.5 (remember I can't have FSD, but suppose to get all the other updates) - What is the...

    No car or voucher when car in for service!

    The sale person at a store just passed a general information to you. You may need to talk to a service centre manager where you plan to have all service done to work out a deal (if it exists). But if I was you, I wouldn't buy a Tesla. It is not convenience for you and for Tesla to service your...

    am I making a mistake

    I think it was advertised as 385km. The 5km may be from the recent software upgrade. My 2018 X used to show 475km @ 100% but now it is 450km @ 100%. The real range totally depends on the weather.

    Tesla recommends cleaning and lubricating all brake calipers every 12 months or 20,000 km

    I think it is a Tesla standard rate. I have just paid the same amount in Mississauga. I was charged full price $112 for the winter tire swap because they were 2 different operations (???) I told the guy that he would need to take the tire off to do break service anyway but he refused to give...

    Ontario Insurance Discussion

    $1.5K for X100D for 1 driver/ car with $1M coverage included accident forgiveness, full replacement, grand tour solution, $250 - $500 deductible and various discounts. I found it was cheaper to have 2 separate policies for 2 cars w/ 2 drivers.

    Most tempting feature with the model update

    2nd row seats can move for more or less leg room @ 3rd row but cant recline nor fold flat. I heard the 1st gen of model X can be fold flat but then they changed the design.

    Mississauga Service

    Great service! They always score 10/10 when servicing me. They even noted my specific request for a loaner and accommodated it. I will miss them when the new service centre @ Woodbridge opens

    Eaton Center in Toronto is getting a Tesla Showroom

    But people who shop there either 1. Can't afford a Tesla or 2. Able to afford a Tesla but won't buy 1 because they live/ work downtown, can't justify spending $$$ for the car to be parked most of the time & TTC is more convenient.

    Supercharger - Vaughan, ON

    Why would they want to install superchargers for just the store/ service centre to use? Would the destination chargers be more appropriate?

    Supercharger - Vaughan, ON

    Weird! There will be 3 SCs within 6km along hwy 400 @ Hwy 7, Rutherford and Major Mac. I would prefer that Tesla spends money to extend the network to the east or north.

    Who has lost regen with winter tires?

    I have tested my X over the weekend and this is what I found out: The setting show Standard Regen but the "actual" regen was Low. It might be a system glitch after the software updated. I switched my setting to Low, left it overnight and switched back to Standard the next morning, the regen was...

    Who has lost regen with winter tires?

    This is dangerous. It sounds like we have a problem that Tesla or at least their technicians are not aware of. I drive an X with the original tires and I lost regen after the recent update, not completely lose it but significant enough that I now have to use brake. I used to drive my X without...

    Dash Cam captures road rage from Model 3

    I got a similar problem with a truck driver when driving in US. I slowed down and then followed another vehicle to pass that crazy driver. If I was not on vacation, I would stop and call police.

    Unexpected consequences of model 3 ownership...

    No. This will never happen to me. Before ordering my Tesla, I installed keyless locks for all my doors. Garage doors also had smart features and security camera. If you can spend $$$$ on a car, you should be able to spend $ on a lock. The only problem that I have is my phone. I still try to...

    Unpopular Opinion: I love the bottom-half UI in V9

    Yeah, I am kind of misuse the side-mirrors. I use the camera and look over my shoulder to check blind spots. I look at the the side mirrors frequently (see vehicle coming) but to make sure I am in the center of the lane, lol.

    With 7 passengers in the X, rear mirror is useless. You will see nothing but heads in the rear mirror.

    Unpopular Opinion: I love the bottom-half UI in V9

    I normally dont hit those buttons until you brought it up.I guess you will see a lot more dislike after this post. 90% of the time I use the vehicle for daily commute and I don't need a map. I used to have the camera on the top and music at the bottom. I worked well for me. My quick fix now is...

    Ontario EVIP rebates update

    The program itself was "temporary" under the previous government, so I think they hired contract/ temporary staffs to review applications and send payment requests to MOF. The new government almost "shut down" everything including hiring externally while they are reviewing the books. Thus, we...

    Vancouver Delivery; the dark and dirty

    If you didn't get a chance to inspect your car before accepting it, you can do it when you get home. Spending all the time that you need and make a list of deficiencies then you call Tesla service centre to book an appointment and let they fix it. I found the service centre staffs are very nice...

    Best car insurance deal for model X in Quebec

    I recommend you to have 2 separate policies if your kids are not allowed to drive Tesla. I have 1 policy for Tesla with my name as driver and 2nd policy for another vehicle with my husband as the principal driver and other occasional drives. It's definitely cheaper than 1 policy which each...

    Ontario EV Rebates Cancelled July 11, 2018

    I guess Tesla shouldn't refund the deposit at all. They are doing a favour to who requested a $4200 refund (your deposit after ordering is non-refundable, remember?) and now people complain about the waiting time. When Tesla refunded my $1000, they said it might take up to 1 month but the...

    I am on APP plan and paying $0.02/kwh between 12 to 6am. After adding taxes and delivery, I think the total cost is still below $0.065. I didn't use supercharger a lot because of battery degraded but technically I can pay $0 for charging my vehicle as long as I owe it.

    Not sure why you are expecting a refund from Tesla? AWD has never been on the incentive list and no one should expect $14,000 rebate for AWD. The cancellation of Ontario rebate only affects RWD order. I think Tesla will only offer for those who ordered RWD.

    I think you may misunderstand about the "use the deposit for another purchase".

If you configure your car and...

    My experience with Model 3 Autopilot so far.

    Here are some more tips for you: - Only use autopilot on freeway or highway where you follow another vehicle (so it stops at intersection or traffic light when the other car stops or slow down) - Autopilot will work the best if your vehicle is between cars (better and safer than next to barrier...

    Phantom battery discharge.

    Tesla Service is Sub-optimal

    In my previous post, I meant when you were at BMW/ Porches dealership for service, you would likely get a rental vehicle (not the same brand BWM or Porches as your own vehicle) Btw, my experience with Tesla SC was good so far. They came to my house to pick up my vehicle (and drop off a Tesla...

    Tesla Service is Sub-optimal

    Just curious to know if you would get a BMW loaner or Porsche loaner every time your vehicle was in service??? My experience said no. In most case you will get a rental vehicle.

    How do I get to the I. Centre from Pearson A/p.

    Who told you it was a short distance? Bird path is at least 3km and road path is about double (b/c of loop ramp). It is an airport, not a bus stop. Even if you see the airport from the int centre, it doesn't mean that walking from your terminal to the int centre is close.

    All cars at the International Centre will have the Front License Affixed

    I think it's all about quicker delivery. They used to have the front license in frunk and then ask the owner on spot if they want it to be installed or not. If yes, it takes a technician 10-15 min to put it on. If no, the owner signs a form and take the plate.
