    Regenerative braking on icy roads need to turn off

    As others mentioned re-gen adjusts constantly depending on surface condition. Basically it always re-gens unless it slips in which case depending on level of spin it will either reduce re-gen OR stop it completely. Only annoying thing is you need to "guess" if the car is going to regen or not...

    Recent trade-in experience with a non-Tesla vehicle?

    They will basically offer you whatever the value of the car is at wholesale. It's pretty standard at all the dealerships.

    Delivery tires

    You picking it up today in snowstorm? Same thing happened to me last year. Pretty sure it will come with all season tires. They will tell you re-schedule your delivery if you don't feel comfortable driving in the snow. And they will make you sign a waver to say you accept to be driving in...

    Model Y long range: Cold battery performance

    This doesn't pertain to road trips but around town driving in snow / ice / slush I've noticed that: - the battery re-gen is not as effective in snow and slippery conditions. Going from light to light if the wheels lock slightly during re-gen, traction control kicks in and stops the re-gen...

    Insurance and track use

    Well what difference does it make if you confirm or not? If you are not covered on track, you are not covered on track end of story. Not sure what your confirmation of "I will not track the car" change really for the insurance company.

    OP is not asking how to secure vehicle... OP is asking what to do in case of theft. Has anyone had their tesla stolen? Can it be stolen? No matter this is what you do in case it is stolen

    What do you do if your Tesla is stolen?

    Jump in your other car and track your tesla with the app and go after your car. Call police on speaker and tell them the location.

    Considering switching from Audi SQ5 to Model Y

    Not to mention the 3.0T (in the SQ5) will eventually need timing chain done depending on mileage. Mine in the A6 was starting to make loud noises on startup at about 140K KM and was drinking about a quart of oil every 2 weeks. Although you might no keep the car for that long... The fit and...

    Considering switching from Audi SQ5 to Model Y

    @rBajwa yes QC rebate is for 60k. Picked up Y single short range. Def sucks that Ontario phases out rebate. I might not have bought the y without rebate.

    Considering switching from Audi SQ5 to Model Y

    I was looking at exact same 2 cars. The 8K Quebec new electric vehicle rebait helped with the decision. So far I'm really enjoying the little silly things -Every second car here is a Q5 so glad didn't get one. -Kids love the glass roof and karaoke -I love not going to gas stations and insurance...

    Tesla service, what a joke!! Extremely frustrated.

    I have come to accept bad service. I think if tesla could sell these out of a vending machine, they would. I have not really bought a car... It's more like an Iphone with a steering wheel so not expecting the usual "car dealership service". The faster you come to terms with that the easier it...
