I just got my X-Ice installed at Costco Nanaimo on Wednesday. They had no issues installing them nor did they give me any flak about speed ratings etc. I specifically asked in advance if they were comfortable installing winter tires on a Model 3 and they said they have the lift adapters and they...

I presume it’s traffic related. But in future it would be great to have one in Port Alberni for the Tofino trip and Courtenay area too. One can hope. I guess a CCS adapter would also help...

I’m grumpy about this too but I don’t blame Tesla (other than their lack of communication) since this seems to be a BC legal issue. And at the end of the day I still have an amazing electric car. If I had been able to use 7500 km of supercharger credits I figure it would have saved about $150...

I charged today and was billed for it; I just talked with chat and the rep said he'd dealt with several people about this already and they were looking into it; he figured it was a glitch and apologized. I sent an email too.

Yes. I just checked the app and mine don’t show up. I have used them a couple of times in the last two weeks so I know they were definitely there and working. I am planning to visit the local supercharger later today and I’ll see if I get charged or not. Then I will inquire/complain with Tesla...

For now, yeah, we're all in the same price boat. But I know someone who consults for BC Hydro and I asked them last week if they are considering time of use pricing at all given the rise in electric cars; they said they'd heard talk of it as a possibility. I also saw this on the BC Hydro...

I can just go by what the DA told me on the phone - obviously I'm not an employee, so can only go by what I heard. This DA was in Las Vegas too. I had no issues with my 1K cheque.

You can bring a personal cheque if the amount owing is under $10,000. I did and had no problems at all (just $1000 owing after my financing went through).

This really varies. I didn't have my MVPA show up online until after I'd driven the car home! It is definitely possible to get your delivery call before this has all updated on the website.

I just got the car yesterday and picked up the same package as you (though pleasure use, which takes it down to $920). Postal code V9S The agent told me specifically that Model 3 50 is the SR+ version, so I can confirm this too.

I wouldn't go by VIN necessarily. My Vin is in the 395 range and apparently I have HW 3 (that's what I've been told by more knowledgeable members going by the software version installed). Remember they are making 7000 Model 3s a day, so 395 and 398 and 401 might be all on the same day of production.

I don’t think anyone knows yet for the SR+. I believe for people who get it included (LR etc) they have a free year then can subscribe for $100 a year. I’d pay that in a heartbeat if they offer it to us.

Streaming music and internet was too good to be true. I left the car for 30 min and when I came back it was gone. Oh well, I thought that might happen.

Thanks for the info. Happy to have HW3 after all, though I wouldn’t have been too grumpy if I didn’t get it. As I said I didn’t get an MVPA on my online account and had to look at it in the store on signing. It had the same information as I posted. They said the document would be available on...

This is on my account and is what I paid on delivery.

sorry I meant the luxury tax. I paid pst and gst like everyone else. I was wondering about the HW version. I didn’t order FSD and I wasn’t sure what software version means what. Are you sure it’s HW3?

I never had the full Purchase Agreement online for some reason. But I saw 12% for ages and then it changed to 13% yesterday and then 12% again this morning and stayed that way through the payment at the store. Had $1000 Payment due (finances the rest) and I paid with personal cheque.

I’m just on the drive home (ferry lineup) with my new SR+ (black, black, 18” aero). The fourth avenue process was pretty good - there were quite a few people there but it was orderly and well laid out. Lots of lounge space to wait and then I did my documents and insurance in the front area where...

I'm picking up my black/black/aero SR+ today at 1pm; I'll report back on my experience. Hopefully as a Monday it won't be as busy as a weekend. I will be taking my inspection checklist, though I've already decided there would have to be a pretty serious issue for me to reject.

A couple of notes from my conversation with the very helpful delivery person in Las Vegas. First all deliveries will be on 4th now. Since I’m scheduled for Monday I definitely go there instead of Powell, which is still listed on my account. Second she said that I could take a blank personal...

I have not received the text and my appointment is for Monday. I’m going to email my DA and double check. 4th is better for me, closer to work.

I'm curious about why having HW2.5 or 3 in the car when you receive it is a concern. Isn't it only going to be important if/when you pay for FSD? And at that point the cost of the upgrade to 3 will be covered anyway. If having HW3 doesn't provide any improvements to autopilot etc, then I'm not...

Actually it's slowed during the last week and is now under $300K per day, so this current batch may last until June 13th or so. But of course, they still have money, yes, so they should put another 10M in the fund around about then. I wouldn't worry too much about the BC rebate.

Yeah, mine was half that, though I didn't quote on Replacement Cost Plus.

When I got my tentative delivery date, it didn't change until I asked them to push it a couple of days because of a schedule conflict. They were going to try to have it ready in Vancouver on the exact day and time I'd had in my account for two weeks (exactly 4 weeks from order day of May 3)...

Just a quick update on my order - I got a call this morning from a Tesla rep in Las Vegas to confirm that my car is now in Seattle and heading to Vancouver shortly and that they would try to fulfil my original delivery date and time of Friday May 31st at 3pm, though they couldn't guarantee it...

I would recommend not going by the posted date and relying on the phone call; all the info I've got here and from talking with Tesla on the phone is that until you actually get the call from the local delivery people, nothing is set in stone, and it wouldn't make sense to show up based on the...

In my letter they asked if I was getting new plates or not, so I assume the letter above is actually tailored also to the replies that hiener put in his/her Tesla account when they ordered the car.

I got exactly the same email (different agent, but same text) this morning. Only difference is my delivery date has always been May 31st and in the email where hiener got "in the next 2 weeks" mine said "June delivery". I did ask about the delivery time and he replied fairly quickly (within an...

Just got my first Delivery Advisor email from Tesla Toronto for my Vancouver delivery. They are drawing on other Tesla employees in Canada to help with the crush in Vancouver, which will hopefully improve service (not counting on it, though!). Consistently my emails from Tesla have been...

It's an estimate. The car could be delayed at the border, or in transit, or at the delivery location, so they can't give a firm date until it actually reaches the delivery destination. They've told people to take it with a grain of salt until they get a phone call - at that point the car will...

There’s a retailer in California that sells all sorts of adapters and ships to Canada. EVSEadapters.com electrical adapters for Tesla drivers, welders, RVs I ordered one from them and then had to cancel because I’m making a garage upgrade and they had good customer service and a no hassle...

Yes they are. I emailed the manufacture directly and they said they were almost completely sold out, with new stock coming in July. There may be a few left on partsengine, but you have to plug in 2018 Model 3 as they don’t have 2019 in their system yet. Same car of course.

It’s not just money making but also capacity. The SR+ is selling like hotcakes and demand is high, which leads to a longer wait time. Given Wall Street and the last quarter Tesla is highly motivated to deliver cars. I’ve called the 1-888 number a few times to check in on my order and they’ve...

I got the Tesla roof rack (it’s been hiding in the basement for a couple of weeks) and am just trying to decide what box to get. Canadian Tire has surprisingly good pricing on the Yakima boxes and I’m leaning towards the Skybox 16. Probably more for camping than skiing. We are moving from a...

No, I’ve blown my budget on a roof rack and cargo box and to be honest I’m not that worried about paint chips and minor dings etc. Our current car I only wash a few times a year so just taking regular care of the M3 will be a big step up for me...

Same here! I'm still at a delivery date on the 31st of May and wondering if I should reserve the ferry back since it's a Friday. I look forward to seeing more Model 3s locally very soon.

The The Scrap-it program is a nice idea, but almost useless in practice. Before May 1st I contacted a few EV dealers who had vouchers left and they had allocated them only to the most expensive models of the EVs they carried, plus often when the Scrap It site said there was a voucher a direct...

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was 80% or higher. A look on autotrader shows there are almost no EVs available in the province other than a large number of Chevy Bolts, which either are in great supply and selling well, or dealers can’t move them.

I ordered May 3 and have never heard from a DA but I’ve got a delivery date now and I called in and found out I have a VIN assigned though it’s not on my page yet. The DA system seems to be a bit inconsistent.

I've just been phoning the general Tesla number and clicking through to delivery: (888) 518-3752

Ordered 5/3 just called them to see what's up and they said I have a VIN assigned but the vehicle is still in the US; the VIN should appear when it crosses the border. They told me my tentative delivery date of May 31st should still be fairly accurate, and to expect a call next week. I will try...

3rd and same config and I have heard nothing too. Seems to be a bit of randomness...

I think that the $1M that went so fast was some pent-up demand from when the fund was down for a day, and we’re tracking closer to half that rate on average. I’d guess at 14-18 days for the rest of the $10M, then if they continue to put in $10M at a time, there are three more inputs, for a total...

Remember there was a day when the fund was empty. So the last day or so of reservations probably accounts for 2 days of sales. Still, it is going very fast... would be nice if Tesla reserved earlier like the other dealers.

What model did he order?

I think someone said something upthread about dealers booking the rebates when they take a reservation. If that’s the case there’s going to be a big backlog of Konas and Leafs and Souls etc. Some of those reservations might get abandoned if the time limit passes. I know Kia / Hyundai are having...

It's averaging $430K per day, so 23 days if this stays the same. That takes us to June 8 or so.

It's pretty clear in the text "We have been advised by government not to expect a gap in funding and anticipate further funds to be added shortly, as committed in the BC Provincial Budget 2019." I would be surprised if the fund isn't topped up within a few days time.
