    Supercharger - Brockville, ON

    I checked it out earlier this week and there was no change.

    Ontario overnight ultra low rate announced

    For sure it is more of a convenience thing except in the heart of winter. Could get away with every other day charging in the winter but I like to use house power to get the cars up to temperature in the mornings and both cars are driven. In the summer we just plug in as needed which is once a...

    Ontario overnight ultra low rate announced

    I am sure you have considered alternatives but just to give you my own experience with the same situation as you. I started with one Tesla and added a second one later. I had a Gen2 Wall connector on 50A breaker and a 6-50 receptacle also on a 50A breaker. Both were fed from sub-panel with 60A...

    Is Tesla Canada changing their loaner policy?

    Two service sessions in Ottawa (Carling) in the past month for my out of warranty X and was offered loaners (model 3) each time. First service was for installing CCS adaptor and second one was to replace failed A/C compressor. The compressor replacement took a long time because the tech broke...

    Anybody try Sailun E-range tires for Model X?

    The Sailun's are installed and I have been driving with them for a few days in a real mixed bag of weather. Lots of rain and fairly cold. Due to the fluctuating weather I don't have enough data to compare efficiencies yet but the rain handling and stoppage has been great. Tested out a low speed...

    Anybody try Sailun E-range tires for Model X?

    I am having these installed on May 1st as well. These will be my summer only tires as the winters on on their own rims. I will see if the efficiency is any better and report back after a couple of weeks (data collected via Teslamate)

    Anybody try Sailun E-range tires for Model X?

    Do you mind sharing which installer gave the $1200 installed price. I just got a quote here in Ottawa for over $1500 for the same tires on my X. I am really interested in trying these tires for the summer season.

    Downtown Montreal hotel bonus feature for Tesla owners!

    I used the valet service in January 2023 for a 2 week south vacation and was pleasantry surprised with them due to all the negative reviews online. We got there in a snowstorm at 5:00 am and saw them turning cars away from the the gate due to lot being full. The attendant came over and asked if...

    PPF and Ceramic Coating

    Ceramic coating is not intended to protect form physical damage. It is a nano coating that binds to the surface. Think of it as a replacement for periodic waxing. Gives the surface a nice deep shine, beads water and the protection from UV damage. It will not help at all with stone chips - that...

    Supercharger - Kemptville Ontario

    I recorded a 252kW charge on my model Y in August right after the station opened so it is capable of full speed charging.

    Canada - FSD rollout

    Update - Finally getting it FSD Beta for the first time on my 2017 Model X!!!! It turns out that the culprit was not having enough AP km in the last 30 days. I thought that I did but my wife has been driving it lately and does not typically use AP. The last road trips have been in the model Y...

    Canada - FSD rollout

    I am not sure if anyone knows this with any certainty but I would assume that it is a sliding 30 day window so the mileage would only be counted for the last 30 days. That is also what is shown in app for the distance driven summary under the safety score.

    Canada - FSD rollout

    Question for long term users about FSD beta on 2-lane highways - is it limited to 10km/h over speed limit like AP or can the speed be set higher when using FSD Beta? For example Highways such as hwy 7 and 17 in Ontario that have 80 km/h and 90 km/h speed limits respectively. I will go try it...

    Canada - FSD rollout

    Yes - finally! Got it on one of our cars: 2022 model Y LR that was on 2022.20.8 with safety score of 96. It showed up this morning for download. Unfortunately I am still waiting for it on 2017 Model X 75D (safety score 97 at 2022.20.9). This car has all the hardware needed including the...

    PPF and Ceramic Coating

    I have stealth PPF full body on my X and had ceramic put on top. In my opinion, there is no addition protection given by the ceramic but it just makes it look nicer. The water beading is so nice in the rain. I was hoping that the road dirt would just spray off using a hose with the ceramic but...

    Supercharger - Kemptville Ontario

    I can confirm Kemptville is working! Charged there twice today on the way to and back from upper New York state.. The nav system did not show the charger either time but I got 252kW max charge speed even without preconditioning this afternoon! (8% SOC) I was really low coming back and the...

    Supercharger - Kemptville Ontario

    It looks all good to go but Hydro One has not energized yet. Meter is in place but display was blank. I think the contractors were correct in that they were ready last week but it is now dependant on Hydro One. Frustrating.

    Supercharger - Kemptville Ontario

    Great news - Kemptville SC will be energized this coming week. Goal is to have it running before July 1st long weekend. Only unknown is final Hydro One dependency but confidence is high. Photos are from early this morning (Saturday) and crews were just arriving to continue work.

    Supercharger - Nepean, ON - Sales Centre

    I was there yesterday picking up my new Model Y and asked about this supercharger. The staff said they have not been told much about it and that it is delayed due to electrical hookups or permits (they were being a bit coy about it). They also said that it would not be open to the public. I am...

    Gen 2 Mobile Connector - Included or Not?

    Was on a pre-delivery online meeting yesterday with about 50+ other new owners. I am taking delivery next week on May 3rd of Model Y LR. This question was asked specifically a couple of times during the call and the answer was not that comforting: The hard cut-off of orders after April 17th NOT...

    hannshow

    Old thread I know but I was going through the same thought process regarding Hansshow. I was going to put in a paypal refund request this week due to having zero confirmation or updates from Hansshow (Model X trunk foot sensor). The part arrived today - 6 weeks less a day from order. They never...

    Canada - FSD rollout

    Not all legacy X & S need cameras so I would expect those to be able to get the FSD Beta. Seems like the manufacture cut-off date is around Aug 2017 for vehicles with compatible cameras (AP 2.5?). Maybe I am just being optimistic

    Ontario License Green Plate Numbers Choices

    I don't know what you mean by good number. Just took what they gave me with a GV prefix. There was no fee as far as I remember. It was a complicated situation for the staff as it was a lease buyout. I think Tesla sent new plates and original ownership to me via Fedex and then I had to go to...

    Ontario License Green Plate Numbers Choices

    English speakers might not be bothered so much by the VE letters but rather by the french wording on the plate bottom(vehicule ecologique). I asked for and received a swap of mine at the MTO when Tesla issued me a VE plate due to a shortage of GV plates at their local office.

    Canada - FSD rollout

    If Tesla insurance will be using the same algorithms as the safety score to determine premiums then that makes it a lot less attractive to me as a product. I agree with the comments in this thread regarding the almost impossibilty of getting perfect scores in the city and had to reset mine once...

    FSD on lease buyout

    Like he said above - not an issue for FSD. Free supercharging is another story and that will vanish (if it is in play). Can confirm all of this by personal experience.

    Eastern Canada Superchargers

    I'm assuming that the reason there are no Q1 2022 installs in Ontario is due to the winter weather. Here's hoping that Q2 means as soon as the ground starts thawing we see a burst of installations in April-May. Just in time for day trip season. Or perhaps just wishful thinking 😇

    It is awesome seeing all these new SC coming this spring! When I first got my Tesla there were trips that I couldn't / wouldn't do that are now easy and routine. Ottawa -> North Bay Ottawa -> Collingwood Ottawa -> North Oshawa (via Hwy 7) Ottawa -> Cottage country (thanks Perth!) My missing...

    sentry live mode not available in Canada

    Just to add to the disappointments, I have side loaded latest Android app version 4.3 and have 2021.40 on the car but have no live sentry. This indicates to me that Canada is not getting it yet for whatever reason.

    Canadian Stores and Service Centers

    Went to the new Ottawa (Barrhaven) sales centre on Sunday afternoon while out for a drive. They appeared to be fully open with quite a few customers in the showroom and a couple of Tesla's in the drive in bays. There were many new model 3's and a few Y's all around the parking lots. I did not go...

    2017 X 75D suddenly increased max supercharging speed!!

    Wow - hope this is universal. I am going to have to go out and try a supercharge session. I actually had put in a service call about this charging speed in September after a couple of longer road trips and found max of 83 Kw at V3 chargers. Tesla service pulled the logs and said it was normal...

    Tinting - Traveling to Quebec

    Ontario and Quebec have the same regulations about window tinting but Quebec has been much more aggressive in enforcing it. That is changing now though. Here in Ottawa, which for those who don't know is on the border with Gatineau Quebec, the local police announced that they purchased a large...

    Canada $5000 federal incentive for Model Y?

    Small update for Ottawa - took a drive by the new location (530 Motor Works Ave) yesterday and saw that the previous dealership is completely gone (Myers Nissan). All signs are gone. With the invitations to bid going out to contractors, it would seem reasonable to expect that it will be open by...

    PPF Ottawa Area

    Watch a few youtube videos about PPF installation to get a better understanding of the nuances. The experience and skill of the installer is very important and it is not worth scrimping for poor quality work. It comes down to how well the seams are hidden and the little details that have to be...

    PPF Ottawa Area

    I had Goldwing do my Model X with Full body XPel Stealth and ceramic coating last month. They did an out standing job and I looked closely for any cut corners. Yes, they removed all the badges and replaced them with brand new ones from the Tesla service centre. They also had to repair a couple...

    2020.48 fixes key fob security flaw on Model X

    Interesting. Seems like having pin to drive enabled would prevent the car from being driven even if access was granted via this exploit. Personally, I have had pin-to-drive enabled permanently for about 6 months now and don't even notice it any more and gives some peace of mind over unknown...

    Half Of daily mileage lost due to phantom Drain!! 44 miles phantom drain 2 days.

    2017 Model X - I was seeing higher vampire drain before I got the MCU2 upgrade earlier this summer. I am pretty sure the car was not going to sleep. Now it is losing about 5 miles/day with Climate overheat on. Prior to the MCU change I was seeing about 20 miles / day drain and like you i didn't...

    Supercharger - Nepean, ON - Robertson Road

    The day Perth opened up, the location showed up in the Tesla app as a nearby charger. I expect the same thing to happen with Nepean especially since it will the closest supercharger to my home. So I keep checking the app when I am not passing by the location. Nothing yet as of this evening.

    I (and several others here) have been visiting this SC regularly and it is just waiting for the power to be turned on, as far as we can tell. Once that happens, it normally shows up on the Tesla app & nav within a day or 7. I'm sure it will be posted here once something happens I gotta ask --...
