I've been using miles/kilometers since 2013 on my MS. It's a fixed miles/charge. In other words in EPA standard conditions it will go the indicated miles. Half the full mileage indication is 50% charge. It tells me how far I can go running the battery to 0% charge under EPA conditions which are...

Just had mine replaced on Mon. due to a total failure. The car was totally dead in my garage in the morning. I had to jumper the car to get it to Mississagua SC. I guess I must have got one of the last ones. They replaced it on warrantee.

I'm sure it's just limited to a fixed % of the 75kwh battery so would show proportional degradation. That's how the 40's worked.

My 40 was limited to 68% of the 60kwh battery. In other words it would degrade at the same rate as a 60 that never charged over 68%. I expect the new 60 and 70 do the same.

Hate to say it, but as an MS owner who lined up at Yorkdale, I would be surprised to see mine before 2019.

Probably sending them south for the bigger $.

Picked one up Saturday at Tranmere. They have one left. I'd be happy to loan mine for a refundable deposit. Maybe we should have a sticky thread for CHAdeMo loaners.

I've upgraded my S40 and now get 320 rated km on a range charge. I used to get up to 220 rated before the upgrade. I also did the Supercharger upgrade. I'm planning to drive to Oshkosh WI for Airventure via Superchargers this weekend.

In Ontario it's No Fault insurance, so I'm sure your own Insurance will pay. Just make sure they don't assign ANY part of the fault to you as they will use it to increase your rate. If the other driver was from out of Province, then his insurance must pay according to fault. Don't let them screw...

My car missed it's originally promised Father's day delivery due some updates that needed to be done, so my wife talked them into giving us 2 winter jackets, 2 hats and 1 extra J1772 adapter. She's VERY persuasive :biggrin:

ChaDeMo is DC so the adapter does not need the dual chargers. It does require the Supercharger capability. I have the Dual chargers and have used their capability many times on Sun Country CS90 chargers.

What about the case using recirc? If no cold outside air is used to reduce the passenger temperature then no energy is wasted. The overall cabin temperature can be lower if the heat is directed to the driver only. Kia obviously thinks this works to save energy.

That may be so with A/C which is much more efficient at transferring heat than resistance heating is for creating heat. Modern A/C can have a COP of 5 or 5x the efficiency of resistance heaters. Resistance heating, as in the MS, can thus have a very significant effect on range. I'm just trying...

I believe the Kia Soul EV can restrict heating to the driver's side to save energy and thus increase range. Would this strategy work for a Model S or would the cooler air coming in the passenger side eat up the energy savings? The Soul probably shuts off the outside air to the passenger side to...

"***NOTE: A vehicle software update must be performed at the service center if Supercharging is not enabled." Does this mean that the CHAdeMO adapter can be enabled without enabling the Supercharger? I have a 40/60, so would have to upgrade to a 60 to get supercharger capability. I also...

I just talked to the Mississauga service centre and was quoted the $2700 price for the Sottozero2 all in. To cinch the deal he said that the annual seasonal changeover is included. I believe this is good value considering it includes TPSs and will be done correctly for the Tesla. I believe he...

I have 2 early Dahon 3 speed bikes with carrying bags that BOTH fit in the frunk in their bags. Actually, one of them is the original HON stainless steel bike made in California before they became Dahon and produced them in China. I paid about $400 for the Hon 20+ years ago, then bought the...

I've averaged 189wh/km since last August with just under 20000km. For the first 3 months or so, until the cooler weather came, I averaged 154. The battery heat really kills the range on short trips, but if you switch to "range" mode the battery heat will not come on until -10C or so, saving that...

I discovered that cheap wool gloves work with the touch screen(eg Walmart $1).

For those of us without the tech package, will we need a totally different solution? If it's an analog camera, will a special board be required?

After many reboots of both screens, the internet browser now seems to be working normally :confused:. For awhile, after a reboot, it would load 1 or 2 web pages then quit loading further pages. Although the service centre is only 8.5km from my place, I hate to take it in for trivial stuff. It...

Did the reboot of both screens and got the internet back for a few pages then lost it again. Did the same several times. I guess the next step will be to have the SC reload the system.

Spotted an MS heading south on airport road about 12:30pm on my way to Collingwood in my silver model S 40/60. He waved. It looked grey, but the Tesla colours seem to change significantly in different lighting.

The internet on my Model S has not worked since the last update a few days ago. I can no longer get wind reports for kitesurfing at my favourite spots :crying:. The Google map still works, so I'm getting data for that. My car is a 40/60 without the tech package. I'm thinking Tesla is selectively...

I could make it on either date or location.

Got my MS40 on Monday June 17. Mettallic silver with extra charger for the Sun****ry CS90s. Haven't tried a road trip yet but already had my first software update. When I got up and tried the car the speedometer screen was blank 8>( I tried the thumbwheel reboot to no avail, then called...

Got my Delivery date of June 13 at 10:00 am at Mississagua service centre :biggrin:

Anyone done this yet? Euro Teslas apparently now have sensors as an option but no details yet. - - - Updated - - - There's also an external strip that can be applied that may work for some. http://www.proxel.com/en/models/front-parking-sensor/eps-strip-front.html

I think the Chev dealer may have an L2.

Had a tour of the Fremont factory yesterday. There were lots of red ones being built and about half of the factory pick-ups were red. Very impressive how large rolls of aluminum become cars!! Lots of robots. Not so many human workers except in final assembly. The tour takes about 50 minutes...

I actually put my reservation in the morning after the announcement (April 1) and finalized same day. Everything was done online. I figured they'd have to honor it or give my deposit back. The online 40kwh option disappeared that afternoon. My page now says "the Tesla factory is building your...

After learning of the cancelling of the MS40 on March 31, I managed to order one just before the option was removed. I had previously cancelled an 85 as too expensive. The possibility of upgrading to a 60 with supercharger later and the probable increase in battery life of a 60 de-rated to 40...
