My Model S ran amazingly and needed minimal service for the first 8 years. It's low mileage but had been in 2 major accidents and still drove really well after these incidents. Ironically, after my warranty completely expired last year, it's been nothing but trouble. I had the suspension...

My model S is finally needing new pads and rotors after 8 years. Who do you recommend? I prefer west Toronto or Mississauga.

So did you do it yourself? Where did you eventually get it? Mine's 2013.

Thank you. Mine is a 2013 model S RWD (can't believe I've had it almost 8 years!) If I can't easily obtain the battery, I guess I'll go to Tesla. I was worried it was going to be like $1000 or something.

This is my first warning of my 12V battery needing replacement after warranty ended. I have a few questions for those that have done it. Can this be done myself? Where do I buy the 12V battery if I can? How much does Tesla charge for this service? How long do I have from the first warning...

I've been going to them since 2013 for my Tesla MS but it used to be free so I put up with inconvenience of going there. Now I'm not sure I want to wait the hour it takes each time they do a changeover on rims when I'm paying. Looking for recommendations for a mobile service if those on here...

I am located in Toronto, Canada and just got new wheels without center caps. I need another set of silver ones and am open to both new and excellent used condition. Red accents or stickers are a bonus!

Looking for silver centre caps still. Can't get through to any of the Tesla service centres around Toronto and need to get my summer wheels on soon.

I'm looking to replace my centre caps and TPMS sensors but looking for a reasonable price for a good product. I am sure I can get a better deal than through Tesla. Any Canadian friendly options? Thanks.

I've used Excellence twice for some major repair work, as I was hit twice by other cars in the past few years. My husband takes the Porsche to 427, which is much closer to us, and they also do a great job. Good to know they are also Tesla authorized.

I have one of the first Canadian red multi-coat Model S's, a 2013 P85 with 45,000km on the odometer. Other than some company recalls/upgrades, it had only been in for service to replace the 12V battery in year 4 and to fix the tire sensor system twice, all free of charge. In my 4+ years of...

I just got a quote from E.T. auto centers for the R2 and their quote was only slightly better than Kal Tire's online price, and they don't provide free changeovers.

They are the main ones for Nokian but there are some other shops in GTA that sell them. Even among the different Kal Tire locations, and amongst the salespeople, there are differences in prices as they will negotiate. I lost two of my salespeople who gave the best deals recently. High...

Has anyone purchased the Nokian Hakka R2's this year? I need to replace 2 of mine this month and would like to know what price is competitive. I find that there is a lot of room to negotiate on tires if you have a competitor price.

I go to the Mississauga Kal Tire and they have always swapped my winters/summers for free and I have only bought tires for my Tesla from them. I got Tirerack Rial rims (2 sets), just like you and they know that. I did buy a rim/winter set for my parents there once and my husband has gotten...

Does anyone have an itemized checklist of the things done at each service appointment from before the price increase? I just got quoted $300 more for the 2yr service than prior to Feb 2017. I wanted to compare what this increase in fee is covering exactly.

I'm at 4yrs ownership at end of May and will be bringing in my vehicle for the 40,000km service (yes, I'm a very low mileage driver!). Tesla Mississauga quoted 750 for 2yr/40,000km service plus 300 for "extras" applied after Feb 2017. Also they suggested a 150 brake service. Does anyone know...

I actually have a separate meter for my car charging and I get quarterly data from Toronto Hydro that shows my car use vs home electricity use and it's all broken down into time of day, each day, plus aggregate data for various parameters. So they definitely can police and monitor exact use on...

Yes, I know this. The point I was trying to make is that I am not using a previously installed 40amp circuit. I had a new 50amp circuit and breaker installed with a separate meter for the Tesla specifically. On another note: I confirmed that all my adapters work with all my cables, and the...

I'm totally fine on ice or snow with my winter tires as long as I'm not backing up a steep hill in my RWD. Too bad I do the backing up a steep hill everytime I get out of my garage. That is the only reason I'm thinking of getting a D.

And I think drivetrain and battery are covered for 8 years anyways. I think I'll pass on the ESA as well. It sounded good in theory but after thinking and reading other peoples' opinions, it's not worth it.

Thanks. My outlet was made specifically for the Tesla and they used a 50amp circuit. BTW, I tried the new 32 amp cable with my old 40amp adapter and it will charge at 40amps. What gives? It seems for me, the cable doesn't matter at all and it's the adapter that determines the rate. And all...

Thanks everyone. The trade-in quote I got was so horrible it was an easy decision not to upgrade yet. I'm still under warranty for another 4 months so I can decide again at that point.

What did that cost you in terms of difference in CPO vs trade in? My trade in quote is horribly low.

Update: I just tried the new adaptor with an old 40amp cable and my car is charging fine at 32amps.

I'm bringing this topic up again because I have had 3 UMC cables in my possession since I got sent the new version last year, still in the box. I'm ready to sell it as I don't even need 2 cables, let alone 3. My garage has the NEMA 14-50 outlet on a 50amp breaker. I have been charging at...

@number12 I don't have a lease. I just bought it outright with cash. @yak-55 I know it makes financial sense to have a smaller battery, and I'm a low mileage driver, but I don't know if I want to go smaller, coming from an 85. It's come in handy on the two trips from Toronto to Ottawa we...

I have a P85 and it's on its 4th winter. Driving around Toronto on Hakka R2s and even getting over small snowbanks is fine - I appreciate the active suspension for that. My only problem is backing up my steep driveway when it's not fully cleared and salted. The rear wheels get to a point...

So I am about 5 months away from the end of my original 4yr warranty on my beloved 2013 P85 with only 39,000km. It has given me very little trouble and dare I say I never even serviced it. The problem is, it has had extensive front end damage TWICE (neither were my fault, but the latter...

My friend in Ottawa got a white one delivered recently. My husband spotted a black one on the 401 around Allen Rd in Toronto today.

I have an extra rarely used 40A (almost new) and a brand new in box 32A. I'm willing to sell one of them and keep the other as a spare. Since I have my original 40A one already, I can live with the 32A one as my spare but I guess it depends on which one I can sell for a higher price. Right now...

Is there a market for 32A or 40A UMC? I ended up with 3 cables, one still unused in box. Not sure how much to sell them for. As for sensors, I ordered from Tire Rack at their high price 3yrs ago ( I think it was $100US each), then Tesla at their low price ($50CAD) last year, and just...

Funny, sensors and touch up paint were the most recent accessory purchases I made from Tesla. Fortunately I got my sensors last summer when they were $50. But I paid $30 plus tax for paint that's the same volume as a small bingo dabber.

My husband and my friend have both used TFX to ship their cars across the country. They are used to high end cars, and specialize in cross-border but we have had them do shipments from Ontario to BC. I'm not sure what the price would be for your distance and whether it would be cheaper than...

I'm posting this here since I prefer to sell my rims locally and to a Canadian. I have them listed for $2800 US in Panjo but will take $3500 CAD for local pickup. Great condition, 2 of the tires are virtually new. Photos are in the For Sale area of this forum and on Panjo.

Bump... looking for local pick up. Price is in US$ but will take CAD$ at current exchange rate. The two new tires alone are worth $800 (new as of late summer 2015). Rims, sensors, caps, lug nuts amount to only $2000 price.

They are still available. Not sure how to start PM on this new site! Please PM me if interested.

My 12V battery needs changing warning came up today. How much is this to replace? I think I've been lucky until now, not needing any service yet.

I have both the 21" OEM Turbines and the 19" Rials and I actually prefer the look of the Rials. I am selling my 21" Tesla turbines and likely replacing with another set of Rials for my summer tires.

Non-Staggered Set of 21" Silver Turbine OEM Rims + original TPMS and Tires - CANADA These wheels have been driven approximately 10,000km in summer only. They come with OEM caps, sensors, lug nuts and 4 Continental extreme contact tires (2 original, 2 recently replaced). They have no major...

So you're saying you brought your car in for service at 40,000km and ended up paying $1800 in services? If so, I think I will just stay with my current non-service schedule and avoid them looking for things to "fix".

So was it worth paying for a service? I haven't spent a cent since I got my Tesla. There were a few fixes and upgrades but they were recalls or warranty items. I haven't even changed my wipers once yet.

I am in my third year of ownership with a 2013 model at 35,000km. I have never been in for a service at all as my car runs like a dream still. Am I abnormal?

Another question for those who have used Excellence already: It may seem trivial, but I already have a prescheduled detailing appointment on Tuesday, and was wondering whether to keep it or postpone it. I want to know if Excellence will fully clean the car for you after their body work or if I...

Thanks for the help. I might as well go through insurance since the other party already did, and so the at-fault is already going to be charged against us. Both of us have accident free driving records and a free accident claim each, so our premium won't go up with just this one. My...

Hello, My husband rear-ended someone in my Model S yesterday and the hood is buckled and won't open. I also have scratches all over the nose cone and a deformed licence plate :( I went to Auto Magicians for an assessment and it looks like I'll need a new hood, grill and a lot of paint blending...

I've never expected the dealer to pay for my flat tire, even on a brand new car. This happened to me twice in my Tesla and both times the puncture was unrepairable. The first I had Kal tire replace and the second I went to Tesla. In the end I ended up paying way less going with Tesla for the...

I have the 21" OEM turbines and the 19" Rials. I actually prefer the finish and the look of the Rials. I'm going to get another set for summer and get rid of the 21". The tires are too expensive to keep replacing!

I got the same Tesla mats and have been through 2 winters with them. I agree they are great, same as weather tech.

We've used Auto Magicians in Mississauga for our Lexus and Porsche and they did a good job for a good price. I'm bringing my MS there soon to get a quote on symmetrical rear scrapes I created by backing into parking posts, twice on the same day, one on each side!
