If you wanted to split it over the course of multiple years, couldn't you use the regular CCA schedule to depreciate it? Then you aren't limited to 55k, and could do the full amount?

If 407 allowed EV's to go toll free like Norway, I'm sure GTA would have significantly higher EV sales. :)

Has the topic of royalty payments come up? As a smaller developer, you should be able to reason with the other party that your sales are X and that you would pay a certain % of sales. I would think that % would be much lower than legal fees to fight the lawsuit.

I used Alloy Wheel Repair in Stittsville. I can arrange to meet you if you want to take a look at their repairs on mine.

My method was pretty ghetto, usb power banks are pretty much a dime a dozen. I got two of those and 2 usb powered desk fans. If the kids are hot, they turn on the fans themselves. No need to run any extra wiring. After the trip, I just plug the power banks into the usb at the front and they are...

Done

I'll take it if you can ship to Canada

Lincoln Heights Ford.

Made an appointment with my wife's car's dealership since I remembered them mentioning they service another local Tesla. Have been happy with their service, so hopefully will be painless. :)

VW Touareg (V8). Don't miss the $150 weekly fill-ups!

Hi folks, Went over a pothole and thankfully didn't damage any tires like last year (bubbles in sidewall). However, I am noticing it pulling to one side now. Anyone have recommendations on alignment shops is Ottawa that they have taken their Model St? Thanks, Asif

Used Comber on Friday evening on my trip from Stittsville to Kingsville. Worked great as I was exiting the 401 at the exit anyways and topped up for the weekend stay. Allowed me to plug into a regular 120v outlet and stay charged up for the trip back.

I'm watching this thread with interest as well. I'm in Ottawa and would like to hear of good local installers.

Excellent, will definitely hit them up to do mine. What's the turn around for getting them back?

I was told that there is an Ottawa Service Centre in the plans for next year. I'll believe it when construction starts. :)

Originally, all cars had the extra reinforcements, whether you had the jump seats or not. Then it was changed around VIN 5500 where only the factory ordered jump seat option included the reinforcements. I confirmed with Tesla that my VIN met the requirements for the jump seats and that they...

They were great with turnaround. I had the dual charger and the rear jump seats installed prior to taking delivery. The previous owner returned the car to the leasing company on the Thursday, the leasing company dropped off the car at the Service Center on Friday, and I picked up the car at the...

Since I got my Tesla second hand, I paid $3,600 to get the dual chargers after the fact. For me it was worth it after seeing that where I was going to be travelling, there were high amp chargers. I've made use of the dual chargers more than I had planned since SuC's were supposed to be rolled...

If the Montreal SuC come online, Casselman wouldn't be as important as they originally may have been.

I'm curious about the "we continue to evaluate additional options to quickly bring charging to Kingston" statement. Additional options for the custom part, or additional charging options. (HPWC?)

If this comes to Ottawa, I would be interested.

Thanks, I'm assuming he is giving some type of guarantee. I called a place in the west end, but they only do powder coating. For the curb rash they gave the name of another place, but I wanted a one shop solution. In case of chipping I didn't want the shop blaming it on the other shop's work.

Where are you getting the rims powder coated? I have the same 21" rims I need to get rid of curb rash and was thinking of changing the colour at the same time.

We're doing the same trip on the long weekend. I've made the trip twice to Toronto without stopping taking highway 7 to the Best Western in Markham. This time we'll be heading to the Lawrence St Super Charger.

It is now showing up in my list of Superchargers in the Nav.

Yup, that's the one. Toronto Supercharger | Tesla Motors

Is that assuming there will be a SpC at the new store in Montreal? If that's the case, they should place one in Ottawa which is 200 km away at the new Tanger Factory Outlets, close to the Canadian Tire Centre, and the Kanata Auto Park. That would be great marketing where prospective car buyers...

Any mention if their next job is another SC?

The low tech trick I've been using is to keep an eye on my kid's hair in the rear view mirror, then roll both rear windows down until I see hair on the top of their heads fly around. Usually is about 1 1/2" to 2" rolled down. Not ideal, but I did a 1200km road trip with no complaints. Tinting...

If Drummondville is showing as under construction, and we have the above pictures of Cornwall, I would love to ask the crew working in Cornwall if they are headed anywhere after they complete this site.

Nice!

With all the SC activity going on so close to Ottawa, a new dilemma... Planning on which SC opening ceremony to attend? This is one SC issue I don't mind. ;)

It was OFF in the UI, so I guess that's a positive. In any case, I hope it gets sorted out and I don't have to remember to check the setting after future firmware updates.

I may just have to take a trip to Upper Canada Village this weekend to do some recon.

So, I reported the issue to Tesla and it appears the explanation is as follows. After the latest firmware update some cars reverted the lock on walk away setting to off in the background. I tested by walking away from the car and checked the smartphone app which showed the lock status as...

In that case, can you plan a trip through Toronto 3rd week of August? ;) I'm heading there 4th week of August and just got back from an eventful trip this past weekend. Blown fuse at the SCH charger at Markham Best Western Plus, Chargepoint at Toyota charger having no power, and SCH charger at...

I guess I should count me as one of the lucky ones that found a used Tesla in Canada.

That was my understanding as well, the import duty and currency were the two reasons for the price difference in Canada. Compared to other manufactures, the price difference between Canada and US is very reasonable.

Definitely will not be an issue for me, as my Michelins barely lasted 15k / 12 months.

But what /who are they protecting? They don't have any dealers to protect.

Well, at least you're consistent with Tesla on one thing, ignoring Canada. ;)

You'd figure with the Model S being the safest car ever tested the bumpers could handle the minimum requirements.

What's odd is that the post from Tesla announcing the Squamish SC still shows the Chatham SC in the picture. I hope that doesn't go away, as it will help with trips to Detroit / Windsor.

$11,500 to setup a level 2 charger? Wow, didn't expect it to be that high.

+1, had the same question myself after reading about your install.

I don't have any answers to questions you pose, but I just wanted to also chime in on how disappointed I am in the PS2 tires. I had all four tires replaced at the Tesla Service Center 3 weeks ago and have noticed the bulge on 2 of the 4 tires.

Since it was at the service centre, I just went with what they had. I figure I'll be replacing them again soon. :-( This is the line item on the receipt: MICHELIN PS2 TIRE - 245/35R21 (101962400-A) Quantity 4.00 Unit Price 467.28

I'd be interested as well in this info. I just replaced all four of mine while it was in the service centre for the 12v replacement and annual service. I was surprised to hear that the rear wheels were 'not safe to leave the service centre' after only 20k of driving.

Yea, I didn't drive mine in the winter because I didn't get the winter tires and had a Touareg. I've since sold the Touareg. Good thing too with the crazy gas prices plus the requirement for supreme. I'm seeing alot more as well. Just saw a white one parked on Lapperiere last week, and a black...
