Depends... they will do it via eSIM if your car is equipped (should be since you upgraded - I did as well). I believe the first generation cars without upgrades required a physical SIM swap (I'm speculating, I don't know for sure). Easy way to check which network you're on is to visit an IP...

Tesla's Canadian car's used to use AT&T for mobile connectivity and would roam on Canadian networks (old timers will remember frequent disconnects in service as the older modems would hunt around forever in a no service state while it was looking for AT&T whenever there was a loss in coverage)...

Charged there today (3 or 4 other cars showed up, too). No issues.

Oh yeah. For sure on all counts. I guess the upgrade isn't *that* insanely priced (my iPhone was $2000), however, the rest of my car isn't getting any newer and will have to be replaced sooner rather than later. Bluetooth it is. :(

Agreed. It's weird. There are a ton of Tesla's driving back and forth through this stretch, and a ton of owners in Essex County and Windsor. Toronto is a popular destination for people down there.

I travel between Kingsville (SE of Windsor on Lake Erie) and Toronto weekly, and this is a big gap. My ageing MS 85 won't really make Comber (unless it's summer and I drive slowly), and London is *really* busy now. On the weekends, there are frequently short waits. Often, the Tesla route...

😂 My guess is someone has, and that's why it's uncovered!

I've got a 2014 S85 MCU1 and also on 2022.8.10.8, and also bummed they haven't pushed this. You would *think* if they can support Tidal and Spotify on MCU1, that Apple Music shouldn't be a stretch.

As of Jan 15/23:

Progress update. Took this Christmas Eve (was charging at the CHAdeMO Flo charger beside it).

Just thought I'd add my two cents on the Falken Azenis FK510. About 4000km ago I switched from the OE Continental DW's that were factory shod on my 21' Turbine wheels. I burned through two sets of those, and never really loved them. Decided to save some cash and the Falkens were the...

Just got an e-mail from Tesla offering me a complimentary Model Y All-Weather Protection Kit by entering in my "exclusive promo code". Even provided a handy link. ...but when I go to apply the promo code, it says it's not valid for the item in my cart. Anyone else?

Just did a DIY rattle repair on the front defroster vent diffuser/grille on my 2014 MS. This required taking apart a significant part of the dash (top pad, instrument bezel, bottom pad, glovebox, etc...). Upon reinstallation of the drivers side dash components (specifically the instrument side...

My significant other rear-ended a car in our 2014 pre-AP MS a couple of weeks ago in (what we think was) a staged-rear end collision. She also managed to curb rash two freshly repaired 21' turbine wheels (all in less than 6 hours), but I digress. The entire front end of the car is being...

Thanks. Yeah, we're good. I'm amazed at how well the car handled it.

So this happened tonight... Driving eastbound on the 401 about 18km west of London and a deer ran into my lane. After pulling over, I pulled up the dash cam footage and a small coyote was on the deer's heel. Both hit the front of the car and went over. Then when I got home I pulled up the...

TL;DR: Your car has an AT&T SIM card and all traffic is routed through the US. Anything that uses IP address based location identification will think you're in the US. If it's trying to use GPS (more accurate), the car will prompt you (via the browser) if you want to allow it. Here's what's...

I'm struggling with Tesla right now on this issue. I have the ESA, and based on their diagnostics, my level of eMMC wear doesn't warrant a replacement. This is most likely the reason I haven't received the e-mail telling me to get it fixed via the new extended replacement/upgrade program. I have...

I have not received the e-mail, and I’m in Canada, and I’m having persistent MCU problems (reboots, black screen, Sirius XM unusable, etc...) and during my last appointment in September, they told me it was “within spec”. I forget what metric is it (I’m sure someone here can tell me), but it’s...

It'll switch back and forth between Rogers and Bell/TELUS. When I still had access to the diagnostic screen, I could see the network my car was attached to, and I saw both.

Well, have my first crack. 152,000 km's on the car, but 1/2 of those were on my winter wheels so let's say 75,000 km or 46,000 mi. Tesla wanted $1530 CAD plus tax for a new one. I'm getting it repaired for $185 CAD. First cracked rim in my life, but I can't say I wasn't warned.

Yep. Happens to me all the time.

Yep. Same for me, except I’m in an AP0 car. I am pretty sure my MCU is dying, and I’m near the end of my extended warranty. The MCU locks up and reboots so often now, it’s painful. I had it in for service with Tesla a week ago and they told me it tested fine and they cleared the memory. Great...

Yeah, I think this is sort of what’s happening. If I go through the categories and select a station, it goes to the preview channel. I can use the steering wheel controls to go back and forth through the favourites, but I can’t select any through the UI. When I’m on a station, I can’t use...

Wondering if anyone else is having this problem. I have a Canadian SiriusXM subscription, so maybe that's part of it. After the re-freshed update was applied, I had to reauthorize the radio (can't use the # they conveniently include on the touch screen - that goes to SiriusXM US and they know...

Cool, thanks for posting and keep us updated! I'm thinking about doing this for my winter wheels on my Y. After originally disliking these wheels, they've really grown on me, and since they're aero, they will definitely help with range in the winter. How is the ride from a handling...

Agree with most of all that, with some reservations. Android Auto ≠ Apple CarPlay. Apple's ecosystem is far ahead and far more mature, with a lot more apps, and a lot better apps. The only area Android competes with Apple from an app perspective is on mobile (tablet apps and car apps are no...

I'm an early Tesla customer too (not as early as you - 2014 VIN32xxx). Elon said they're not exactly minting money (1%, 1/2% profit), so they're still limited in resources (both engineering and money). I didn't expect Tesla to make any improvements (let alone infotainment) to my 6 year old car...

I would love CarPlay. Tesla's infotainment system is okay, but CarPlay would be better. Spotify's CarPlay app is better than Tesla's Spotify integration. Waze, of course, exists vs. doesn't (I know you can go via the web - try that with an MCU1 car - hit or miss). A SiriusXM app would be nice...

Wow, that sucks! Glad I got my MY PPF'd as soon as I could. Check out this video. He compares the Tesla kit with Dr. ColorChip. Some interesting results (TL;DR: he ultimately picks Dr. ColorChip).

Never said it was "near perfect". Pretty sure I said it matched and that "My MY is okay". You'll see that under the left tail light, near the bumper crease, it closely matches the hatch to the right of it (especially along the bumper crease and extreme bottom left edge). Look to the right side...

Yeah, not saying there aren't perfect examples out there, just saying that it's more common than I thought. I'm still surprised by it.

I brought my car to get PPF and ceramic coating the day after delivery to one of the best shops in the Toronto area. These guys have extensive experience with all brands at all price points. In general, I asked how my Tesla was on the “Tesla scale” and they gave it a 9. On the Ford scale, they...

Well, here’s my MY (yes, I just did that) delivery report: - Overall, pretty good! - Paint: I have the Pearl White, and all the paint matches, although your eyes, the paint, and the sun sure play tricks on you. I could make myself believe that panels were different colours if I really wanted...

Got October 2021 stickers. Nick from Tesla told me that they pass on whatever the MTO gives them when they register, so if anyone is to blame, it’s the MTO, but you could perhaps not excuse whomever from Tesla for not maybe saying “hey, how about we go another year since their birthday is coming...

Took delivery today. White paint matches. VIN 46xxx. Birthday is 9/4 (or around there - systems were down and they couldn’t tell me exactly).

Now you’re just trolling. The Y he disassembled on video didn’t have the wood moulding, so impossible for him to miss it. Sandy is the real deal. I personally know the person who held the camera recording him in those videos. To suggest he’s dishonest to suit a personal narrative is unfair...

Weird. Based on some descriptions, it appears as if there is some bug that leaves the phone mic active if it’s charging wirelessly (double mic with delay would cause acoustic echo), but that wouldn’t be a Tesla issue, it would be an iOS or Android issue, so I am doubting this a bit. The...

My birthday is in October. I pick up the car on Wednesday. I'll let you know what they did.

Yep. 2 day delay. 9/21 to 9/23. Toronto.

Wow, crazy quick. Where did you take delivery? I ordered White/White, 20” wheels, no tow, no FSD on 08/26 (VIN 46xxx). Delivery originally scheduled for 09/21, but they reached out last Wednesday to tell me it’s held up at the border, so 09/23 delivery now. Switched from Lawrence to their...

This. After years of driving my Model S, a couple of years ago, the drive unit had to be replaced and they didn’t have any Tesla loaners left, so they arranged for a Mercedes GLC instead. I remember getting in thinking exactly what you said - it felt like driving a laggy POS, and I was assaulted...

I got a call in 2013, so... uhmm....

To those saying it's a pressure/sales tactic, perhaps... but perhaps not. I had my Tesla advisor call me advising the same thing back during the last week of August 2013, and I listened and placed my deposit. Sure enough, to his word, prices increased at the start of September. Saved me...

I think it’s luck of the draw. There are good, competent employees, and bad, incompetent employees. My purchase and delivery experience 6 1/2 years ago was amazing and organized. Thankfully, the person who helped me purchase and took me on my test drive (he didn’t do my delivery, but that went...

I’m not sure, but I believe it triages based on the symptoms you select when you try to schedule something. Others will be able to confirm or deny. I need to get the S serviced before the extended warranty expires (soon) and it’s down in Kingsville most of the time, but I’m sure what I need...

Hahah... welcome to Tesla ownership. :-) The Rangers are great. Pretty amazing what they can do remotely.

Saw a white M3 this morning on Division turning left on Main. Was that you?

I had a white 2010 BMW 3-Series Touring that had mismatched paint, too. It was subtle, but I could see it. I pointed it out to several people and they thought I was nuts, so I just learned to live with it. Then I got rear ended and had to have the rear bumper replaced. Sure enough, slightly...

This. Also a factor for me. After 6 winters with my Model S, winter range reduction is a real thing. Looking forward to seeing how much the heat pump improves efficiency.
