    My Tesla Story - and why a Model S is less expensive than a Honda Odyssey

    Tesla Model S is cheaper than a Honda Odyssey minivan in the long-run I've explained this simple concept to many people over last few months and many couldn't wrap their heads around the concept of long term vehicle cost. I've found the barrier for most is the starting price and they can't...

    Anti-Tesla Gibberish

    Tesla’s Model S can be located, unlocked, and burglarized with a simple hack Here is a brief excerpt taken from ExtremeTech.com: While Tesla’s Model S might bephysically the safest car on the road, once it’s parked up by the curb, it’s not very secure at all. That’s according to a security...

    Wiper Blades Icing Up - Even with Subzero Package

    Was at service yesterday and they had to adjust my wipers to sit better on the heated area of the windshield. I'll let you know if there are any noticeable differences

    Firmware 5.8

    Thanks. My firmware update while at home connected to wifi failed. It forced me to go to the service centre and left a message on my dash until that was done..

    Firmware 5.8

    Thanks for the heads up. I wondered why it didn't have any details about the update as we've seen in previous updates. Any noticeable / noteworthy updates to 5.8 that you've noticed??

    S85 Owners: Do you wish you had bought S60 instead

    Hi Dave A few questions 1) how long have you had your car? 2) What is your maximum charging capacity now? 3) How many time have you charged at the max capacity? Thanks in advance!

    Wiper Blades Icing Up - Even with Subzero Package

    The heated seats are worth it. I have 3 kids and they all enjoy the (almost instant) heated seats and it's really efficient to heat the seats vs heating the cabin. I also saw benefit to the heated nozzles as well..... Subzero package is still worth it.... Just questioning if the heated...

    Wiper Blades Icing Up - Even with Subzero Package

    I had the car treated with OptiCoat Pro. Good points on the service mode and preheating. That's what I had done several times yesterday. I think the challenge comes in the design of where the wipers actually sit. There is no good way to clean out the snow and ice that accumulates down there...

    Wiper Blades Icing Up - Even with Subzero Package

    Had my MS for less than a month and we got our first snowfall. Decided to take it out for a drive in the snow and found that my wiper blades ice up something awful. This occurs even with Front Defroster on high and heated wipers turned on. This problem appears to be attributed to the wiper...

    S85 Owners: Do you wish you had bought S60 instead

    A guy in my neighbourhood told me that's the one thing he regretted (not getting the 85). I would do the 85 in a second... it could become more important in you live in a colder climate and drive in winter conditions. Went with the P85+

    Winter driving observations

    Agree. Just relative to the Km's I drive Mon-Fri the 60 KwH battery charged to 80% would have yielded a starting range of about 260Km which would not have worked for me. The good news here is that I've had my MS for about 19-days now, driven a total of 3159 Km's. If I were using gas that...

    Winter driving observations

    I experienced some pretty significant range reduction yesterday myself while driving a total of only 157.3 Km yesterday in my P85+ MS. The temperature was -11 degrees celsius. I think around -18 with windchill. Started my day with 376Km of Range and ended it with 58Km of remaining range...

    Reboot Your Model S

    Thanks for the Heads up! I get my MS on December 3rd and my wife will be driving it back and forth from the Suburbs to Toronto so I need to make sure she's prepared for these things. Picked up a P85+ as a daily driver. I'll be lucky to get to drive this in the evenings and weekends.

    Model S vs BMW i8

    My MS almost fully loaded without the headliner, carbon fiber spoiler, Napa Trim and rear facing seats still costs less than the BMW i8 I still pick the Model S as the goto car. You be the Judge

    Model S hits 130 Miles on the Autobahn in Germany

    I agree these limits are foolish in many regards. They put the new speed rules in Ontario for the purpose of extra Revenue.

    Model S hits 130 Miles on the Autobahn in Germany

    LoL. I just found the video online. I live in Toronto. If you get clocked at 150KM/h (93M/h) they police will pull you over and you will be charged with "Stunt Driving" given a fine of up to 10K, Car is impounded and you get jailed. I am supposed to take possession of my MS on Dec 2nd. P85+...
