    Failed Rear Lower Control Arm / Service Bulletin SB-19-31-001

    Here is the latest update on my situation. After having repaired what was broken (so they replaced the broken left lower control arm, replaced preemptively the right side, replaced a bunch of suspension related things that were also broken, not sure if those broke because the control arm...

    Failed Rear Lower Control Arm / Service Bulletin SB-19-31-001

    Thanks for pointing this out @MP3Mike . I'm surprised, but I'll trust their investigation. I still believe this part should not break that often, and the SC told me that the new parts I will get are at revision #4, which clearly indicates that there is a problem with the original parts (don't...

    Failed Rear Lower Control Arm / Service Bulletin SB-19-31-001

    After talking with the SC supervisor, it comes down to 7000$ to fix everything (it apparently includes a few other worn out suspension related parts that they noticed while looking at the car). They also agreed that this is not normal and dangerous, but it hasn't reached the state of being a...

    Failed Rear Lower Control Arm / Service Bulletin SB-19-31-001

    I am the latest victim of this dreaded lower control arm problem. It happened like many others, I had been driving on the highway for a couple of hours, coming back from vacation with my wife and kids in the car. No indications that this was going to happen, the car handled as usual. I exited...

    Ottawa Model 3

    I'd love to share your enthusiasm, but I'm afraid you'll learn the route between your house and Tesla Ferrier in Montreal... I've heard many rumors, but so far no SC planned in Ottawa. I got in touch with the Regional Service Manager, East Canada and he said that we should start seeing more...

    Model X in Canada - Status

    I'm so glad I've converted my X reservation for an S last September... In my opinion, the X is a very nice SUV, but not worth the price on the Canadian market. As I was told a couple of months ago by a TMC member, when you know you are going to spend a lot of dollars on a US product, you...

    Let the hacking begin... (Model S parts on the bench)

    And if you are into math, the SHA256 is a lossy function, which means you can't find the original input since different inputs could produce the same output. The SHA256 is a one-way function. Crypto is different, beside the fact that it appears like gibberish for most humans ;-)

    Anyone Reserving Model 3 in Montreal?

    by the end of March, it won't be as cold (I really hope so!) and you won't need to charge a lot to drive back (unless you have a 60kwh?). Find a plugshare user/public station and combine that with a little subway ride and you should be all set. I too am from Ottawa and I was also thinking...

    Eastern Canada Superchargers

    Last time I asked, the guy at the service desk in Montreal said they were planning for 6-8 stalls at Dix30 and about the same at Place Vertu.

    Record Snowfall in Ottawa

    I have a 85D and I got stuck too, right in front of my neighbor! I also used my snowblower to clear a path... I'll see tomorrow if I drive my SUV or not! ;-)

    Eastern Canada Superchargers

    I was at this supercharger earlier today and it is still out of order (so only 1 stall available). I was also there on the 24th and at one point, we were 6 cars in queue for a spot... The Montreal supercharger situation is ridiculous. They need to fix this.

    cryptic message

    I have been experimenting the same issue for the past 2 months. I took it to the Montreal SC and they have calibrated both the camera and the fron radar, but I'm still getting that message. Every time it happened, there was no sign of obstruction or there was no reason why it wouldn't work...

    Canadian Price Increase Imminent

    I had an appointment at Montreal SC last Friday and I was told that it would become a reality in April 2016... I don't know why he would be lying to me, so with Tesla's record of being on time, I think we should get a SC in Ottawa somewhere in the fall of 2016. And I must not be driving on the...

    Canadian Price Increase Imminent

    Contrats mikec8! My story is pretty much the same, but back in August (and a 85D instead of a 90D). I was originally going for a X (almost 1.5 year holding a reservation), but I had enough of swallowing multiple price increase. I am very happy with my S, hopefully you'll be too. Now we just...

    Car in for annual service, and received AP loaner

    Hum... I still have 10 days left to make a call on whether I should get that service plan or not. I have a S85D and I did 3500km in 6 weeks, so about 30,000km/year. I am really trying to find a valid reason to get that plan, but I can't. I was planning on calling HQ tomorrow and ask them to...

    Second Ottawa Area Tesla Owners Get Together - Oct 4, 2015

    I have contacted Montreal SC about this and Nov 14th is confirmed, but the location has yet to be chosen. But they will only install mounted tires, so basically someone will be there with a jack and an impact gun... I'm disappointed since I would have liked to see Tesla with a portable...

    Canadian Price Increase Imminent

    Thanks a lot guys for posting this! I'm so glad I'm reading those forums religiously. I have cancelled my Model X reservation (#562) and went for a Model S instead to avoid yet another price increase. I've confirmed the order Saturday and my design went up 8000$ this morning. 110k was my...

    Canadian Price Increase Imminent

    I tried to get that information from Tesla Store in Montreal and they said there will be a price increase in the next week or so, but he didn't know how much it would be and when exactly. If your info is right, that's valuable information for me since I am in the process of canceling my X...

    Falling Canadian Dollar

    No worries, it did not. :) I admit that this is/would be my biggest purchase after my house, and I am not involved often with international transactions. It's interesting to see the modus operandi of guys like you (I mean guys who are used to that kind of stuff). I did import a Japanese car...

    Falling Canadian Dollar

    Can`t say you are not right. It wouldn`t have absorbed the MSRP Tesla increase, but it would have helped for the latest price increase for sure. But I think it is easier said then done since if we were all that smart, we would have all seen it coming and a lot of people would cash in by...

    Falling Canadian Dollar

    That is a real downer for me. I'm really sad because odds are that not only I won't get an X, but even the S is slowly getting out of range. I have reserved my X about a year ago and at the time, Model S was much cheaper than it is now. I know that Model X will be a little more expensive than...

    Model X Price vs Cost of Oil

    I understand OP's points as I also live in Canada and our currency is not doing well right now. But I am old enough to know two things that will never change: 1- Banks will ALWAYS make money. 2- Gas price will ALWAYS go up. of course short term those might not be true, but long term history...

    Model X Delayed until Q3 2015

    I can understand why people are upset. We are all kids waiting for Xmas and who wouldn't be disappointed to see Xmas delayed! On my side I am getting a Tesla, it's a fact. I currently hold Model X reservation #562 in Canada, so December 2015/January 2016 is probably realistic. The thing that...
