We now have about 20 cars and 35-40 people.The two mentioned that vents are the same event. The drive electric week had the wrong time on its ads. The car rally starts at 10:00M at the Ottawa Ikea. We will have lunch and speakers in Smith Falls.

The drive starts at Ikea at 10:00 AM. Please let me know how many are coming as I need to advise the restaurant of how many will be coming. So far we have 14 Teslas and 1 Volt. We have at least 24 attending but I feel that number is low.

Sorry ended up with a duplicate

Any last minute attendees? Our dinner is on April 17 at 19:00 Rideau Restaurant, 500 Eagleson, Kanata Bob

We have done events, such as car rally’s on the weekend. However this time I am only in town in mid April before I start travelling again. I will keep the weekend idea open for the next Ottawa event.

There are two service reps in Ottawa. One came to my house when I had problems starting the car when I returned from my overseas trip. He lives in Rockland and I understand the other rep lives in Kanata. My problems were resolved easily. The rep who came to my home also mentioned that a...

Is anyone interested?

It has been some time since Ottawa Tesla Owners have a get together. We would encourage Old and New Tesla owners to come and join us to trade stories about your Tesla experiences and to meet fellow electric car enthusiasts. We have made a booking at the following Chinese restaurant for 19:00...

I use Beaverbrook Auto in Kanata to change my tires. I just drive up onto their hoist and then they raise it to level required to change tires. They have been doing this for me for over 4 years now - each spring and fall for tire changes. Price is reasonable as I have rims for both summer and...

Once my Model S handles open, either by walking by car or tapping FOB, the charger unlocks and is easily removed.

For Model 3 owners we have an Ottawa based Tesla owners club that meets once or twice a year. We missed the spring get together as I was swamped with our house renovation. Hopefully we will have a get together the last week of August to very early in sept as I am off again on Sept 05...

My son sent me this article about The negative Consumer report on the Model 3. The Tesla Model 3 is not good enough to earn a recommendation from Consumer Reports, the magazine said. While the car is exciting to drive, difficult controls and weak brakes prevented it from getting the...

When I had my 2014 S85 serviced in Toronto last week I was advised that 1300 Model 3’s are on the way to TORONTO. They will include large battery only, only rear wheel drive plus extras. Good luck to people who are waiting.

The HOV lanes make GV plates worthwhile, especially when visiting Toronto.

Mine is working as of 15:25 April 22 in Victoria BC. Back in Ottawa after our ASIA trip next Tuesday.

I originally connected to the Nema 14-50 but changed to the Tesla charger for a sturdier unit plus I decided to keep the cable in trunk of car to hook up at my son’s house when we visited him in Brockville. Electrician was Tom Bos ‭(343) 997-4673‬. He is very reasonable and cost depends on...

I have had my tires changed at Beaverbrook Auto in Kanata for the past 4 years. I drive in on their hoist and tires are rapidly changed for a very reasonable cost. They studied up on how to do our car the first time they changed tires.

“That’s frustrating. I don’t expect to see an Ottawa SC until we have hundreds of Model 3s locally. So a couple of years at best. I recently had some sevice that took two months to complete. The infamous door handles. This wasn’t Montreal‘s fault - they couldn’t get the parts. Everything was...

Good to know.

The last loaner we had was a Mercedes. Very leave when our S was finished it’s annual service.

I use it a lot especially in parking lots where there are high curbs. The lower setting automatically kicks in when I reach my set speed.

Doug Good summary as I read your notes again before returning to Canada from Australia in Mid-December. It is good to review suggestions before each winter. This will be our 4th winter with our S.

Saw an X yesterday driving by me in ASHBURTON, Victoria, Australia.

When I went to a resort in Virginia in March, my accommodation had a garage where I was able to Plug into the 120v Wall outlet. While not a lot of charge hourly, I did not need to use the car for five of the seven days I was there. As a result I had plenty of juice for local travel and return to...

I received your email Khalid. I have you down as coming.

I use the very high on the suspension all the time in parking lots. Even on very high I had problems with a concrete parking stopper! I would not have an S without it as the body is so low already.

Auto Bugatti did a fantastic job in repairing the bumper damage of our Model S. You cannot tell that work has been done. It appears to be a very modern facility catering to damage repairs for high end cars. I took train from Ottawa to Dorval to pick up car and Auto Bugatti picked me up at the...

I charged in Petawawa at Glenergy, 2669 Petawawa Blvd in July 2017. However it is not quick (L2) and there are no places to eat nearby. Also my destination was a golf tournament in Petawawa.

Unfortunately there are no approved Tesla body shops in Ottawa. The only Tesla approved shop close to Ottawa is in Montreal - Auto Bugatti, 733 Avenue Avocado, Dorval, H9P1G4 (514-636-8750). When I spoke to Tesla reps looking for a repair shop, I was advised that there may be a second approved...

We keep wishing but have heard nothing so far.

Has anyone found a suitable Tesla repair shop in Ottawa? I may need a new front bumper after an incident at the golf course today. Car was parked over a concrete parking block and when I reversed the block caught the front bumper and damaged it on both sides. I have heard there is a good...

Hi everyone We are planning a September 10 electric car rally (all electric cars welcome) from Ottawa to Merickville as part of the Ottawa commitment to the National Drive Electric Week. The Plan is 1. To depart at 10:00 AM from from IKEA at their electric charging area. 2. I am organizing a...

Since I posted my saga, I have had a call from Marlon Wilson, the new Service Manager in Montreal. He founds very professional and I see him fixing the apparent poor view of Montreal Service centre amongst Ottawa owners. We spoke for over 15 minutes. All possitive and ready to help us in...

Continuation: During conversation with Customer Service, they transferred me to Montreal Service centre. I was put on hold but finally almost 15 hrs after our emergency someone from Montreal spoke to me. Wednesday or Thursday, we hope to swap cars with a Ranger. To top it off when I returned...

Late last night when we were trying to return home from my son's place in Barrhaven to Kanata, we discovered that both my wife's and my FOB would not open the car doors. What to do at 01:30 AM. Called customer service which enabled us to enter car but vehicle would not start with either FOB. A...

We would love to have you join us. Just make certain that I have your e-mail address so that I can add you to the Ottawa list.

Numbers are low but those who attended had a great meal with great conversation. Planning on organizing a car rally for our next event in early Fall.

Could this be a potential service centre site for Tesla in Ottawa? This site is across the road from the Palladium Auto Park k
