Interestingly, I just got the exact same battery part number as a warranty replacement for my April 2015 Model S. ASY-HV BATTERY,90KWH,SX Part #: 1014116-00-B When I picked up the car on Sunday, there was 80.585 kWh of energy available at a 100% charge (watts per mile x projected range).

Tesla Service makes it clear. But I don’t see that listed in the exclusions in the warranty.

The latest Tesla Service text: “Thank you for scheduling an appointment , we have reviewed the details and found that this is a normal characteristic of your vehicle. With a recent software update, Tesla has updated the charge profile in the battery management system of some vehicles which can...

Not much guidance from Tesla in this FAQ that would explain why it now takes 50 minutes at a SuperCharger in order for me to get the 48kwh of power required to drive for two hours (80 mph at 300 watts per mile): Supercharging Does Supercharging affect my battery? The peak-charging rate of the...

We did not pay the $195 when we picked the car up. What amazes me is that the Service Reps appear to have been instructed to accept your description of the problem in a neutral manner without saying anything substantive or reassuring in reply. The Service Rep was quite patient and remained...

I like the drive through Maine, shorter distance, the drive through the Townships is pleasant, two lane roads keep it interesting through Maine, and I find the Trans Canada mind-numbing in the St. Lawrence Valley and through New Brunswick. The Supercharger in Magog is at a nice little mall with...

I will be moving from Ottawa to Washington. Hopefully I will not have the same challenges, given the following provision. "The following vehicles need not conform to emission or safety requirements but may NOT be sold in the U.S. and may require EPA and DOT declarations: ... Those belonging...

On our Ontario - PEI trips, we like driving one direction through Maine and the other through Canada. When driving through Maine, the drive between the Magog to either the Augusta or Brewer super chargers has worked well. We have enjoyed two-night stops in: the St. Andrews area for a day of...

Info on the Canada-Korea trade agreement is available here: Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement (CKFTA) "Upon full implementation of the CKFTA, virtually all bilateral trade will be duty-free."

How about every time an owner talks to tech support about something that requires follow-up, they request "Can you send that to the [Ottawa] [Quebec City] [Edmonton] service centre?"

Hopefully, the supercharger NW of Ottawa is in Renfrew rather than Pembroke. Renfrew at 100km is a bit close to Ottawa but allows for connections from Algonquin as well from North Bay. Renfrew is perfectly positioned when driving SE: 245km from the Huntsville supercharger and 265km from North...

My preferred route: Ottawa -> Magog (Lunch) -> Bangor, ME -> St. Andrews NB (overnight Rossmount Inn) -> Moncton (30 minute top up at Tim Hortons) -> PEI In both directions I drove conservatively between St. Andrews and PEI, drafting trucks or staying below 110 km/h.

Peter's Kitchen is a 1km walk south of the Supercharger in Comber. I dropped the family off before plugging in and then we all walked to get the car after eating. Peters Kitchen - Comber, ON

In Comber, we walked into town and ate a decent dinner at "Peter's Kitchen" with a whole bunch of locals.

I spoke with a friend on the weekend that would buy a Model X if there was a service centre in Ottawa.

I understand that the Montreal Service Centre hasn't had a manager for months.

313km from Ottawa to Syracuse Supercharger (temp 5 to 10 C) at average speed of 115km/h required 61.4kWh = 196 W/km. Not much around the Syracuse Supercharger other than a hotel, Kinney Drugs, and Dunkin Donuts. On the drive back, I skipped Syracuse to charge at the Watertown Supercharger so...

I still think that the drive through Maine is easier with Superchargers in Brewer and Magog. Charlottetown and Halifax are accessible to Montreal / Ottawa / Toronto with only a single overnight stay to charge at the Amsterdam Inn in Sussex, NB.

I shouldn't have stored my winter tires/wheels at the Montreal service centre. For those of you in Ottawa that also made that decision, the Montreal service centre has no plans for repeating last year's Ottawa tire changeover event. This was an initiative of the Montreal service manager and...

Revisiting this issue, i have a small dent in the aluminum door panel from someone opening their door into my car. Any recommendations for an Ottawa b body shop that could fix the dent?

i am still waiting for the software update, i seem to consistently be one of the last to receive OTA updates. any idea how one gets boosted up the priority list for software updates (other than calling each time)?

I have made it in an 85D to the Chademo at St-Tite-des-Caps, so Mont Sainte Anne should be within range, especially if you can plug in as soon as you arrive. Part of the challenge with a nighttime arrival in the Le Massif area is that one also needs enough power to get to the high powered...

The Levis (Quebec City area) supercharger would really be useful for winter travel, as one cannot get from the Drummondville Supercharger to the Le Massif ski area without some additional charging (going downhill from Le Massif to Drummondville is within range after a full destination charge)...

In Canada,. the 14-50 plug is frequently installed on a 40amp breaker, so 32 amps continuous is the maximum you can draw. This summer at a PEI rental cottage the stove 14-50 was on a 40amp breaker, so I used the new 14-50 adapter, drew 32amps, and charged worry free. At home I use the 14-50...

The Canmore Supercharger to Cranbrook is 299km and Cranbrook to the Couer d'Alene Supercharger is 250km. The point of the post was that relatively few additional Superchargers can greatly increase drivability in the short-term, until the optimal network has been built out.

I believe that superchargers along the TransCanada Hwy from Calgary to Southern Ontario should be a higher priority than supercharging I94 through North Dakota and Montana (given that I90 is already supercharged). It also does not take a fully connected network for superchargers to have their...

I drove Ottawa -> Magog (Lunch) -> Augusta, ME -> St. Andrews NB (overnight Rossmount Inn) -> Moncton (30 minute top up at Tim Hortons) -> PEI In both directions I drove conservatively between St. Andrews and PEI, drafting trucks or staying below 110 km/h.

I have driven Ottawa to/from Bala (via Haliburton/Bancroft) a number of times in an 85D, and Ottawa to/from Huntsville should be easier.

FYI, on travel from Ottawa to Toronto. The 308km drive from Ottawa to the Port Hope Supercharger required 59.2 kWh at posted + 15km/h via the old 417 -> 7 -> 37 -> 401 optimal route from before the 416 was built. That route saves roughly 35km versus taking the 416 and allows faster charging...

Yes, I meant to ask whether anyone has driven straight Ottawa-Magog without charging in between.

If anyone has driven the 325km straight from Ottawa to Rigaud (via the 30), how much energy did it take? I am looking for some real world data to supplement EV trip planner.

What is your plan for charging after Augusta?

Kingston is easily the correct response. It is 540km between Montreal and Toronto (Canada's two largest urban areas) and Kingston is roughly half way. It is 450km between Ottawa and Toronto (Ottawa-Gatineau is Canada's fourth largest urban area) and Kingston is roughly half way.

In winter, I have found that it is not feasible for an 85kwh car to get from/to Ottawa to/from Drummondville without charging. I believe that a Dix30 supercharger might get clogged with local residents and that a supercharger at the junction of the 40 and 30 in Vaudreuil-Dorion might better...

I think that it would make sense to move the proposed Sudbury supercharger to Espanola. That would provide better spacing, as it would be 200km from North Bay, 240 km from Sault Ste. Marie, and would connect with Manitoulin Island and the ferry to Tobermory. An Espanola supercharger would also...

Huntsville is very useful for trips from Ottawa to Muskoka or Georgian Bay, as Huntsville is 340km from Ottawa.

Ottawa to Drummondville Supercharger: EV trip planner says that an 85D can't make the 300km distance at -5C (75kwh required). So does it make sense to go a bit out of the way to stop at the Cornwall Supercharger and then take the 30? Or does the Cornwall to Drummondville route require waiting...

It would make more sense to encourage the owners of the 407 concession to install EV chargers that can only be accessed by paying to use their road.

IMHO the letter focuses too much on capabilities consistent with the recent past, while any public policy intervention should be focussed on bringing the future sooner. The letter argues for a purchase incentive for EVs with "minimum all-electric ranges of 50km", if you want to change the world...

It appears from PlugShare that le Massif now has two 80 amp Tesla HPWCs and a 48amp ClipperCreek in the parking lot at the summit. But no one has "checked in" yet. Is anyone able to confirm this information?

All six superchargers in Kingston were occupied for about 10 minutes around 6pm on Sunday evening, although with the flow in and out there was never a line-up. Further, my visits to the Toronto supercharger continue to be marked by more local folks than inter-city travelers, which combined with...

how charge rate effects efficiency One negative is that at lower charge rates, it takes more electricity to obtain the same amount of charging. From this data, it appears that most of the difference occurs when charge rates are below 6kw, and thus the move from 40 amps to 32 amps will result...

I agree, there is a lot of the country that needs coverage and both users and Tesla Motors should be making the easier, logical connections in places like B.C. (i.e. Cranbrook to connect Golden to Coeur d'Alene). Beyond that the emphasis should be on extending the network: on Vancouver Island...

Cranbrook to Golden is pretty much a standard 245km trip between superchargers (easy enough heading either north or south), while the 300km to Canmore is reasonable for an 85kw or 90kw car (a stop for coffee at the Kicking Horse Café in Invermere and its CS90 could make the trip easier in...

I have driven the 255km from Cranbrook to Coeur d'Alene without any difficulty, and Cranbrook connects well to the existing superchargers in Golden and Canmore (as it would to your proposed Fort MacLeod location). I think that 250km is a good target range for the initial roll-out of the...

Rather than speculate or dream, you could take a look at what the platform says, including: "Canada can be the world’s most competitive tax jurisdiction for investments in the research, development, and manufacturing of clean technology. We will consult on ways to enhance the scientific...
