    Ottawa Service

    A ranger just came to Ottawa a couple of days ago. Tesla service called me because I had called them about the 12 volt battery warning. The mobile service came and replaced my battery in my lane way. He said he comes out for the day once or twice a month from Montreal.

    It does seem to be worse than before.

    Firmware 8.1

    I too can't wait for the next release. However I am reminded of the story of people getting on the plane and the captain announcing that for the first time internet will be available to everyone and a large cheer is heard. Then 30 minutes into the flight the internet goes down and everyone is...

    Tesla doesn't like Canada :(

    There is also a 6.1% import tariff on the Model S.

    Model S: podcast problems - 192kbps limit

    I have the Premium Sound and get this problem all the time. It is really starting to bug me. Especially because it seems that I have to reboot the computer just to listen to a different podcast that I was listening to just before I got the error on the new podcast.

    I am looking for a pair of Grey leather Next Gen fronts seats for my 2014 Model S.

    Tesla doesn't like Canada :(

    Canadian cars cost more because of the extra regulations. So your simple math is incorrect because you don't take that into account.

    Tesla doesn't like Canada :(

    Not true. There are only 6 countries with more Superchargers than Canada. US, China, France, Germany, UK and Norway. Every other country has less than Canada and quite a few have a larger population. Italy, Spain, Japan, Mexico and Russia have less Superchargers and larger populations.

    Tesla doesn't like Canada :(

    Actually Tesla is doing what is most fair and it is the other car companies that basically manipulate their prices not on what something is worth but on how much they can squeeze out of you. A Canadian Tesla is not the same as a US Tesla. They are so different that you cannot import a US Tesla...

    Next Generation Seats

    Do the next generations seats have the same bolt pattern as the original seats?

    Anyone been to previous Tesla reveals? Unsure whether to go to Model 3 event

    I went to gigafactory opening and loved it. If you decide to go, I would love to be your plus one.

    Eastern Canada Superchargers

    Interesting that you bought a Volt because of the SC situation from a company that is doing nothing to set up a charging infrastructure. They actually have gone out of their way to stop Tesla from selling cars in Michigan and then their CEO bragged about how you can get service for the Bolt in...

    Eastern Canada Superchargers

    Here is something that might help. It did for me. Generally the Model S battery is equivalent to 3 gallons of gas which at 100 mpg is the range of 300 miles for the model S and at 10 cents a kWh will cost you $9.00 to fill up. Now I have rounded all the numbers to make it easier to calculate but...

    Nav 8.0 - UI not made for driving

    That is a personal preference you just stated.

    Nav 8.0 - UI not made for driving

    I haven't gone on a long trip yet with the new UI but currently I like it. Obviously many people don't but I think most of it is just personal preference and being used to doing it one way first and then having to change. Really Tesla will never make everyone happy. Just like Malcolm Gladwell...

    Forgot they did that. I'll have to pay more attention to that next time I go for a spin.

    Canadian 8.0 topic

    Got it and love it. Played with it for over an hour while I was charging. I always want the nav on top, love the way the nav zooms as you drive, like the extra map space, love the new media player, love the DJ stories with the music and don't mind the new look. All the complaining come be fixed...

    Have you ever sat through a software update?

    I'm not sure if the car remains locked. The exterior lights flash between 5 and 10 times. It would definitely draw attention to you in a public place.

    Have you ever sat through a software update?

    I know there have been lots of complaints about version 8 but I couldn't wait to get my Model S updated and so when my phone notified me that a new version was available I went out to the garage to install it. Normally I start it and leave but this time I decided to wait in the car and see what...

    "Consumers prefer dealers over Tesla model"

    Another example of a misleading headline followed by an even more misleading statement by the NADA chair.

    Eastern Canada Superchargers

    I have used the Kingston Supercharger almost ten times and been the only one there except twice when there was one other car. Lawrence is the only charger that always has lots of cars but the service center is always using several spots.

    Thanks. That explains it. How can you tell which software version is part of 7 and which is part of 8?

    This is the screen shot. Shows 452 active cars and no version 8.0.

    Does anyone using TeslaFi have version 8? I looked at the software updates since it was released and at one point there were two Model X's and now it shows 452 active cars and no one with version 8.

    Elon: No Discounts !

    I'm sorry. Elon is the most credible public person I have followed. He was replaced in Paypal (the only company he was replaced in) but was man enough to not rock the boat and came out with the most money of anyone there. I have watched hours of interviews and read countless articles and he is...

    Elon: No Discounts !

    I'm just saying that all other dealers have been doing this forever and people still buy cars each month.

    Elon: No Discounts !

    Perfectly put.
  31. RedP85+

    Elon: No Discounts !

    Yes because discounting a car stops people from buying ICE cars from a "dealer network" that is there to protect us from the unscrupulous car manufacturers.

    Alliant CU bait and switch

    True, one of many factors. The formula for this score is proprietary and no one knows exactly how it is calculated. Basically banks lend you money when you don't need it and get scared off when you do.
  33. RedP85+

    Elon: No Discounts !

    That's the point he does do what he says. Sometimes the timeline is wrong but I have never see someone under so much scrutiny be so consistent. There is no evidence that he knew about the discounts only speculation.

    Alliant CU bait and switch

    Sure but I would never deal with a bank that is that unforgiving. The delay was not his fault. Really, stupid not to use common sense here.

    Alliant CU bait and switch

    I had a bad experience with TD and BMO in Canada too. No where near as bad as yours though. I tell every person I can about it. By letting people know their practices is the only way we can get any change.
  36. RedP85+

    Elon: No Discounts !

    Seriously after all the consistency that Elon has shown all this time, you are all so quick to throw him under the bus. So a few people got a discount. Maybe Elon knew what was going on but I will give him the benefit of doubt based on how consistent he has been so far. Still orders of magnitude...

    Annoying.... don't add a feature if it doesn't work perfectly

    Pretty much any website that I use on my laptop except email. That is the only thing I use my phone for unless I have nothing else to use. Mainly news electrek.co, teslarati.com, teslawind.com, chargehub.com and others. It is slow but I've adjusted by waiting for it to catch up before doing...

    An Unhealthy Obsession

    You are not alone. I was also obsessed (still am) and then one day my wife said the magic words. "Just shut up and go buy one". She didn't have to repeat it. Within a week I purchased a CPO P85+ and I feel it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I am still obsessed but I found this...

    It's true that it isn't the best browser and I have had many frustrating exchanges with it but I still use it every day and would be very unhappy without.

    Is Auto-pilot harsh on brakes?

    This is especially true in places with snow, ice and salt. I consciously use my brakes firmly at least once every time I drive.

    Tesla's 2016 supercharging map

    Watertown NY popped up finished from nowhere. I agree however that the pace seems to have slowed. I check supercharger.info several times a day and the pace has slowed recently. It is no secret that Elon is trying to show profit this quarter so cutting back on sites would be part of this strategy.

    Ottawa Service

    I just drive to Montreal. Any excuse to drive my Tesla. It's a lot easier to get an appointment in Montreal than Toronto. I didn't expect a service center in Ottawa when I bought it.

    Newbie Charging Questions

    I have used 120 V only a couple of times and the few extra miles just give me the ability to go a little faster without getting too low before the next Supercharger but I never count on 120V or worry if there is one.

    Is Auto-pilot harsh on brakes?

    I tried a P90D for several hours and was in stop and go traffic. I definitely think that the AP used the brakes a lot more than I do when I drive my non AP P85+ in traffic. I love how little I use the brakes in my non AP Model S even in stop and go traffic.

    3G connectivity issues since V6.xxx
