Brought up a paywall but searching for the title get's the short story through a different link. The conclusion is cost based rather than longevity or quality, but cool nonetheless: The results showed Tesla’s batteries cost $111 per kilowatt-hour of charge, which are $37/kWh or $2,800 per...

Presumably an attempt to cash in on a shortage by stockpiling limited inventory. Given the lack of expected functionality, not even worth $150

Awesome. Smart people rock.

Same error message since my car received the ver. 9 upgrade, and it hasn't disappeared. Service centre reviewed logs and I have an appointment on Oct. 24th - apparently the review showed a "connection or camera issue" - it's a long wait to address a flashing yellow error message in my IC.

An excellent question. I had NanoCrystal done on my Model S by Burnaby Auto Spa for about $500, and it's been excellent over the 18 months I've had the car. Don't know if this is a "lesser" product...

From the website it looks like about $1,500.

The red one is mine :)

I don't see how a placeholder makes sense - I see a 286xx through the shopping cart.

My guess is that there will be a swarm of Model 3s unleashed on BC for the long weekend.

I don't think any have been delivered in BC, based on discussions with the folks at the West 4th store in Vancouver, and if they know why Ontario got so many weeks of a head start, they aren't sharing.

Totally disagree - I'm also in "industry", in my case the Medical Device Industry, and design changes affecting manufacturing happen at a rate of many a week - significant changes that replace major sub-systems happen many times a year for products early in their life-cycle. .

I have the new maps in Vancouver - got them over a week ago, a few days after getting 18.12

I've had the same message from my SC - firmware fix in the next few weeks.

Turning on and off meaning turning off all power to the car, or just exit and lock?

Same here, also Dec 2016 MS75D. Vancouver service have checked it twice and because it's intermittent they give it back with a "functioning as designed". Within a few minutes of driving away I've got no front sensor information showing in the IC again. Incredibly frustrating. I don't think...

Looks like 12 stalls according to my wife.

Read the 33 plus page "Uncorking official for most 75Ds!" thread for everything you need to know and a lot that you don't.

Totally agreed. Taking it apart is how they came up with a list of parts to order from Tesla to begin with. Sadly, I'm speaking from recent experience. On the plus side, my shop in Vancouver is top notch and they're not winging it.

I don't see any mention of more detail about cars ahead in the release notes. I received this a few days ago and don't see any difference.

What's the update? That's the first step in determining if anyone's tried it.

Done it many times, and in my car it doesn't add up. There's energy use that's not accounted for in the Wh/mi displayed - either that or my battery is a lot smaller than advertised.

This.... Best explanation I've read for the issue I think the OP was describing (and which I've asked about in the past to no avail).

I'm fairly sure the OP is talking about the same "anomaly" I started a thread about when I first got my car last year: multiplying the Wh/mi by miles traveled doesn't equal the percentage of battery consumed. Example: I have a 75D, it's supposed to have about 72 kWh of capacity in reality, if...

There was a long thread about this a month or two ago. I had identical symptoms to yours and problem was addressed by firmware. I'd keep pushing if I were you. The idea that this was an intermittent connection issue was floated in that thread but that doesn't match the symptoms.

No lineups at Hope, Merritt or Kelowna any time I've been there - max two cars.

Yup, it's not that they think we're superior and deserving of rock star parking, it's just cheaper to put the spots the closest electrical run from the building.

Agreed that based on CV, Karpathy seems a better fit, but the six month tenure for Lattner isn't encouraging. Possibly he was hired in desperation. Given his tweet, I'd say it wasn't his choice to leave.

I have a Chademo you can use for the trip if it would help.

I guess in the end it's all good for all of us, an infrastructure that completely removes range anxiety from potential EV owners hastens the transition. I would not be inclined to trust GM with the future of sustainable transport, however, but maybe that's just me.

Absolutely no way that Tesla will make a deal on SC access - it's the killer app that prevents any current or on the horizon EV from being competition.

Whaddya mean they aren't great? Is that a thing?

The problem with that is there's probably no FSD for a couple of years at least - so this dash is going to be it. I'm reserving judgement at the moment.

I'm not sure what the prevalence is of the foam in Tesla tires, or when it became standard, but mine certainly has it - was a pain in the butt to find a replacement in stock when I had a flat that couldn't be repaired. Car was disabled sitting on the flat for two days until my SC opened and the...

Does fix-a-flat work on a tire with a sound deadening foam ring? I'd have thought that would make it less likely to seal.

Tesla's roadside assistance partners don't have spares in Vancouver Canada, so presumably plenty of places you'd be faced with a flat bed tow to service centre (which very conveniently operates banking hours).

Fantastic. What did they have to do?

This seems to be a bit of a hazy mystery, I posted something similar to the above when I first got my car, using consumed battery percentage and kWh used to work out the capacity of my battery resulted in capacity of 55 kWh or so.

I'll be scared to install it until I know it doesn't rebreak my AP! One of you should go first :)

I got it two days ago - my country was set to US for some reason. I'd been having the missing AP features issues since 8.1, so I was probably prioritized.

The speed limit showing at all after starting a drive is inconsistent with my experience, and how it's been described in this thread. Either there's nothing at all or everything works until you park and leave the car. Showing some AP features for a minute or two and then disappearing is very...

Same here. No guarantee that it'll last I guess, but something has definitely changed since 17.17.4, I've had at least 6 drives with AP every time, something I haven't had since the week after 8.1 was released.

Firmware issue as in the AP features are all missing?

Okay. I had the message "Contact Tesla Service for manual calibration " which prevented me from getting high speed autosteer after 8.1 was released. My SC did the camera pitch angle adjustment (there's a photo of my service invoice earlier in the thread) and that addressed things until I then...

Unfortunately the 17.7.4 seems (seemed?) to be the only solution right now. Did it initially give you functionality back which then disappeared? Did you ever get a message about manual calibration required when you did have AP features? I was scheduled for an ECU replacement tomorrow at my SC...

Worked every time on a series of drives this evening. Cautiously optimistic.

Wow that's bad news. I got the update this evening and on the first drive after all worked. Will drive again in a few minutes.

I have too and was also told I was priority for the fix. Didn't occur to me for a second I'd get an older one with zero apparent changes and no fix to the problem.

What the heck. I got 17.16.35. What a joke.

The update is downloaded to my car already. I'm not usually first wave so maybe that's a good sign.
