    TSLA five-for-one split in a TFSA

    We know the potential because we drive a Tesla. Still put a smile on my face when I am on the driver seat.

    TSLA five-for-one split in a TFSA

    I deal with US stock market exclusively on my RRSP and TFSA, in TFSA, they just withhold 15% dividend for IRS. Stock split has no issue whatsoever, so rest assured! Just enjoy the ride up, I am :)

    Sherway Superchargers etiquette

    Used to charge there early last year before Mississauga one is opened , there was a bin. It is a convenient place but it is only 75W.

    Return FSD

    I know what you mean, they cut you off even though it is a traffic jam. If you are on autopilot, Tesla will slow down to let them in. Oh well. I take comfort that I am in the safest car money can buy. At least with Basic autopilot, I now have time to scan around to make sure there are...

    Return FSD

    We were fully aware of what to expect when they have the discount last March, there shouldn't be any surprise. At that time, everyone thought that the cost of HW upgrade alone was sufficient to cover the additional cost, and I agreed with the observation. However, I didn't do the full upgrade...

    AWG 8 wire with 50amp breaker

    I am using AWG 6 with 50 AMP Breaker to a 14-50 socket, and the wire stays cool, may get a little bit warm. I am using mobile adapter that only draws 32 AMP. When it comes to electricity, why are you risk it??? DO it properly and have a good night sleep. Remember, it is charging overnight and...

    Used 2018 Model 3 LR RWD Depreciation

    Let's not forget the savings when we drive a Tesla. I am now close to 50K, 14 months into ownership. At $1/7Km compared to driving my C300, I have already saved $7K ish, let alone the maintenance cost and whatnot. Honestly since when driving a luxury car saves you money.

    With all the Petro Can and CTC EV growth do I invest in a CHAdeMO?

    Option is always better than no options. For MexiCanuck, it makes complete sense to get one, not because his time is worth more than us lol. It is the convenience and security we are after. Really, if I am stuck in the middle of nowhere, and I can pay to get a quick charge, I will jump on it...

    The cost to fill my Tesla each day

    You have to be fair, those delivery and admin fees are something you have to pay regardless whether you use electricity or not. That is, if you don't have EV, you still pay for it.

    Intermittent noise from back wheels on acceleration

    In my case, it sounds more like there is a bump in the tires, so I will get the noise on a constant interval. It only happens when I first start driving in the morning and only when it's cold outside, and it will disappear by the time I drive 15 blocks or so from my neighborhood. After that...

    Model 3 SR+ RWD owners. How do you survive GTA winter snow driving ?

    The range is not even a concern to me anymore, though I'm driving LR RWD. I know for a fact is in GTA, if you are low in range, a quick 5 minutes stop in Supercharger is all I need. Yes, not having to freeze to death trying to pump gas is Heaven Send. I just love it.

    Model 3 with battery popping sound while charging, should I be worried?

    They did change the breather valve for me free of charge.

    Does Canada get all the features of 2019.40.50.1?

    I had the same feeling when it was offered at a discount. I didn't take it since it's a tad too much. I just have Basic AP and use it in 401 and my long distance trip, work just great. I don't need a FSD.

    where to find NOKIAN HAKKAPELIITTA R3 winter tires beside Kal Tire?

    Check WheelsCo - Canada's #1 Source For Performance Alloys & Tires, they are in Concord (GTA), that's where I got my R3, hope they still have those available.

    Model 3 Standard Range (Canada) Range: 150km

    You guys are just like back in the old days with Hybrid car. What is the diff between 135 km and 139 km. In the ICE age, your car will stop telling you the range when it's almost empty. Those number are just estimate. I use percentage, I drive a LR RWD, in a good day, I multiple by 5, in a...

    Ontario Buyers: Green Plates vs Normal Plates

    Lol, someone from the other lane (a driver) took a picture of my car and inside of it, I am the lone driver. Must be thinking that I misused the HOV. lol. Green Plate, most don't know what they mean.

    M3 sr plus winter range question

    Yes, range is very important here. On the other hand, in the odd day when you find yourself is short on range, if there is a SC along your route, you can always spend 5 to 10 minutes there and you will be fine again. SR+ will get you rebate as well.

    Scheduled departure

    I mean if it wants to know the time period I like to charge, Tesla can ask me. I thought a combination of start charge at (7pm in my case), and depart at 6 am should be all the information it needs to do a educated charging. And if Tesla wants to learn, please learn it in off peak hours. it...

    Scheduled departure

    Doesn't seem to work. I schedule it to depart at 6 am. However, as soon as I plug it in, it starts to charge (during the peak charge period). I cancel the charge, and it reverted to depart at 6 am, then it starts to charge again. I now go back to my old routine, i.e start charge at 7 pm.

    am I making a mistake

    Range anxiety is real. The real question is if there is a range problem along the route, how soon can you get charged, or close is supercharging station from you. In GTA, supercharging station is quite convenient. I drive a LR RWD, range won't be a problem and if I need a quick 5 minutes...

    Tesla recommends cleaning and lubricating all brake calipers every 12 months or 20,000 km

    Just did the brake lube today, the car seems to be quieter even with the Nokian R3 on, lol, may be I am just dreaming.

    Road trip to Atlanta

    My path to PVD has at least 10 SC along the way, never feel anxious. Besides, have to stop for nature calling anyway. To be fair, I know it's stressful and long drive for ICE. $70 vs $1200 round trip. Flying, assuming no delay, may save me 10 hours total and I have to rent a car when I reach...

    Road trip to Atlanta

    I drove to Providence, IR last month, weather was good, five 15 to 20 min charging stop (20 to 30% left), no range anxiety at all. Like everyone here, even a Basic Autopilot is a God Send, so relaxing and actually kind of fun. Beware, most people, like me, has M3 LR for the long distance trip...

    New (to me) feature of overhead view...

    After driving the car for almost a year, I actually like how M3 handles the blind spot. In Toronto, if it alerts you every time there is a car in your blind spot when you signal, it will become annoying pretty fast. Tesla only alert you if you may collide with another car, it may even steer...

    Toronto to Providence

    Like to share the driving experience in this trip. Overall, it is just GREAT with Tesla. A better Route Planner and Tesla indicate that I only need to charge two times, it actually takes 4 to 5 charges because I don't want to risk it (20% to 25% left), the weather is kind of cold, 8 to 10...

    Toronto to Providence

    Going to do a trip next week. Plenty of Superchargers along the way, so it shouldn't be a problem. The only issue is charging at Providence, RI, Destination and/or supercharging are lacking there, we don't have access to regular electrical outlet :(. I read a story that they are opening up a...

    Anyone having issues with Caraoke?

    It is WORKING for me, so fun.... Had a round trip this morning to Pickering along 401, all songs are working and it's wonderful. To be honest, all the songs are my favorites, may not even need to use Spotify. Of course Spotify is nicer but it's only free for 1st 3 months. lol. How much fun...

    Dirty HEPA Cabin Air Filter replaced

    Yes, Model 3 LR RWD. Order it through Tesla service. $21 each. They can install it for $40 ish., but if you watch YouTube, it is not that difficult. However, I would recommend you use wrench with the T20 because it is a tight area. The flexible shaft that you saw in YouTube may not last. The...

    Dirty HEPA Cabin Air Filter replaced

    No, I don't smell anything there. The problem I had is when I first have the car, I don't smell anything from outside, esp those weed smell, now I can. Hopefully with the replacement, I'm back to clean air again. lol

    V10 in Canada - what will it come with?

    No cell data access because it is on Tesla's bill, that's for sure. My understanding is SR and SR+ don't get LTE unless it is an emergency OTA push.

    Asked to see car first.

    62K? not too bad, I'm at 35K in 9 months. So I'm pretty damn close to what you are. I'm guessing quite a few people is in the same boat. To me, I don't think it will be worse than a ICE as far as warranty is concerned. What can go wrong, we only have one motor, not too many moving part.

    [GTA] Model 3 Winter Tires Group Buy - featuring FAST EV01+ and more!

    The problem with getting this from eBay is if they don't work, it will be a problem trying to ask them to troubleshoot or fix it. It's not their TPMS, it is not reasonable to ask them to change or fix it. For a savings of $100, I probably won't bother. This TPMS may need to be calibrated or...

    The cost to fill my Tesla each day

    My calculation is very simple My Mercedes C300 uses premium gas. I average it at 7 km per dollar. That is it will cost me $14 for 100 km. It takes 2 hours to charge 100 KM in model 3, and at 8 KW per hour, it will take at most $1.60 to get 100 KM (at $0.08 a kw, with everything else, it will...

    Power Liftgate install in the GTA

    I look at the installation video, it seems easy, BUT there are so many moving parts. Like put up a garage door opener, yes, I can do it, it will take me longer than the professional, but doable. One thing I learn over the years, unless I'm sure I can finish it, I won't start the project. I...

    Temporary Maintanence Error

    Got this on my mobile app, it seems to be happening everywhere. Tesla server is down just in case anyone wonders. However, the phone can still unlock the car and drive. Of course, the take way is always put your key card in your wallet just in case.

    US model 3 vs Canadian model 3

    FYI, we did export our Honda Civic to USA without any problem, doesn't even need to go through importer. All we do to do is put in a after market TPMS installed by a tire company here in GTA.
