    Creaking noise (control arm again!)

    This happened to me a couple years ago. There are a number of YouTube videos for injecting grease under/through the rubber seal. I'm sure you can find them doing a quick search. You might need to buy the grease gun and needle to do it, but that's going to be way cheaper than replacing them. I'm...

    Looking for independent service in the Lower Mainland

    Thanks for the tip. Before I read your reply, I made an appointment with Tesla for an inspection, cost was $222. They found problems with suspension at both front and back. Replaced front lower lateral links on both sides and rear upper fore links on both sides under warranty. Hopefully that...

    Looking for independent service in the Lower Mainland

    My 2019 Model 3 will be out of warranty soon. Does anyone have a recommendation for an independent shop in the Lower Mainland that can service the car? I'd like to have them look it over now before the warranty is done to see if there's anything that should be repaired on Tesla's dime.

    For those who live in BC, off-peak charging may become a thing

    Does charging the car and running the dishwasher overnight use enough electricity to pay for the hit we'll take for the 4 - 9 pm period? I already use scheduled departure with departure in the early morning.

    Calling all SR+ Owners! Mileage/battery health?

    2019 SR+ 50,490 km (31,400 mi). Current 100% range is 355 km (220.5 mi). According to the Stats application, that is "better than 93% of other similar cars with similar mileage." It probably says that to everybody :)

    Wouldn't Miles/Wh Make More Sense?

    One measures consumption, the other efficiency. Living where I do and because I'm old, I've used both miles per gallon and litres per 100 kilometers. I prefer consumption, so watt-hours per kilometer is good for me.

    Teslas in Italy, are like unicorns…

    Did you like the way they turn two lane highways into two plus a passing lane right up the middle? That takes a few instances to get used to it.

    Canada - FSD rollout

    I'm all set with my safety score of 93 or 94, depending on the day. Phantom Forward Collision Warnings are a killer! Maybe Elon will let me in this time.

    Pressing button on mobile charger doesn’t open charge door

    I had this issue as well. Mobile service tech said the handle was faulty, replaced the mobile charger. Good since then.

    Canada Rogers Network impacts - no remote access?

    US wireless is a complete mess of corruption and malfeasance, just like Canada's. There's more money involved and US politicians are more open about their corruption, so it may be worse.

    Differences between US vs Canadian Model 3

    I thought that import taxes are waived for cars made in USA.

    Canada - FSD rollout

    Will decelerating with regen only ding you for hard braking? I thought it would not, but I think it must after my 97 drive today. Anybody know for sure?

    Recent trade-in experience with a non-Tesla vehicle?

    Spncr, They will give you a very low offer for your trade. Typically that is the wholesale value of the car. They will not change the offer when you bring in the trade.

    Drivers seat found fully reclined this morning

    I wonder if there’s anything else that a 16 year old would be interested in that would be better with the seat reclined.

    2021 M3 SR+ heated steering wheel available

    On my 2019 model year SR+, I see that I can buy only the rear seat heaters for $270. No mention of the heated wheel.

    Is it okay to switch the side mirrors to wide angle?

    If you are tall (like me), you will not be able to adjust the driver’s side mirror far enough outward. I took part in a group buy for convex mirrors without the blue tint from Suma. They’re great. They keep the defrost function, but lose the auto dimming, as noted by yourhero. I can still see...

    Charge port not opening

    Try to gently get a finger under the bottom of the charge port door and pry it open. It should pop open after you put a small amount of force into it.

    Premium Connectivity in Canada

    To use Spotify in your car if you have premium connectivity, you enter your existing Spotify credentials into the app in the car. You can also use Bluetooth to stream Spotify from your phone without premium.

    Premium Connectivity in Canada

    I have an SR+, ordered May/June 2019, delivered August 2019. I never had premium connectivity (and with an SR+, I didn't expect it) until it rolled out as a monthly paid subscription. I paid for a couple of months, and then it became free, and it's stayed that way since then. Maybe the language...

    Model Y should be $6500 cheaper in Canada

    Almost all EV purchasers will see the rebate as an encouragement to buy. There are very few who will ignore the incentive, they are the ones for whom the rebate is irrelevant. So it's a simple question - do you want to encourage people to buy EVs? If you are going to do that with rebates on the...

    Premium Connectivity in Canada

    I've subscribed to premium since it was offered in the spring. My monthly subscription payment date is the 18th. Today is the 19th and there has been no charge on my credit card yet this month.

    Does FSD reduce the range?

    FSD does a bad job of easing the braking. It is quite a bit more abrupt on the brakes than a good driver.

    Some good news for EV's in Canada!

    Completely agree. How much per job are we paying to keep Ford going? The established automakers are in danger of going broke when the world goes electric - except for the money our governments shovel to them. Tesla expects to be building 20+ million cars within a decade. Which automakers are...

    All season tires for MX

    Have you considered summer tires like the Michelin PS4S. If you have dedicated winter tires, these would give you better performance and safety than an all season tire.

    Good portable air compressor for the Model 3?

    I've been using this one for just over a year. It's worked well for what I've needed it to do, which is add pressure when tires get low. I've never had to fill a tire from empty, but that wouldn't be quick.
