Heard a piece on the CBC yesterday that quoted a person from Autotrader that used Teslas are taking twice as long to sell as non EV’s. In General prices have dropped 10% as early adaptors are putting their cars on the used market in order to move up to ‘24 models. Elon is dropping prices on new...

Just had four new tires installed and so think I should get an alignment. Did it a few years back at what is now a Kal tire shop in Ottawa. At that time the tech had trouble keeping the car in neutral. Should I go there again or go to the SC where they clearly know how to do this?

Currently running Michelin X-ice for snows and Vredstein Quattro Pro rest of the year. Separate set of wheels for each. When I removed my snows off this week my mechanic told me the snows are at 7 and the all seasons at 5. As I live in Ottawa where we get real winter still, I think I need to...

Quite a few parking garages we have used enroute to Miami Beach have level 2 slow chargers , which we have been using. Never really sure what the rate is but have people found them generally a good deal if you don’t need the much quicker Super chargers?

Driving Ottawa to Miami in a couple of weeks and will be spending a few nights at a relatives house in Raleigh where I have access to their dryer plug for quicker charging. Is it worthwhile buying an extension cord that will accommodate for quicker charging? TIA

I am having some gremlins going on with my pre heat pump 20 M3. Earlier in tye month horn stoped working and then started working again after I made an appointment with SC which I cancelled. Today the heater was blowing cold air, despite being cranked up to 25! I was wearing my hat and gloves...

Slow car in front of me this morning , not moving so went to honk, nothing! Have owned about 10 cars and never had this happen, pretty surprised. 20’ M3 Going to service it tomorrow.

Driving to Miami from Ottawa and our first stopover the hotel has stay n charge branded level 2 and I was wondering if it is worth using ? Should I just use the supercharger or use this overnight? Thoughts? M3 long range .

Heading down to the Sunshine State for 3 weeks leaving February 10 from Ottawa. Should I take off my snows and put on my all seasons, for the trip? I expect there will be another month of winter once I return home to the capital, so a little unsure of what to do. Thanks!

Leaving Monday and was wondering if folks have made this trip recently ? Will leave with a full charge so probably have to charge enroute. Any recommendations about where to charge? Thanks!

I am sure many have got more mileage but I felt this is the right place to share this news😁

I have deleted the app and reinstalled, hard booted the car, restarted my iPhone 13 and still having no luck stating without using the card. No issues before for 3 years. Are others having issues? Looks like I may have to make an appointment as this is super inconvenient.

This week the passenger back rest has stopped working in my 2020 M3. Any suggestions or do I need to make a service appointment?

Just noticed that the passenger seat has lost it’s ability to recline in my just out of warranty 20 M3. Anyone else have this happen? Everything else works fine .

Just wanted to give a shout out for the Philips Square Hotel in downtown Montreal. Other than being a great reasonably priced hotel they also fully charge your car when parked in their garage. I was at 125 kms on check in and am now 100 % charged. Makes the valet parking virtually free for EV...

Had all four control arms/ bushing etc replaced under warranty. Now hearing an annoying creaking sound that seems to be coming from the rear. Opened and closed seats, emptied trunk, sound is still there . Thoughts?

I made an appointment on the app and asked if it can be programmed and they replied they want to set up a visit to diagnose without answering if it is possible. Not really keen on paying for a visit, only for them to tell me it can’t be done as my 20’ model does not have the capability. Does...

With over 190 CMS of snow so far this winter in Ottawa, I have been using the often overlooked ( by me) slip start feature. It has worked super well and gotten be out of unplowed parking spaces several times this year.I have Michelin x-ice tires on but they did not work until I engaged the SS...

I convinced my neighbour to get a Y and he is super happy with it, except he is wondering where to charge in Oshawa where he is going for a hockey tournament. His hotel does not offer charging. Any suggestions from folks who live in the land of GM?

Got stuck in a huge snow bank during a bad parking job and now the cover is missing one of the screw/clips that holds it in place. It will not stay in place with one clip. Should I just leave it off or worthwhile sourcing a new screw to reattach?

Just under 80,000 kms in less then 3 years so my basic warranty is almost over. The car has been great with the exception of the suspension/rattle issues that have been basically replaced on all 4 corners;) Would like to hear from folks who have Model 3's out of warranty and what their...

I have 75,000 kms on my 2020 M3 and it has been suggested by an independent Tesla mechanic that it is a good idea to perform a brake fluid flush. The car is just under 3 years old and no issues with the brakes. Are folks doing this as a matter of preventative care? Is it something that should be...

I have a little over 75,000 kms so am thinking about having a Tesla centric mechanic take a look at my car now to see if anything is soon to fail etc. Have folks been doing this ? I know people have mentioned Wheeler Auto in the back of beyond ;) but I am not sure it is worth a drive from the...

Just got a rock chip in Ottawa, who have folks used please?

Recently noticed that my M3 ‘20 with 70k mileage on it sounds like it is straining. Very noticeable in the drivers seat, not so much in the front passenger seat. Reminds me of an ice engine that the motor is wanting to be upshifted . Anyone else experiencing this? My new Vredstein tires...

For the last several days have been unable to pair my iPhone 13 with my M3. Took the app off and reinstalled, did the hard two button reboot, neither solved the issue. Any suggestions?

Taking my car in tomorrow to have them diagnose another suspension rattle issue and they asked me to approve the $260.00 repair cost, even though the car is still under warranty. Why do they structure their billing this way? Never seen this with other brands I have owned when clearly doing...

I had Suntek Ultra PPF put on the front of my car in December 2019 when brand new. I just noticed when washing the car today that it is lifting slightly in the front bottom corner of the bumper and trapping dirt that is super noticeable under the film. I have had this on numerous cars and never...

Took our Prius in for service and was surprised to see several very shiny Performance 3's and Y's for sale.They had super low kms, like 75, 115 etc and according to the Carfax guide were from Quebec and ownership was originally lease's. Very odd I thought!

Going to be skiing here next week, saw chargers at Massif on Plugshare, but none showing at Mont St Anne? Can any fellow skiers confirm please.

A friend with a Y needs some work on his door after meeting a pillar in his underground garage. Has anyone had any work done through an Ottawa shop on their Tesla they can recommend please?

Strange occurrence when I opened up my car this morning and found that the drivers seat was fully reclined. Has anyone else experienced this or should I be talking to my 16 year old that I just gave access to the car to?

Looking to put a Tesla wall charger up at my chalet . Does anyone have one that they are interested in selling before I order? Successfully got one from a member here last year for my cottage so hopefully there is another one out there?

Up at my chalet and so only have 110 charging.Plugged it in at 3 pm yesterday, car was at 74kms range.Woke up this morning and it has not moved at all. Sentry not on. Any suggestions please?

Hopefully the first and last recall for my 2020 M3 came this morning . Happily it is the only one received in 2 years of ownership.

Never used my Sentry after almost 2 years of ownership. Just ordered the Tesla usb stick . Is it simply a matter of plugging it into one of the ports and I am good to go? Can the clips be viewed on the screen in car?

Visiting relatives in Newmarket and need to wash the car. Any suggestions of touchless places near Leslie Valley please?

Heading up tomorrow and was wondering if the destination chargers are free to use at the hill ? Not expecting too many people there mid week so hoping to charge while having the first ski of the season.

My spouse took a long trip in the 3 and now I have a ton of music choices crowding up my choices.How do I delete them please?

I installed the removable eco hitch a few years ago and have been taking it off every winter when my snow tires are installed. I left it on this month as I wanted to use my 1up bike rack for a few more rides and needed the hitch. Now I am thinking why not just leave it on all year round? Any...

A colleague bought a Y last December and got a free years worth of supercharging as a last quarter incentive. I referred her so we also both got the 1500 supercharging bonus to use in 6 months. She is coming to the end of her free year and asked me if I knew if her 1500 will kick in after that...

Recently purchased and received a set of Vredstein Quatrac Pro tires to replace the dreaded OEM Michelins that were cooked after 25,000 kms. I have yet to receive a bill for the customs tax that I have gotten in the past from ordering from the US. Is it just late or has something changed in...

I have owned my M3 for just under 2 years. It has been a great car despite the suspension issues that have just resulted in having replaced both control arms on the front and both knuckles on the rear. All four corners now have had the suspension worked on. When I asked the service rep this...

Was at the Tesla store today and was struck by how bright the red model is looking. When I bought my white model 2 years ago I passed on the red as it was sort of dull. Is it just me or have they amped up the colour?

Bought my M3 in 2019 and got the huge tax deduction as I use it for business . I am contemplating gifting my current car to my spouse, no tax owed, and pulling the trigger on a 2021 M3. Has anyone here ever gotten the tax write off twice, any issues? My accountant thinks I would need to transfer...

Sounds like some sort of warning beep, but I can’t figure out what is causing it. Happens at low speeds driving through city streets . Some early preventive warning noIse, like watch out, don’t hit that parked car you just drove by. Thoughts ?

This morning at -15 went out to my car to retrieve something and got a blast of hot air when I opened the door. Checked my app and saw the climate was turned on and a red battery sign was present with a snowflake inside. I have never seen this icon before and was wondering if this is part of...

I plan on installing a new generation 2 wall charger at my chalet, does anyone know if I would qualify for the provincial rebate? It is not my permanent home, so not sure if this disqualifies me?

-17 today and opened the frunk to get something out...now it won’t lock. Next service appointment is December 21st! Any suggestions?
