    I live in Ottawa and am having no issues with my toyo celcius all weather tires on the MY.

    Recent heat pump failures - software issue?

    I have a Nov 2020 build MY with 30000km, live in Ottawa. Already had the PT sensors replaced as part of the soft recall. 2021.44.30.7 ota update on Jan 13. Heat pump failure on Feb 15 2022. Sounded like a lawn mower in the car for about 15 minutes and then nothing. SC was good. Set me up with a...

    Model Y Hitch depth

    I went out yesterday and put on my thule swing 4 bike rack for the first time. No problems but as I expected the thule locking hitch pin is too long. I've ordered the thule passive lock strap as a work around. Looks to be a basic cable lock with a puck attached. You wrap the cable around the...

    Cost to Import from US? Possible? Not worth it?

    get the tesla in new hampshire, no state tax. I bought a us car in 2008 in Ohio when the cdn $ was 1.05 from a honda dealership and never paid state tax. easiest process ever to import the vehicle. saved about 8k. I haven't seen it mentioned yet but will tesla honour the warranty if imported...

    Snow clearing mode???

    yes, it is irritating. I live in Ottawa also but I keep a 24 inch floor squeegee in the garage. I preheat the car and use the squeegee to clear everything off quickly.

    Scheduled Departure for AM Commute---uses more than saves?

    I use scheduled departure, it costs me about $.01/minute. I also like to use dog mode when I go in the grocery store and it's snowing out. Saves me from cleaning the car off.

    Extreme Cold driving/battery, etc...

    At those temps I get low 40's for efficiency and low to mid 400's for Wh/mi

    Just finished my first "road trip" and I am not happy with range

    My teslafi shows low 60's for efficiency in that temp range so yours does seem low. Are you in chill or standard mode? Being in chill makes a big difference in my experience.

    Cruise control / Auto Pilot is Garbage

    I have the same issues with AP as the OP, though not to that degree. There's a parkway by my house where the speed limit is 60km/h. There are 60km/hr speed limit that AP recognizers I put it on AP at 60km/hr and it works. One stretch however it always drops the speed limit and forces my cruise...

    New Tires - Don't want to go back with OEM

    I had them on my pathfinder. No issues. But I'm not one to really notice what's going on too much in a car. I don't notice the MY being noisy, I don't notice that the ride sucks etc. I have the toyo celcius all weather on MY. They also work well.

    Supercharger - Bancroft, ON

    High cost of charging according to TeslaFi?

    I agree with OP. I look at TCO. I received MY early Nov and I live in a cold climate. Total charge cost is $174, total drive cost is $92 for 4000km. My Pathfinder would have been around $700 over that distance. I preheat, I keep sentry mode on. I drive with the fan on at 5. I keep it in dog mode...

    Startup Issues

    Is your car in sentry mode? If not put in sentry mode overnight so it doesn't go to sleep. Test for a few days.

    get teslafi and input your "all in" kwh price, you will see how much you're paying.

    Model Y should be $6500 cheaper in Canada

    I didn't realize that the price included PDI, ac tax, etc. Yes, that makes sense. $20k cheaper will sell a lot of cars even with the reduced range.

    Model Y should be $6500 cheaper in Canada

    MY SR is listed at $56290 which is a better spread for USD than the LR. A better "deal" for Canadians getting the SR compared to LR if that's your preference. Maybe they will drop the price of the LR.

    Model Y should be $6500 cheaper in Canada

    I'm sure US buyers would love to pay our price for FSD based on exchange rates. 10600 CDN would be around $8300 US.

    Winter handling Subaru vs dual-motor model Y

    I live in Ottawa and have been on snow covered slippery, snotty roads for the past few days (toyo celcius all weather 19") as I go cross country skiing in the hills. My last car was a 2015 nissan pathfinder. It took me a bit to get used to the MY on twisty, slippery roads but now I don't find it...

    PPF Cost?

    PPF is the first automative related product that seems to be cheaper to get done in Canada. Probably less people willing to pay the $$$.

    kwh required to charge 1kwh at each charge level?

    Only charge at home on 14-50, 32 amp. Teslafi shows 92% efficiency since I got the Y, 2600kms.

    TeslaFi or Not? That is the Question

    I went with teslafi as I don't have access to a cellphone at work and wanted to be able to condition my Y before I left my desk.

    How do you deal with cold steering wheel ?

    My kids make fun of me because I said I would never get another car without a heated steering wheel and then I went and got a MY. Previous car was a pathfinder and I used it up until early June every year. I keep a pair of thin gloves in the car, that combined with pre-heating works out ok...

    Horrible experience picking up my THIRD S car

    I wish someone would chime in on how SC are compensated by Tesla for delivery and prep of vehicles. I'm thinking it must be very low as there are so many issues related to delivery that should be picked up and fixed by a proper delivery inspection. So they don't do anything prior and make the...

    Upload Insurance Without VIN? Huh?

    I'm with TD Meloche Monnex in Ontario. I called the morning of pickup and got insurance. They couldn't see the VIN in the system but they put it through anyways as they say with new vehicles it can take a while for the VIN to get pushed through. My plates were ready to go when I picked up the...

    Sentry Mode Dashcam Keep Disappearing

    I was having a similar issue and partitioned the drive with a separate 32GB drive and put the TeslaCam folder in there. No issues since. Waste of space but I only need the last file if something happens.

    Doesn't say anything about daily charge rate in the MY manual and nothing about long term storage except being plugged in.

    Where in Tesla official documentation does it specify daily % charge rate?

    2021 MSM Model Y 64xxx I see a lot of stuff posted on the internet on daily charge level for Tesla's. People post and articles are written that say daily charge should be between xx% and xx% for battery longevity but this seems apocryphal at best. I've read the owners manual and there isn't...

    Great. Was in and out of there in 30 minutes. I was actually going to the SC every day after work, looking for the car. It showed up Friday 6 so I checked it out in the parking lot that they have off of Sidney St. No security around there at all. No gates around parking lot. Where the cars are...

    PUP Winter Tire Dilemma

    I live in Canada and ski 30-50x a year and have always used good quality all season tires. However, I have switched to "all weather" tires, these can be driven year round and have the snowflake symbol that qualifies the tires as snow tires. That's what I'll be putting on the Y, Toyo Celsius...
