    DIY Model S Chrome Delete?

    I used the Tesbros chrome delete kit on my 2015 MS and I highly recommend it. Their YouTube channel has short videos on how to install each piece. I like that they give you a spare of each piece in case you mess up (like I did with two of the pieces). It took longer than I thought to do, but...

    Is the Model S worth it over the Highland M3?

    Agreed on the old M3 but the M3 Highland also now has ventilated seats, an upgraded sound system and is supposedly 20% quieter than the old M3 with dual-panel glass on all doors and better aerodynamics. It will be interesting to see a true comparison between the two cars.

    Big decision....

    I’m in the same boat with my 2015 MS 70D. I love the car and it has low mileage (80k kms) but its starting to become a bit of a money pit. Like you I have upgraded to MCU2, have replaced a few suspension bits and had the normal door handle issues. But a potential $25k battery replacement, on a 9...

    MS 2018 chrome delete

    I should add that I went with the satin black finish from Tesbro. I also decided to get body-color door handle wraps from Abstract Ocean rather than using the black ones that came with the Tesbros kit.

    MS 2018 chrome delete

    I did it this spring with my 2015 MS 70D with the TesBros kit. The kit was great and they give you two of everything in case you mess up the first time (which I did on a couple of pieces). They have numerous videos on Youtube on how to apply each piece. I wanted to replicate the new MS look...

    Buy Pirelli P ZERO™ ALL SEASON PLUS ELECT - Canada?

    I had trouble sourcing them in Canada so I ordered mine from TireRack for my Model S in April. Shipping was $173 USD. They arrived in seven days. Great tires BTW.

    Software Update 2023.26

    Under the Software menu you can select either Standard or Advanced updates. If you select Advanced you will typically receive the updates sooner. Some people select Standard even though the updates come later, so they get an update that has been field tested a bit more, rather than getting an...

    Software Update 2023.26

    I got the 2023.26.7 update last Tuesday. So it’s available here in Canada.

    Navigation Audio Speaker

    Thanks DerbyDave. It makes sense. It’s also funny how mine was incorrect for all this time and just now got fixed.

    Navigation Audio Speaker

    My 2015 70D with MCU2 recently was updated to 2023.26.7. Since then the navigation audio only comes out of the front center speaker. Before this update it came out of all the speakers. I’ve seen some posts where the opposite behaviour was mentioned (it used to only come from the front center...

    End of Quarter Canada discounts

    Tesla Canada is offering discounts on existing inventory (for both demos and new cars). Around $3k of the M3 inventory. For MS it is $10k off plus three years free supercharging. I didn’t see any MY inventory (at least in Ontario).

    2015 Model S 70 Battery Replacement Options

    Mine is at 80k km. The battery warranty and ESA expire this Friday, so I enter the uncharted waters of a fully out of warranty Model S.

    Slacker issues since Rogers LTE outage

    Ever since the Rogers LTE outage a few weeks ago, my slacker account logs me out every 48 hours and I have to log back in. It’s a Tesla slacker account. Tesla is troubleshooting this but I thought I would ask if anyone else is having this issue.

    End of Warranty Inspection in the GTA?

    I just had an end of warranty inspection on my 2015 MS. I had Tesla do the check. The fee was $178. I had noticed some creaking from the front and they discovered the upper control arms on both sides needed to be replaced. I only had to pay the deductible. I asked how much it would have cost...

    Rogers is the carrier for Tesla Canada?

    Same here. At first it was still 3G but after I did a two-button reboot my LTE service returned.

    LTE connectivity gone after latest software update?

    Tesla service messaged me this morning saying they have fixed the Rogers issue and asked if I now had LTE. At first it was still 3G but after I did a two-button reboot the LTE service resumed.

    LTE connectivity gone after latest software update?

    Tesla has announced there is a known issue right now with Rogers LTE service in Canada. I’m in Ottawa and only have had 3G for the past few days. I made a service appointment about it and was told they are working with Rogers on this right now. (See the Canada forum for more info).

    Rogers is the carrier for Tesla Canada?

    Are you saying that the Apple Music “Choose Media Source” issue is now fixed for you? What did they have to do to the MCU? This is a widespread issue. I’ve had it with my MS since they launched Apple Music. Curiously I received the 2023.12.5 update last week and Apple Music worked perfectly...

    Rogers is the carrier for Tesla Canada?

    I had the same issue of no LTE and only 3G on my MS, strangely occurring right after a service appointment on Thursday. Plus I’ve had to sign into my Slacker account every morning. I booked a mobile service appointment for tomorrow and today they said there is an issue with Rogers and asked me...

    What are we expecting to happen price-wise on Model 3 in Canada?

    Given that the MY LR now qualifies for the $5k federal rebate then the M3 LR should also qualify once Tesla makes it available again in Canada.

    HV Battery failure! 2014 S85 with 43,000 miles, single owner car

    Thanks, this is super helpful. Mine left the factory in May 2015. How can you tell if you have a 2.0 pack?

    2015 Model S 70 Battery Replacement Options

    Wow, congrats Russell. I have a 2015 70D and am also in Ottawa, so mine’s had similar weather extremes as yours. How many KMs were on the original battery when it failed?

    Another Model S price drop in Canada

    I just noticed that the price for the Model S dropped by $6k CAD overnight, to $116,990. I don’t think the M3 price dropped. But not sure about the MY or MX.

    2018 Model S 75D extended warranty / repair costs

    I have a 2015 MS 70D which I bought from the original owner 18 months ago, with 52,000km on it. He had purchased a four year ESA. I think it cost him around $4500 CAD, so $7645 seems high. I bought out the remainder of the ESA from him and the balance of the ESA transferred to me. He had very...

    Sale on Model S Demos

    I just noticed that Tesla now has some large discounts on in-stock Model S demonstrators. For example, there is a white MS with Arachnid wheels and black/white interior in Toronto, with “less than 50km” going for $115k + HST, down from $131k + HST.

    Apple Music - "Choose Media Source" every time entering the car

    I’ve had this issue too for the past few weeks every time I got into my car but two days ago I got the 2023.2.12 update and I haven’t seen the issue since. Has anyone else noticed this?

    Extra $7k to trade in your old Model S

    I was wondering the same thing. Once a used Model S gets returned to Tesla, the FUSC goes away.

    Extra $7k to trade in your old Model S

    Electrek is reporting that Tesla is offering an extra $7k CAD on the value of your trade-in of an older Model S (but only ones that still have free supercharging) if you buy a new Model S.

    Right Headlight Malfunction Detected

    My right side headlight failed on my 2015 Model S a few months ago. The mobile service ranger came to replace the bulb but discovered that the ballast was very corroded, most likely from road salt (I live in Ottawa Canada). He ended up replacing the entire headlamp assembly. The good news is...

    2015 Model S - no error when one headlight not working?

    Luckily it was covered under my extended service agreement so I don’t know the full cost, sorry.

    2015 Model S - no error when one headlight not working?

    I had the same issue. I was surprised there wasn’t a notification, just the car icon showing one headlight. Mobile service came and discovered the problem was not the bulb but the ballast had lots of corrosion (due to salt on winter roads). They replaced the entire headlight assembly.

    Does MCU2 improve audio on an MS with Standard Audio?

    Subjectivity, I thought that the sound quality improved with my MCU2 upgrade in my 2015 70D. I read somewhere that the codec changed in MCU2. Also check out the threads on setting up the EQ balance when going from MCU1 to MCU2. For me this made a big difference in the sound quality.

    MCU2 upgrade is CAD $2.6k now?

    I paid $2000 +tax in November. That included labour. But my car has AP1. I think they charge $2600 for AP2 and AP2.5. The Radio Upgrade is another $690 but I didn’t get it since TuneIn gives me all the radio stations anyway. I’m very pleased with the MCU2 upgrade.

    Headlight bulb failure notification

    I had an HID headlight burn out and noticed that the avatar in the instrument cluster actually shows only one light working. It’s subtle but an interesting way to notify you.

    Eastern Canada Superchargers

    Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to Madoc (halfway between Ottawa and Toronto on Hwy 7). It means I’ll only need to stop once in winter instead of needing an additional top up in Perth or Peterborough to complete the journey.

    MCU2 upgrade from MCU1 using mobile service?

    I booked my MCU2 upgrade through the app and it gave me a mobile service appointment. A couple of hours later I got a call from my Tesla Service Center in Ottawa stating that was a mistake and that it needs to be done at the service center, as the job is fairly involved. It was booked for a...
