Just stopped by. Doesn’t look any different :(

Oh I see , thanks for clarifying. I think I’ll look at pricing a DCC install; sounds like the right size solution

This marketplace listing has expired and has been removed.

Sorry, I wasn’t clear. There are 2 panels (in law suite) in the basement which are full. There isn’t any space for a third panel so I figure an outside DCC (no garage) might be the way to go but I didn’t know another panel is required.

My understanding is that it’s installed between the meter and panel, and that it can be installed in cases where the panel isn’t easily reachable. maybe I got that wrong ?

It does seem nice but it seems to requiring wiring in the panel, no ?

I’m considering installing a demand charge controller like the dcc-11 to help with winter charging (L1 doesn’t really cut it at -20C). This location has “full” panels technically but AC doesn’t run in winter and baseboard heaters don’t run in summer so I’m thinking DCC would do the trick here...

Depends if you’d be concerned with Tesla bringing up the non-standard work done on the charging system if you were to have a charging/battery issue. Personally I didn’t want to risk that or my free supercharging.

Fingers crossed that they’ll complete this one. Anyone pass by lately ?

I think many would want a hatch. Unfortunately in North America, car manufacturers make us upgrade to an “SUV” or in the case of Tesla, model S has a hatch but you know ….

750$ w labour I’m surprised it’s not part of powertrain honestly. Can’t really see this as a consumable or wear and tear. If this is the BEV equivalent of getting the timing belt done, at least it’s cheaper :)

It’s nothing universal unfortunately, just a personal extension for this particular local service rep. I explained how my insurance was about to stiff me and he offered his extension. I got lucky with this case . It’d be more sustainable if they had an option for insurance in their menu but...

I managed to connect both parties (got lucky calling the service center and they gave me a direct extension for the insurance to call). FYI, for those stumbling on this, mechanical breakdown coverage requires pre approval. For something like high voltage contactors it can soften the blow.

No it’s a claim for mechanical breakdown.HV contactors failed and I was left stranded at a supercharger 60 miles from the closest service center. I got the car towed to Tesla and fixed. Claimed it afterwards and now GEICO is trying to weasel out of it. They apparently need to talk to Tesla to...

Wondering if others have faced this. GEICO wants to speak with Tesla so they can get details on method of diagnosis (because you know , GEICO knows the right way to diagnose high voltage contactors). Of course they can’t get a hold of Tesla so they’re likely going to deny the claim. Is...

Thank you , I appreciate you looping back.

Yeah that’s what was surprising to me, I’d expect things to get better on replacement cost. Only thing I can see is repair cost isn’t going down . Looking for a bumper replacement a year back, it seemed there was little to know capacity to take in a car before many months of wait (Ottawa) and...

Hasn’t changed much unfortunately

Yikes , I guess that friend of mine has a “good deal” at 2100$.

Question for fellow Canadians: A friend just got a 500$ increase year over year for his model 3 performance - no speedings or accidents, no teen drivers. He’s now looking at over 2k . Being that he’s a good driver in his 50s it seems quite high. Is there something about the Canadian market that...

This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing 18” Model 3 OEM rims. Please add to the discussion here.

Seems like a common thing in those years. 300 CAD in 2022 (200$ part, 100$ labour)

I have a 2018 and on best of days 250-270 but I don’t know many that actually do 100% to 0… Don’t get me wrong, they’re great cars still (they charge fast (which many forget when recommending short range versions). Plan on 120-180 between charging stops depending on how deep you charge.

That’s good to know because I intend and changing the battery when it fails. Good to know they likely wouldn’t take away supercharging bc of random reasoning.

Thanks for the note @schrodarkian. Just happened to me as well and I have to say, I’m surprised it’s a thing that happens without signs of something brewing (could be dangerous in extreme temperatures). Would you mind my asking what kind of mileage and charging habits ? I’m a little over 68k...

I think you’re right, the instructions don’t mention battery removal. I’m hoping they consider the contactors an integral part of the HV battery and under powertrain warranty.

For those interested , this looks to be the procedure (removal of the HV battery is required). I guess that explains the 700$ ish price (not counting the 300$ towing) - 2h job, 1h diag. , 100$ part

I would but I don’t want to mess with charging outside Tesla - don’t want them to take away free supercharging. I’ll probably just sell the spare adapter if they won’t credit the price of the adapter.

Good to know , thank you.

Has anyone gotten the CCS upgrade only (no adapter)? I already have a Tesla CCS adapter (a friend bought it for me when they first released it).

True, that should be well below any thresholds. I can see that mine would go but your usage seems quite typical and 15k miles is barely broken in…

as of today

Yeah , seriously , I’m about to recommend friends do it preemptively if the drive much in real winter temperatures - could be a hazard. Mind my asking what mileage you had and supercharging frequency ? I’m at 68k miles and 90% supercharging . Maybe it’s just wear and tear ?

Just had this happen to me on a road trip - sure seems like HV contactors (L2 works at service center where I was towed ). Sure changes a trip outlook fast … good thing it wasn’t winter. I’d hate to have this happen at -20.

Yes and Parish to Kemptville is tight as well (it’ll be nice to have the option to skip Watertown - in winter it can be tight when choosing Parish as last US stop).

Great to see that install, kemptville is a bit of a stretch in winter without a heat pump. I wonder how long before it’s online, doesn’t look like cars are parking in front of those stalls just yet.

Wondering if anyone has had a good experience with other usb hubs in cold weather. The Jeda hub has been ok for a few years and the hidden compartment is a nice feature but recently started having issues in cold weather where usb storage can’t be detected (removing the hub resolves the issue)...

The spiral technique ! Next update in Jan for mid Feb..

24 days left 🤞

Finally in the app

That’s what I’m wondering about. I’ve had FSD/EAP react to lane intrusion or close call at getting side swiped and while I’d miss the convenience of automatic lane change , FSD’s general awareness of what’s around the vehicle I’d be more disappointed in losing. So it sounds like standard AP...

In discussing the current supercharging transfer offer with a colleague, I was wondering if simple AP would be noticeably different (I’d lose FSD in the process). This colleague was of the opinion that basic AP doesn’t use side cameras as EAP and FSD do. Does anyone know if this is accurate ...

Interesting. It used to say “mid 2023”. That means they’ve revised the text and still gauging it’ll be in the next 2 months. Cautiously a optimistic 🤞

Yeah , ideally it’d be a ccs retrofit but if not I’ll hunt down a chademo adapter.

Glad you pointed out the type2 bit. Sounds like I’m better off hunting down a second hand adapter.

To add to the mix, older Teslas that don’t have CCS charging built-in will have another reason to be calling providers. Hopefully, opening of the supercharger network will motivate other networks to put in some effort.

I should have been more precise. Tesla has had “mid 2023” on their website for some time now. I’m assuming we’ll get it in mid or late 2024 so in the meantime chademo will have to do for remote locations.

Thanks. I thought I had read they didn’t sell it anymore as well but then I stumbled on this. If I’m logged-in to my account the web page sends me to the Tesla app’s shop and then (I presume because they deem it not compatible with model 3/y the app reverts to the Tesla shop landing page). If I...

Seeing as Tesla seems to have dropped the idea of retrofitting model 3 and Y for CCS, I’m begrudgingly looking for a chademo adapter as I’m heading to area without superchargers but it seems Tesla states the one they sell won’t work for model 3 (pulling up the product page does the same redirect...

Thanks. Hopefully with equipment suppliers starting to support NACS it’ll help move the retrofit along :)
