No surprise here. All used car prices have dropped significantly but with EVs the new ones have also significantly dropped in price. Remember in 2022 (I think) a Model 3 LR was like 85k CAD. Now it's like 61k. I bought my M3P for ~75k in 2021, now the same car is 6k less new for the updated...

maybe the wipers will go even faster when there is no rain on the windshield!

I sure hope not. I see the estimated range is down about 30 km from the previous one.

The new Model 3 Performance, despite the rumours about it being called Ludicrous or whatever, is apparently now available to order in Canada for $69,990: https://www.tesla.com/en_ca/model3/design#overview I have a 2021 M3P. Probably will be looking to upgrade since the Highland has a quieter...

No.

You can't take your hand off the wheel either. Driving is less stressful and less tiring with an assistance program such as this. If you are driving a long distance, you will be less exhausted when you arrive. I already find that just with Autopilot. And with the subscription you don't have to...

$99/month makes FSD way more appealing. My experiences with it in the city are meh at best but if I was going on a road trip, would be worth grabbing it.

I've tested this more and it is just so not ready for prime time. It makes a million little mistakes. It drives unnaturally. Stops are not smooth. It would fail any drivers exam for certain. I feel bad for people that have actually purchased this. The years and years of hype are still not...

hey friend. This is the Canada subforum. Everything costs more! It's actually $16k now

It convinced me to not buy FSD. It's good, but it's not perfect, and I am sorry but I need my driver to be perfect. It doesn't need to lane change into the parking lane and stuff for $15,000

This is always the argument and it is poor for more than one reason. The "road tax" is just a tax that goes into general revenue. It's not actually used for roads exclusively, nor is/was it ever enough to cover the costs of roads. EVs, especially right now, cost more upfront than an ICE car...

but you will be happy after, so worth it

go to your favourite online store and search for light dimming stickers. You can put these over and LED and make them much dimmer so they don't annoy you. I use them on my cable boxes.

I use X-Ice snow and am very happy with them. I still have my original Pirelli summer tires so no recommendation there sorry.

I prefer to trade because it's so much easier, plus I don't have to deal with idiots wanting to "test drive". With a M3P you will probably get a lot of people that only want to floor it and then walk away. Plus, as others have said, the trade value goes against the total tax you will pay on the...

That does exist. You don't need Tesla to do it. You can go into service and run the test yourself.

Not sure how it works in Alberta but if you bring a car from out of province I imagine you would also have to pay for a safety inspection, so that's added cost on top of the travel and the drive home and the time off etc. A local dealer also has a reputation to protect whereas a private sale...

I am far from Australia but I guess I am surprised you are thinking about snow chains. Why would you not get snow tires? Do people use chains a lot there in the winter?

If I am going on a long trip it is worth it. If I am just doing city trips it is 100% not worth the wasted power. I'll precondition a few minutes just to get the cabin warmed up for short city trips. You'd be spending dollars in power to save pennies in regen.

That seems about where rates are right now. There was just a thread about this a few days ago.

Probably not enough information to make this kind of assessment. We can all agree that a dual motor can generate more heat, but that doesn't mean a LFP RWD is useless in the cold. Would really need some scan my tesla data to see what kind of cell temps it is able to get to. There's one less...

The FSD is definitely not worth the huge price tag. The base autopilot is really good. I would not get the Yoke especially now that it's an almost $1400 price increase for some reason. Some people like it but inevitably it is going to be a pain some of the time. Around town it looks very awkward.

Don't let this stop you, but you won't be getting 530 km on a charge. My Model 3 is rated for over 500km and on a good day on the highway I can get 400km. I also went into the purchase thinking that even in winter 30-40% range loss would still leave me with enough range, but it's 30-40% off of...

Most people do have block heaters here and they have to use them when it gets this cold. My last 2 cars that did not have block heaters were both BMW 335i sedans and BMW stopped providing block heaters for some reason. They do provide a trickle charger for the battery and I would plug that in...

l ask myself the same thing every year when it's this cold. Why do I live here? Never came up with a good answer yet. I have to run full winters. It's way too much snow and ice for all seasons.

My last two cars did not have block heaters, which was frustrating when it was cold. The Telsa is a million times better in the cold for heat and comfort and it always starts (as long as it has power left obviously). Even if I do not precondition, I get heat within minutes. It's WAY better...

No regen at all, and this is one of the things that seems to have changed (for the better). In paster winters the heat pump would work super hard to keep the cabin warm and warm the battery. Now if I start my journey with regen (preconditioned in my garage which isn't heated but is a lot warmer...

I do have winter tires and I have experienced this, but since they added all wheel Regen in the 2022 Christmas update it's been fixed for me since I have a performance model and therefore dual motors. It's also flat here. I'm not sure how the downhill would be especially with a RWD model only...

Sask! This has been a mild winter but this last week has been brutal!

Real cold snap here. Like really cold. Saturday was -36°C and was like -52°C with the wind chill. If you ever wondered how a Model 3 can handle the cold - it does VERY WELL! Today was a balmy -32°C when I left for work and -28°C when I left the office. This is my 3rd winter with the Model 3 so...

Wow that's a lot of km! Reading the National Post and I would have thought that EVs can only go about 30,000 km before needing to go to the landfill! All jokes aside, if I was in your situation I would probably trade it in. A Model Y would be very nice and then you get warranty again, although...

This is the recall: https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/detail.aspx?lang=eng&mk=14602&mkName=TESLA&md=MODEL%203&fy=0&ty=9999&ft=&ls=0&sy=0&syName=All%20Systems&all=0&rn=2022043&cf=SearchResult&pg=0 I believe I got a letter about this in the mail.

There was a recall in Canada and USA for this issue on my 2021 in early 2022, however my heat pump self destructed in January 2022 and was replaced under warranty. No issues since and it gets down to -40°C here.

With the tiny bit of ground clearance there is no need for snow chains in Toronto. If you have that much snow you are going to get high centered anyway. Chains would be for people that live in the mountains where the grade is steep enough that they need that extra bit of traction. If you are in...

Probably AWD has a lot to do with that since it can and does regen on the front axle when it is icy out.

The TPMS are here: https://shop.tesla.com/en_ca/product/tire-pressure-monitoring-system Don't buy wheels from Tesla unless you love spending money. Get a set from a tire shop. The only thing you will probably need to provide is the TPMS sensors because Tesla uses a bluetooth one. Another...

Once you get a few trips under your belt you will see how much faster the car charges in the bottom 50% compared to the top 50%. It's always fastest to just charge enough to get to your next stop. Your trip isn't too long though so one or two stops will likely be enough.

I would switch that receptacle to a Hubble NEMA 14-30. As @RayK said Leviton isn't well-known for reliability and there are many, many reports of their receptacles failing when they deal with the strain of max-amperage draw for 8-10 hours that EVs demand. A 30A is plenty for charging, and I'll...

This is the Model S Yoke but the wheel will be the same. Right scroll wheel press turns on cruise control

There will still be a fan to blow air through the seats, but that air will not be cooled by AC directly. It will just be cabin air. I think ventilated seats (with a fan) are still a nice upgrade over what we have now.

I don't know why people defend this but again, Tesla is CHOOSING to provide misleading information. They aren't picking the "formula that provides the worst stats" They are picking the formula that provides the results that are furthest from reality in order to boost sales. There are plenty of...

There are still indicator buttons. They just are on the steering wheel and not the stalk. You are getting confused with the other stalk which is used to put the car in drive/reverse and used with cruise control. Drive/Reverse is now automatic or able to be chosen manually on the screen. Cruise...

This thread probably doesn't need to devolve into how Tesla is the worst offender on overstating range, but the numbers from the EPA can be done with 2 different tests. Tesla chooses the set of tests that gives them the highest, most unrealistic number, and publishes those. Pretty much every...

No argument here other than all of that could and should be done with a heads-up display. That's the feature that's actually missing. Would allow them to keep the minimalist dash. I am kind of surprised it didn't show up.

I am very against the yoke but I think the stalk thing is not a huge issue. Glad to see the horn is back where it should be unlike the Plaid where it's a capacitive button (for now). There's a lot I thought I would not like about my M3P but after owning it for 2.5 years I don't even know why I...

Got to admit I was surprised to see this already but here it is on CarWow. If 678 km is true I might be trading in!

That is kind of amazing wow

Well I'll be damned. With all of the imported cars I see driving around (especially Japanese ones that are right hand drive and a huge safety risk in Canada) I didn't think there was really anything to do on an imported car but I guess you are right it DOES indeed need to have daytime running...

This is simple. Plug in the car when you get out and not after it goes to sleep after X hours.

This appears to be resolved this morning. I have a solid LTE connection again.
