    When Do I Give up on my 90,000km 2013 Model S?

    My Model S ran amazingly and needed minimal service for the first 8 years. It's low mileage but had been in 2 major accidents and still drove really well after these incidents. Ironically, after my warranty completely expired last year, it's been nothing but trouble. I had the suspension...

    Repair Brakes in GTA?

    My model S is finally needing new pads and rotors after 8 years. Who do you recommend? I prefer west Toronto or Mississauga.

    12V Battery Replacement Outside of Warranty

    So did you do it yourself? Where did you eventually get it? Mine's 2013.

    12V Battery Replacement Outside of Warranty

    Thank you. Mine is a 2013 model S RWD (can't believe I've had it almost 8 years!) If I can't easily obtain the battery, I guess I'll go to Tesla. I was worried it was going to be like $1000 or something.

    12V Battery Replacement Outside of Warranty

    This is my first warning of my 12V battery needing replacement after warranty ended. I have a few questions for those that have done it. Can this be done myself? Where do I buy the 12V battery if I can? How much does Tesla charge for this service? How long do I have from the first warning...

    Tire change over to winter in Toronto area

    I've been going to them since 2013 for my Tesla MS but it used to be free so I put up with inconvenience of going there. Now I'm not sure I want to wait the hour it takes each time they do a changeover on rims when I'm paying. Looking for recommendations for a mobile service if those on here...

    WTB: Silver or Red Center Wheel Caps for Model S - need full set of 4

    I am located in Toronto, Canada and just got new wheels without center caps. I need another set of silver ones and am open to both new and excellent used condition. Red accents or stickers are a bonus!

    Where to Buy Tesla Wheel Centre Caps and TPMS Sensors?

    Looking for silver centre caps still. Can't get through to any of the Tesla service centres around Toronto and need to get my summer wheels on soon.

    Where to Buy Tesla Wheel Centre Caps and TPMS Sensors?

    I'm looking to replace my centre caps and TPMS sensors but looking for a reasonable price for a good product. I am sure I can get a better deal than through Tesla. Any Canadian friendly options? Thanks.

    Toronto Auto Body Shop

    I've used Excellence twice for some major repair work, as I was hit twice by other cars in the past few years. My husband takes the Porsche to 427, which is much closer to us, and they also do a great job. Good to know they are also Tesla authorized.

    A thread for people with no problems

    I have one of the first Canadian red multi-coat Model S's, a 2013 P85 with 45,000km on the odometer. Other than some company recalls/upgrades, it had only been in for service to replace the 12V battery in year 4 and to fix the tire sensor system twice, all free of charge. In my 4+ years of...

    Winter Tires and Rims - Canadian Availability

    I just got a quote from E.T. auto centers for the R2 and their quote was only slightly better than Kal Tire's online price, and they don't provide free changeovers.

    Winter Tires and Rims - Canadian Availability

    They are the main ones for Nokian but there are some other shops in GTA that sell them. Even among the different Kal Tire locations, and amongst the salespeople, there are differences in prices as they will negotiate. I lost two of my salespeople who gave the best deals recently. High...

    Winter Tires and Rims - Canadian Availability

    Has anyone purchased the Nokian Hakka R2's this year? I need to replace 2 of mine this month and would like to know what price is competitive. I find that there is a lot of room to negotiate on tires if you have a competitor price.

    Winter Tires and Rims - Canadian Availability

    I go to the Mississauga Kal Tire and they have always swapped my winters/summers for free and I have only bought tires for my Tesla from them. I got Tirerack Rial rims (2 sets), just like you and they know that. I did buy a rim/winter set for my parents there once and my husband has gotten...
