    UMC bricked in Cold Weather?

    Thanks for the suggestions. For the most part, the UMC is stored in the garage when not in use, but its possible that moisture has gotten in at some point recently considering the rain. It seems to be working fine now, but I am going to re-organize my garage so I can keep it in doors full time

    UMC bricked in Cold Weather?

    I checked a non GFI circuit and it was dead as well, and the UMC that was on the 14-50 worked on the garage circuit so the GFI hadn't been tripped. Also, after warming over night, the bricked UMC seems to work again. I guess it is possible the GFI in the UMC tripped. I just though it was...

    UMC bricked in Cold Weather?

    Has anyone had an issue with their UMC not working in cold weather? Last night when I plugged my car in in it was cold (-20C or so), and the green TESLA never illuminated, and the app said 'Ready to Charge - Check Power Source'. We have 2 Model 3s so I have one UMC on a 14-50, and the other...

    Model 3 Standard Range Plus or Long Range AWD in the Ottawa Area?

    We have both the SR+ and the AWD (his and hers), and when it comes to winter handling (including today), I haven't seen enough of a difference to justify the premium for AWD. With winter tires and the car's traction control, I haven't had a single issue this winter. in hindsight, we could...

    Home Delivery Timing (Ottawa)

    Hi All, I am curious of other Ottawa owners have started planning out winter tires yet. Originally, I had intended to just go through Tesla, but with the recent price change, I'm curious if anyone around town has found a decent alternative? I really don't have an appetite for Canadian tire...

    Home Delivery Timing (Ottawa)

    When I ordered ours back in May, I would see a model 3 every few days or so in Kanata, but a few short months later, I am seeing 3-4 a day, beyond our 2 and they don't seem to be the same ones every time. It's a pretty nice sight.

    How ridiculous is NOT installing a 240v service?

    Follow up if anyone is following/cares. I submitted my inquiry to the Code inquiry board on the the ESASAFE website and had it confirmed by 2 separate responses that provided you have one year of historical hourly usage that demonstrates capacity (based on max hourly load + 25%), you are good...

    Model 3 in Canada

    I can answer a a few of the questions, first, SR+ qualifies for the Federal rebate, regardless of the upgrades (wheels, colour, FSD, etc), the only way to not qualify would be to upgrade to the AWD. As far as charging is concerned, if she is a low KM driver, and has access to a standard 120v...

    Prospective buyers- still SR+ or LR AWD?

    Depending on if/when you buy, don't forget to get a referral, the bonus supercharger miles can help fill in the gaps as well.

    Prospective buyers- still SR+ or LR AWD?

    We purchased both the LR-AWD and SR+ back in May so having both I have a few notes from my perspective. As far as range goes, that's a personal usage consideration, but I've gone Ottawa to Toronto in the SR+ without issue, just a 30-35 minute pit stop in Belleville at the super charger which...

    Canadian Stores and Service Centers

    Any idea/indication if they are still trying to abide by the Nepean location per the map, or are they considering anywhere in Ottawa in general?

    How ridiculous is NOT installing a 240v service?

    Thanks, my issue is the on-line calculators seem to put me right at the limit (97-103 amps depending on the calculator) and I am not fully sure that the values they are giving me are 100% accurate. My historical usage indicates I have lots of capacity, but I can't confirm if this matters by...

    How ridiculous is NOT installing a 240v service?

    Hi all, Has anyone had recent success with the prior use history and approvals that can confirm if it is an actual electrical code consideration or a YMMV consideration of the inspector. I have gotten quotes from a couple electricians and the first was very high ($1500+ permitting) but said I...

    Tesla shop shipping times?

    Perhaps it is a waste, but emails were going unanswered, and I was at least told something. I received an email response to one of my previous inquiries shortly after the chat as well saying the same thing, so it least is confirmation that someone looked at the file. Whether or not there is...

    Tesla shop shipping times?

    Ordered winter floor mats back in early May, and its been silent since. I emailed a handful of times, but nothing, so I got on the chat and the rep looked into it. I was told there was recent system update that impacted the distribution network and the order did not fully process. My CC was...
