I really hope it pays out. the NCR as a whole really needs more superchargers, and definitely one in Gatineau no matter what. Ridiculous that this gap still exists.

Now that we are approaching the end of the season (ish), thought I'd give a status report on the tires! As a reminder, those tires come with 11/32nds of tread when new. So far, we have put 6,500km (4000mi) on them since mid-November. Front and rears are currently all at 10/32nds, very even...

Yes I can still hear, but at least it's generally more to do with the mastering itself than just the track itself. There's enough of a difference for me to justify not wasting time with Spotify. Like you can tell a good mastering vs a bad one but I think some people are overexagerating the...

Not what I meant. I mean having the music BELOW the map in a compact player (like we could do with V11) instead of it being fullscreen or driver side. Particularly to skip songs or scrub. Having to lower or switch the card to something else if they want to take care of that, it's annoying. it's...

Got the update pushed earlier, .25.1 So far so good. Glad to see the cards are back and I can have my various trips / lifetime stats. FINALLY have Apple Music and the implementation IMO is great. Wish it had gap-less playback but anyway. Sounds great too. On par with Bluetooth, better than...

For what it’s worth, Apple Music sounds better than Spotify, at least from listening to both back to back. Apple Music vs Bluetooth, I am not as confident. Hi-Res on USB still sounds better, obviously, but I am not hearing the compression as much which is nice. I tested all three with Sultans...

To add onto this thread, been a month since we got them. Since then, we got them moved onto the Aero wheels (one of the steelies seemed bent (balanced it twice, no change, balanced on aero, all good). For a bit I was afraid the tires were out of rounds, but no, only the rims. That's good news...

Yeah same as above. I am quite happy with V11 and think it has improved considerably since the first release. I took delivery of the car with V11 and only test drove on V10, so I was not as used to it. It is much more flexible depending on what you want where on the UI. I get it though: old...

I think so far that's the most realistic list I've seem. All things we "know" are in the works, but with no actual timeline. Bluetooth controller support should have been done a long time ago when they went to power only in the console. One thing about remote boombox would be great if...

Oh it's nice to see they have wireless chargers! ;)

Alright, I get what you are trying to do, the short answer is no. You cannot “enhance” a wireless charger performance by adding another interface in between, adding more “obstacles” and not fixing the alignment issue anyway. I’d encourage everyone to look at this teardown of the charging pad...

Is it the year where we FINALLY get Apple Music?! Apparently the icon is there on one of the cars displayed at the Peterson Museum Exhibit... Apple Music coming soon to Tesla vehicles

Been a week since we mounted the R5 EV on the car. Put around 300km on them already and so far so good. They work very well in the snow, noise is very good for winter tires. They ride harsher than the MXM4, but I might just be too high on the pressure currently (42PSI). Tapped snow, ice, dry or...

First snow here in Ottawa! Very slushy weather with decent accumulation, particularly slippery. One thing is sure, they have a lot of grip. Their force might be on tapped snow than slush, but overall really happy with them. Noise wise, I'd say somewhat better than the OEM, at least on dry...

Yeah I was familiar with them also, growing up in Quebec. My dad even has some Hakka on his Chevy Volt! I am used to winter tyres on my previous cars so it’s not really jarring to me anymore, though they seem to be a bit smoother rolling than some others I’ve had. And the crusty old steelies...
