Interestingly, I just got the exact same battery part number as a warranty replacement for my April 2015 Model S. ASY-HV BATTERY,90KWH,SX Part #: 1014116-00-B When I picked up the car on Sunday, there was 80.585 kWh of energy available at a 100% charge (watts per mile x projected range).

Tesla Service makes it clear. But I don’t see that listed in the exclusions in the warranty.

The latest Tesla Service text: “Thank you for scheduling an appointment , we have reviewed the details and found that this is a normal characteristic of your vehicle. With a recent software update, Tesla has updated the charge profile in the battery management system of some vehicles which can...

Not much guidance from Tesla in this FAQ that would explain why it now takes 50 minutes at a SuperCharger in order for me to get the 48kwh of power required to drive for two hours (80 mph at 300 watts per mile): Supercharging Does Supercharging affect my battery? The peak-charging rate of the...

We did not pay the $195 when we picked the car up. What amazes me is that the Service Reps appear to have been instructed to accept your description of the problem in a neutral manner without saying anything substantive or reassuring in reply. The Service Rep was quite patient and remained...

I like the drive through Maine, shorter distance, the drive through the Townships is pleasant, two lane roads keep it interesting through Maine, and I find the Trans Canada mind-numbing in the St. Lawrence Valley and through New Brunswick. The Supercharger in Magog is at a nice little mall with...

I will be moving from Ottawa to Washington. Hopefully I will not have the same challenges, given the following provision. "The following vehicles need not conform to emission or safety requirements but may NOT be sold in the U.S. and may require EPA and DOT declarations: ... Those belonging...

On our Ontario - PEI trips, we like driving one direction through Maine and the other through Canada. When driving through Maine, the drive between the Magog to either the Augusta or Brewer super chargers has worked well. We have enjoyed two-night stops in: the St. Andrews area for a day of...

Info on the Canada-Korea trade agreement is available here: Canada-Korea Free Trade Agreement (CKFTA) "Upon full implementation of the CKFTA, virtually all bilateral trade will be duty-free."

How about every time an owner talks to tech support about something that requires follow-up, they request "Can you send that to the [Ottawa] [Quebec City] [Edmonton] service centre?"

Hopefully, the supercharger NW of Ottawa is in Renfrew rather than Pembroke. Renfrew at 100km is a bit close to Ottawa but allows for connections from Algonquin as well from North Bay. Renfrew is perfectly positioned when driving SE: 245km from the Huntsville supercharger and 265km from North...

My preferred route: Ottawa -> Magog (Lunch) -> Bangor, ME -> St. Andrews NB (overnight Rossmount Inn) -> Moncton (30 minute top up at Tim Hortons) -> PEI In both directions I drove conservatively between St. Andrews and PEI, drafting trucks or staying below 110 km/h.

Peter's Kitchen is a 1km walk south of the Supercharger in Comber. I dropped the family off before plugging in and then we all walked to get the car after eating. Peters Kitchen - Comber, ON

In Comber, we walked into town and ate a decent dinner at "Peter's Kitchen" with a whole bunch of locals.
