So my friend got the first ever Model Y in Canada delivered to him in Vancouver on June 9! My wife and I were fortunate enough to get ours on Saturday, June 20. They said they'd done about 20 or so in Vancouver thus far. There a couple other ones being delivered the same day as us (and a...

Picked up my P3D in Vancouver on Friday (replacing my trusty 2012 signature red S). Well oiled operation. They said they were delivering around 60 per day and will close out the quarter doing so. I had planned to wait another month or two to pull the trigger, but the relatively worthless...

3 years later, a quick update. We were back at the ranch this week (yes, I drove the Model S up there..but not the last 30 miles on gravel). My son decided to make a "Gymkhana" parody using the 1984 Honda Civic. You may enjoy:

Admittedly we've not driven it much yet, but in sport mode, the Volt seemed to spin out alot on a quick "punch" takeoff. There is just a lot more tire on the road with the Tesla.

Just got our 2016 Volt fully loaded today too...and...also was quite shocked it didn't have Homelink in it. Overall I'm quite impressed with it as a secondary vehicle to our Model S while we wait for Model 3. Compared to Model S wow is it ever small (which is what we wanted) and wow does it...

Like many others here, I'm born mid-60s. First program written was at a Radio Shack: 10 PRINT "Hello" 20 GOTO 10 RUN Thought I was king of the world. Saw and played with Commodore PETs during Canada Wide Science Fair in Waterloo Ontario in 1980. Lusted after an Apple ][ but couldn't find the...

Oh oh, I think it is Alternate Universe Musk....

I'm quite sure that the parkcade behind Tesla on Robson (where they have the test drive vehicles) lets you self park overnight. It is where Fairmont guests park. Enter it off Hornby as if you are going to the Fairmont just past Robson and keep turning left... Hope this helps and enjoy!!

Any chance of getting this registered with Tunein -- that will make it easy to listen to while in the car.

My clunk mysteriously went away a bit less than a year ago (I noticed I'd posted in this thread when it was prominent). I mentioned it to the service center and they said a software update had fiddled with something. Hard to believe but I know what I don't hear now.

Okay, so not a sighting but something close. I was in the Bay Area this week and bumped into a Tesla staffer. He indicated he'd recently been getting training on the X, that the design studio was coming very very soon, but that there were 3 last looks they were experimenting with and hadn't...

Mods -- please merge this thread over to Driving on Sunshine -- feels like I should have put it there to begin with. Sorry and Thanks.

Sorry, didn't see this thread when I reported my own status over here Driving on Sunshine (even in the Pacific Northwest) . Bottom line -- 1 year in I'm generating more than enough to cover all my driving, even this far north.

Love your setup! As for mine, my son made a 30 second commercial for a film class for the Model S: I'd wanted to redub the music as Driving on Sunshine, but we lacked the vocal talent. I lifted two frames from that that show the car in front the of house, I'll paste below. Note -- there was...

Driving on Sunshine (even in the Pacific Northwest) So we live in a suburb of Vancouver, a part of the world not known for its abundance of sunshine. A year ago today the solar panels went up on our house (after a multi-month wait for them to arrive -- serious backorder/supply issue). Now...
