One subtlety here: Tesla forced that "upgrade" without telling us clearly and, AFAIU, without admitting publicly that risk and it's mitigation. That's mostly what I'm not happy with.

Did they, or did they push things too far from the beginning and now they are backtracking. I mean, Elon has a history of pushing things before they are ready, FSD being an example. Of course, this attitude brought us great cars and charging infrastructure when no other company would have done...

Version 2020 of the BMS would not produce the error at the same degradation stage as version 2023 does. Plus, they could do that because they maintained free connectivity and were forcing OTA upgrades. Other manufacturers could not do such "upgrade" without a recall or something. So it's not a...

Thanks for your replies. Here are a couple of answers. Indeed, I should have written "return the car to Tesla" a year before. Initially, 11k$, but a few weeks later, after I tried finding someone interested to part it out, and maybe after seeing the cracked windshield, they decrease to 8k$...

Returning to this old post a few years later, and it aged reasonably well! The fit (orange curve) was on the data until 2016 (blue dots), the rest of the curve being an extrapolation, compared to actual data (in red). The data points from 2018-2022 are from StatCan, considering both BEV and...

For those who want to know what to expect on their road past 10 years and 330 000 km (205,000 miles) with their Model S, here’s our story, especially the last 12 months before returning the car to Tesla. [TL;DR]: My advice to old/high-milage Model S owners: sell it before it’s too late, because...

Hankook Ventus S1 AS

Got the new car yesterday, just passing 330 000 km with the old one on our way to Tesla Laval. Over 100 cars were waiting inside and outside to be picked up and more coming in when we were there. The process was as follows: 1) Go to a first desk to get the access cards and a folder with forms to...

On the Teslike Model 3 Survey & Order Tracker, user DapperAF from Montreal says they ordered April 18th and received the car May 20th. Seems like an exception. Didn't indicate the VIN, so we don't know if it's a Californian or a Shanghainese one, most likely the former. Other than that, as...

Got our delivery date: Thursday next week!! They offered three days (Wednesday to Friday), each day with ~10 time slots spaced by 30 min. Can't wait!!

We ordered March 24th with an initial EDD in March! 😅

And when asked, take the red pill...

Indeed, the Morning Caroline is docked here. Looks like the cars will now board a CN train (or at least these are CN tracks). Any tool to track trains, now? :)

We ordered a M3 SR+ on March 24th with an initial EDD in March (!) then in April, then it was delayed to something like June 1-30, then back to May 16-30, and currently it's June 9-21. Quite some shifts! But when we ordered, they told us it would take anywhere between 3 weeks and 3 months; looks...

Hi guys, After 327 000 km (that's over 200 000 miles), my car, an MS85 2013 with over 200 000 miles, decided it had enough. A few days ago, it stopped running on the highway with 30 km left of charge, 10 km away from the next supercharger. But now, among other problems, it has the following two...
