The SCs at the Tesla Lawrence Centre are getting very busy. They were all occupied when we got there on a recent trip. On a previous trip, we waited quite a while before going into the service centre to talk to someone. The sales manager moved one of the demos to make a spot available for us...

We just returned from Toronto to Ottawa on Tuesday. I did a full trip charge at Tesla Lawrence before leaving and arrived at the Kingston SC ( via 401) with 65 kms RR left. We charged up to 390 kms RR in Kingston and arrived ( via 401/416) in Ottawa with 127 kms. With milder weather forecast...

FYI: I had difficulty making a connection with the Kingston SC Unit B this afternoon. It had worked well on Friday afternoon. After I plugged it in today, it started to charge but only for a few seconds and then it stopped. I tried three times and the same thing happened. I switched to Unit...

Doug and Hingisfan: Thanks for your comments. It's good to know that you were able to charge at BW in Cobourg. I had seen comments earlier about the BW Cobourg being EV unfriendly, so I was wondering if there were a new 40 A facility. I agree with your comments about the benefits of a SC vs...

Could you tell me where you charged up in Cobourg? If it's a convenient location, I am thinking of not going to the Tesla Lawrence Supercharger during rush hour on our way back to Ottawa. During cold spells in Ottawa ( -25 C ), my energy consumption is way up especially after parking outdoors...

It was great being able to use the Kingston supercharger yesterday on my way to Toronto from Ottawa. As an experiment, we took 416/401 route instead of the Highways 7/15/401 we took in the past. Due to the very cold weather (- 23 C and wind chill in the - 35 C range), we were able to get only...

Thanks. We really like our Model S. It's great technology. You must have done a lot of planning to travel inter city in the "early days" The knowledge you have shared about your experiences is much appreciated. We had delayed purchasing our Model S until we received assurances that the...

I also went to BrookStreet Hotel to check it out today. The two Tesla spots were taken up by the Porsche SUV and a Prius. Another Prius was parked in the ChargePoint spot. None were plugged in. I was able to park behind these vehicles and plug in my Tesla but could not leave the vehicle as I...
