Read through them all... honestly, pretty darn good by Reddit standards!

Don't think it was TC kicking in... was already moving and then accelerating harder when the noises kick in, and was on clean-ish road - pretty good traction available.

Hit play on the video above and let me know what you think. The situation: I live in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I park my Model S P85D outside (I know... so mean to it). I plug it in every night. Last night was pretty cold here... -25 Celsius and probably more like -35C with the windchill...

I heard through a friend of the family that Tesla sent a bouquet of flowers. A nice gesture from the company - and hopefully something none of us or our families ever have to experience. Still can't believe this happened. Reading enonymous' account of the events that transpired, living here...

Super sad. This just happened in the city I live in. Probably only around 25 - 30 Tesla owners here. Many of us know each other, so we were doing roll call after the news came out. I didn't personally know this man, but just can't believe it (drive on that street often). Super, super sad. Man...

That's kind of what I'm wondering.... maybe?! It was still blowing air in the car, it just wasn't getting warm. But maybe at that point things we're still really frozen/clogged up. Need more snowfalls to test I guess! Would be nice to have some sort of a message pop up though if that's the...

UPDATE: Heat is working again! Kinda odd... been at the office the last few hours working. Had an email from Tesla that said to check if Range Mode was on (if it was, maybe that was the reason the heat was throttled back). So just pulled open the app to see what the climate temperature was...

Of course!! That's exactly what I did. Not my first day of winter here... but unfortunately, Hi did nothing. :(

On the latest software (v7). Uhhh... they better push an update *fast* if that's the case. Only -7C today, but I'm sure -40 is just around the corner. I'll be a popsicle if it doesn't get fixed. :)

Well, ran into my first *major* annoyance with my P85D this morning. Hopefully it's a minor issue and will correct itself. Issue: Car wouldn't pre-heat this morning, and on my ride to the office it never warmed up at all either. Normally I use the app to turn on Climate control and let the...

New video posted! Experienced my first day of winter today with the car. Made some newbie mistakes (lesson: disable auto-folding mirrors). Car seems to handle fantastic on the slippery roads though. Enjoy the video!

All great ideas, thanks!!

Ok, it's been a while now since I've done a segment in my "World's Greatest Tesla Model S Review Series". Been busy on other projects, but going to work on some new videos soon. My last check in was at 500 miles. I'm now just 3200 miles and *winter* is coming, which is when I think the real...

Depending where you live, chains are definitely an option when it's BAD conditions. For me, also illegal - can't use chains or studded tires. I guess I should have re-phrased the poll maybe as Everyday Extreme Winter non-stud/non-chain Tire of Choice? :wink:

Cool, Danni. Honestly, I didn't think about studded as I created the poll since they're illegal to use where I live. Totally can see studded as being the best choice for where you live.
