Well they took the whole cable on the other side. So maybe the short cut was their first try.

Walked past a Electrify Canada charger that has not been turned on yet and saw cable coolant puddle beside a pedestal. Then noticed someone had cut the cables. I'm suspecting copper thieves. They have been very active in Calgary lately. Very sad.

I watched that a few days ago. Very interesting to see how the new Octovalve works in transferring the heat stored in the battery to heating the cabin now. Wish we had some way of insulating the bottom of the battery for the winter....

Love the color. What kind of wrap is that?

Sorry. But I’m not the only one tired of paying more than our neighbors for a vehicle. Remember when our dollar was at par: https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.1141083 When I purchased a Honda Odyssey in 2002 the dealership made me sign that I would not sell it to an American. So I guess it can go both ways.

Why two airbag icons?

I have never stuck around long enough to read this screen before. Cute. Also never noticed I could take the aero covers off the image.

No. The ranger came out to my house and I watched him change it. They replaced the 12V twice under warranty. $35 for labor is a great deal. It took him quite a while to take the tub out and then get at the 12V. It is hidden in the upper right side under the cabin air intake.

First question I think depends on which car you own. The 12V in my 2014 S was a bit difficult to get at.

I would also highly recommend practicing track mode on a snow covered parking lot. You can make perfect four wheel drift circles without damaging your tires. Makes even an average driver look like a pro. :)

I like to use 5 km / kWh as an easy math average for most EVs. So you are close. Summer can see 9 winter 4.

I owned two Leafs. The 2011 was at 84% capacity after 8 years and 51,000 km. The 2017 30 kWh one was at 88% at 53,800 km and three years. They were Canadian cars so were not subjected to high heat.

Electrek is saying that the we are finally getting a heated steering wheel but I don't see that on the Tesla web site yet.

Can you try your Mobile Connector on a 240 volt outlet and see if you still have issues?

That’s funny. My wife says she misses our S as well. I will definitely be waiting to see what the new S will offer. I moved to a Model 3 for the same reason. Wanted newer tech.
