All the stalls were down yesterday. I'm lucky enough to have a Chademo adapter so was able to use the new unit (many CCS. 1 Chademo) at the Canadian Tire store, but there were a LOT of pissed Tesla owners who were stuck with no way to charge!

The three semi-local Tesla approved shops are Budds, as already noted above, 427 Auto Collision on Evans Ave., and Leons Auto Body in Toronto. Be very careful using any other shop. It's not that they won't do a good job on the body work, but I've had a couple of shops say that working on Tesla's...

From time to time, both in my previous Model S and now in my M3, the phone app wouldn't connect. Rather than uninstall and reinstall the app on my iphone, I would just reboot the car from the steering wheel by pressing and holding the two buttons at the same time, and that would generally fix...

They do have a telephone crew in the back office at Oakville that perform a number of functions. I wouldn't be surprised if this is quite true.

My M3 delivered Oct 2019 had it, but I bought an isolation kit from abstractocean.com and now enjoy glorious silence! Very easy to install (they have a decent installation video to follow as well).

It can be scheduled with mobile service through the app.

The card, as I recall, is free, but you will associate the card with one of your credit cards or bank accounts in order to 'reload' funds on the Flo card as needed.

BougeRV Trunk liner on Amazon - $69.98 for Model 3, and fits like a glove. Also, I find it less 'slidey' than the Weathertech trunk liner I had on my Model S.

Don't see why you would be having an issue. I had XI3s on my S85 with aftermarket rims last year and had no issues with regen, other than the normal cold weather issues with limited regen when the vehicle is cold until the battery pack is sufficiently heated. THe same thing applied to the...

I second the Kal Tire suggestion. The place in Milton does a ton of Teslas (and have no problem mounting Michelin XI3s on aftermarket rims), but there are a couple of locations in Hamilton, if Milton is a bit far afield for you.

The Ikea chargers in Burlington are notoriously problematic. The Chademo chargers in particular have been non-operative in the past. I suspect the problem lies with the charger and not your adaptor. Have you tried it at other chargers in the area to see if the problem repeats?

As it happens, I have a set of Michelin X-Ice 245/45R19 bought at the Oakville Service Centre last year and installed by them complete with Tesla issue TPMS. Rims are 4 years old with some curb rash but still look very good. I'm trading my S85 in a 3LR later this month so they are available if...

KAL Tire in Milton does a ton of Teslas. Excellent service.

I was talking to 'a guy' at the Oakville service centre (no names to protect him) and he didn't think much of the Pirelli's that Tesla offers on their website. I bought the Michelin X Ice last year for my Model S through the service centre, and they were great over last winter. Far better than...

There's a Chademo in St. Stephen at the Garcelon Civic Centre. The Five Kings Restaurant is right there as well, and it has excellent food.
