Wow. That you seem to think governments should be run like a household really says a great deal about your inability to offer useful information in this area. Here are a few links for you: One More Time, the Government Is NOT Like a Household or a Business Nation-states aren't households...

A good percentage of the voters in the US voted for Trump as well. Just because a number of people vote for something doesn’t mean it’s a great idea. It’s also worth keeping in mind that half the population falls below average in terms of intelligence so waving shiny baubles like cheap beer as a...

You should look harder: Vehicle Incentives Colorado looks to have a 5k + 7.5k tax incentive, which works out to 16.4k CDN. Plenty of others offer extra incentives on top of the base 7.5k federal incentive. Further, while I'm sure there are some inefficiencies in cap and trade, that's true of...

Plenty of states end up around 10k US between state and federal rebates, which is a bit over 13k CDN. Since it is (or was) funded by cap and trade, I’m fine with polluting companies paying for generous rebates. In a proper system, the rebate would gradually decrease as EVs reach price parity and...

Do you see a grey headlight icon with an ‘A’ in it? Just turning on the option in settings doesn’t enable them, you have to try to turn on the high beams by pushing the left stalk forward as well. Also, it’s based on the cameras behind your rear view mirror, covering your headlights shouldn’t...

To submit the charger rebate, you need to have your EV registered and plated, so that won’t work. You can have it installed, I believe, 90 days in advance, but the rebate will still have to wait.

You guys keep telling yourself that it it makes you feel better for having voted for a woefully unqualified idiot to lead the province. But sure, I'm sure the guy who didn't even bother with a fully costed platform will save us all from this 'awful fiscal mess' in a manner that isn't at all...

I’m sure they’re not literally all idiots, but it’s close enough.

I’ve already submitted the paperwork and I’m still worried I won’t receive the rebate. We probably won’t see the SR model here until the new year, so you’ll be out of luck if you try to wait. I wasn’t even willing to wait for AWD.

I submitted a week or so after that but am estimating a mid-Aug timeline for the rebate based on their backlog.

What were your paint issues? I found a few hazy blotches on mine but haven’t had them taken care of yet.

I thought the same thing. However, the wiper button has two states. A gentle press will trigger the wipers and a much firmer press/click triggers the spray. It took more effort than I expected, so try that.

FYI -- if you hit around 50 km/hr the side mirrors fold back out automatically.

Hah, not yet for me. Less than 24 hours away now.

There are tons of reasons without even considering autopilot. Tesla makes fast, beautiful, all-electric vehicles with basically the longest range on the market. You have a fast charging network that is faster and more prevalent than anything else out there, and is integrated directly into your...
