    V10 in Canada - what will it come with?

    As it should. I don’t care about the browser but Spotify and Netflix should be available OTA or by subscription to any trim level.

    Sentry mode reports events, but did not record anything

    For the dashcam or sentry mode to record it needs to be setup with a properly formatted memory card/flash drive and the media must stay plugged in at all times. You will get a notification or an event either way but if there’s no memory installed the video isn’t kept anywhere. To properly setup...

    Let's talk winter tires for the 3

    The stock tires are Michelin Primacy MXM4, 235/45-18, 98W. The Costco X-ice are 235/45R18/XL 98H which is two steps below in the speed rating chart. I spoke with three different techs (Willingdon and downtown -expo blvd) and they all said Costco will only go one level lower with Michelin which...

    Let's talk winter tires for the 3

    Confirmed by email from online sales. They won’t honour the $2400 even though it’s still showing on the front page of the listings. They also removed the wheel caps which is very annoying with the $300 price increase. Even though the $2000 US is roughly $2700, it seems pretty crappy for Tesla to...

    Let's talk winter tires for the 3

    I was just at Costco today. They won’t install the X-ice or Sottozero 2’s as the ones they carry aren’t at a high enough speed rating. Apparently Michelin is the only tire manufacturer that will allow one lower than recommended but the X-ice still isn’t high enough. I asked if there’s any way...

    BC EV rebate to run out of money soon?

    Correct. Unfortunately out of luck. It’s sucks that the rebate was changed but some people went to pickup their vehicles and they was no rebate available. They got none of the provincial $5,000. Governments are notorious for changing rules on the fly. Just like shopping at Costco, get it now...

    New member, and a few questions

    Look at the Vancouver VIN thread. It has a wealth of info. But to answer your questions. Yes you need to confirm finance approval that was offered to you. Wait until just before delivery for final numbers. They won’t guarantee the provincial rebate until closer to as funding isn’t endless

    PPSA fee

    Yes. That’s the fee from the bank for processing your financing. It varies depending on which bank and the length of term.

    Insurance in BC

    Hard to compare insurance quotes. Even moving a few geographic blocks can raise your premium $20 - $30 or more per month. That’s with the same insurer as well. Different companies have wildly different rates depending on your situation and insurance/driving history. In general ICBC is the lowest...

    Model 3 SR+ Included Charger Adaptors

    Just to confirm, you got a model 3? I ordered April 27, took delivery May 12 and it got the Gen 2 set with 14-50 plug. I specifically asked and he went back into the delivery center to find a bag with one. He said “last one with this plug, you’re lucky. We’re not including this anymore”. No toy car

    BC EV rebate to run out of money soon?

    Yes and the ZapBC program is depleted again for this year. Happy I was able to get mine done in time. They will have funding again in 2020

    Insurance in BC

    Your absolutely right. I don’t know where it got that 50% figure from. It’s around 20% which equates to about $400-450 per policy at full discount.

    Insurance in BC

    I did my ICBC at the delivery center (they have an agent on site) and called BelAir on the phone immediately after. They likely won’t let you leave the delivery center without proof of insurance for collision/comp if you’re financing. I had to show proof of private. insurance to the ICBC rep...

    Vancouver BC VIN .

    I’m guessing that’s with ICBC. Might be worth checking with private insurer for optional coverage. Mine was quoted at $800 less per year with the discounts I qualified for.
