    Supercharger - Ottawa ON

    You can save yourself 47 km next time. I agree that Ottawa isn't typically a travelling-through city. I think better locations would be between Ottawa and other nearby cities. But a Supercharger couldn't hurt to be in capital city of the 2nd biggest country in the world.

    ... And to Mont-Tremblant.

    Supercharger - Ottawa ON

    Also would like to echo the fact that this location is not convenient. It's far from the highway, paid parking lot, and have to struggle with downtown traffic and a congested parking lot. Each 30 minutes or less (maximum 3 hours) $1.50 Next 30 minutes or less $2.00 Day rate (12 hours) $20.00...

    Door Handles Failed

    I'm at Tesla Montreal getting this issue fixed right now. In fact - it seems my car has a mind of its own. - The driver door window does not auto-close and auto-open when using the window up/down button. - The window will move when using the buttons - but the auto-up/down function does not...

    Cold weather and smart air suspension issue

    I had this problem happen twice. My car was also stuck in odd positions. One of them was the front being on low, and the rear on very high ! This was last year - it was very cold (-30C) I even had the car in a heated garage for 8 hours, but the heat didn't help. I figure they replaced a lot of...

    Near annual replacement of 12V battery is typical according to Tesla Service Tech

    Thank you for your comments. I have 122 000km (75 800 miles) on the car. I can believe that the charge cycles of the 12v might prompt a replacement, but I don't believe it's worth $300 considering i am covered under the service agreement and tesla's 8-year battery warranty. I require my car...

    Near annual replacement of 12V battery is typical according to Tesla Service Tech

    Tesla Montreal wants to charge me $300CAD for a 12v battery replacement because of the number of 'charge cycles' on my vehicle. I already had my 12v replaced once when the car was fairly new due to the old 12v battery supplier. I paid for - and am covered for the extended annual service, and...

    Good body shop in Ottawa

    Without seeing the damage - the bumpers are made out of plastic and should be as easy to fix as any regular car. As for the dammage in the aluminium liftgate- it's hard to know if it's just a paint job or anything more. Doug makes a good point - best to ask about experience with aluminium. I...

    Good body shop in Ottawa

    I would go to highland auto body. Ask for David. Also, chamberland auto, in rockland, fixed a dent once in a front bumper caused by a raccoon (not a tesla). They did a flawless job.

    Tesla LONG term storage?

    I would inflate the tires to max pressure on the sidewall (to avoid flat spot), keep the car plugged in, and the battery limiter to 50%. Be sure to lower the tire pressure to normal pressure before taking it out for a drive.

    Crack in 21 inch factory wheel

    I had a hairline crack repaired when the car was new. Quite happy with the results. Been driving on the repair for 2 summer seasons now.

    New UMC?

    What if I don't want to be part of this "Pilot project". My current UMC and 40A adapter work just fine, thankyouverymuch.

    Would a P owner be willing to do me a favour?

    About a year ago, the sport pedals were available for purchase online. They have taken them away :( I also tried to get them at a service centre and they told me they never saw them online before.

    Queen's University EV Charging Stations

    With the Kingston Supercharger not too far away, this charger would be best used as a 'destination' charger. I would use it occasionally. My main concern is with the $30K price. Seems expensive. 2 SCH100 - $5600 Double mount pedestal - $1500 Installation (cables, breakers, green paint...
