Just emailed them and got a reply that production has started...but still no pics (coming soon they said), and now we’re looking at winter delivery.

Thanks for the input. I'm still not sure that the battery is expending energy to heat itself when it's cold out (though not less than -30). Consider the very fact that those dotted lines do appear, indicating that the battery is cold - and the extent of the dotted lines varies with the...

Hello all you technically-minded folks! I've been following this thread and only half understanding it (damn that liberal arts degree!) so I apologize if the answer to the question I'm about to ask has already been stated. Anyhow, I've been experiencing a lot of phantom drain and the Tesla...

Ditto

INPORTANT: BE SURE TO USE YOUR ORIGINAL ORDER DATE (before cancellation) ON YOUR APPLICATION! I emailed a few questions to the MTO and this was one of the questions and answers: 4. I was part of the cohort who ordered their Tesla vehicle prior to July 11th, but then cancelled subsequent to...

That would be SO amazing! Of course, I doubt Ford would do something so obviously in the interest of the province (and so very in-line with his pro-business stance), if it meant playing nice with the likes of Tesla or Musk. I imagine he’s too petty for that.

I agree that it would be a perverse disincentive to tax BEV/PHEV cars separately - but let's remember that Ford is a perverse individual. As such, I wouldn’t put it past him. Of course, not only would you be disincentivizing the direction in which society would need to move, but you’d also be...

To be fair, when I say you won’t end up saving money buying a Tesla, I was comparing it against buying a second-hand, non-luxury vehicle. Even then, if you drive an INSANE amount then you might still end up saving money. However, my whole point in saying this is that I think none of us have...

...and how do you like your new car?

We talk about things like ROI and ROE (Return on Equity) quite a bit. But at some point you have to unabashedly introduce a new metric - ROE: Return On Enjoyment. Very likely this car will never break even money-wise with a new Honda Accord or Civic...and definitely not with a used one. But...

I should hope not. All I’m saying is ‘better safe than sorry’. After all, how much would it suck if you lost the rebate over something so petty?

Hey everyone! This journey in getting a Tesla (and the rebate) has been quite the emotional rollercoaster and many of us have spent many hours on this forum discussing and organizing. I think it might be a fun idea to organize a Model 3 get together in the new year for those of us who canceled...

No. Transferring orders and reservations was always very tricky. In this case I think it’s impossible; the name on the car registration and order agreement, as well as the email, have to match what the government had on it’s list. They will be strict about this. In fact, I would encourage...

...the key is that you have to be on the 'The List'...the parameters of the list and how you get on it are somewhat of a mystery. It seems as though there are people who cancelled and who ought to qualify, who are nevertheless not on the list.

Tenuous - very tenuous. The only way they MIGHT have a case is if they originally ordered the LR RWD but subsequently changed their order after the rebate was yanked. Remember, those two cars were never approved for the rebate.
