Agreed on the old M3 but the M3 Highland also now has ventilated seats, an upgraded sound system and is supposedly 20% quieter than the old M3 with dual-panel glass on all doors and better aerodynamics. It will be interesting to see a true comparison between the two cars.

I’m in the same boat with my 2015 MS 70D. I love the car and it has low mileage (80k kms) but its starting to become a bit of a money pit. Like you I have upgraded to MCU2, have replaced a few suspension bits and had the normal door handle issues. But a potential $25k battery replacement, on a 9...

I should add that I went with the satin black finish from Tesbro. I also decided to get body-color door handle wraps from Abstract Ocean rather than using the black ones that came with the Tesbros kit.

I did it this spring with my 2015 MS 70D with the TesBros kit. The kit was great and they give you two of everything in case you mess up the first time (which I did on a couple of pieces). They have numerous videos on Youtube on how to apply each piece. I wanted to replicate the new MS look...

I had trouble sourcing them in Canada so I ordered mine from TireRack for my Model S in April. Shipping was $173 USD. They arrived in seven days. Great tires BTW.

Under the Software menu you can select either Standard or Advanced updates. If you select Advanced you will typically receive the updates sooner. Some people select Standard even though the updates come later, so they get an update that has been field tested a bit more, rather than getting an...

I got the 2023.26.7 update last Tuesday. So it’s available here in Canada.

Thanks DerbyDave. It makes sense. It’s also funny how mine was incorrect for all this time and just now got fixed.

My 2015 70D with MCU2 recently was updated to 2023.26.7. Since then the navigation audio only comes out of the front center speaker. Before this update it came out of all the speakers. I’ve seen some posts where the opposite behaviour was mentioned (it used to only come from the front center...

InsideEV has this great drone footage of over 3000 Canada-destined Teslas at the port in Shanghai, awaiting shipping. https://insideevs.com/news/672679/tesla-fleet-waiting-for-export-in-china-video/

Tesla Canada is offering discounts on existing inventory (for both demos and new cars). Around $3k of the M3 inventory. For MS it is $10k off plus three years free supercharging. I didn’t see any MY inventory (at least in Ontario).

Mine is at 80k km. The battery warranty and ESA expire this Friday, so I enter the uncharted waters of a fully out of warranty Model S.

Ever since the Rogers LTE outage a few weeks ago, my slacker account logs me out every 48 hours and I have to log back in. It’s a Tesla slacker account. Tesla is troubleshooting this but I thought I would ask if anyone else is having this issue.

I just had an end of warranty inspection on my 2015 MS. I had Tesla do the check. The fee was $178. I had noticed some creaking from the front and they discovered the upper control arms on both sides needed to be replaced. I only had to pay the deductible. I asked how much it would have cost...

Same here. At first it was still 3G but after I did a two-button reboot my LTE service returned.
