I had Metcalfe Electric put in a 14-50 a few months ago and I thought they did a good job at a reasonable price.

Oakville was positively stuffed with cars when I was there around 2:30. I was picking my Model 3 up from service and they were putting new cars to be delivered anywhere they could possibly fit!

I drive 160 km / day and my power cost is about 2x what you quoted with delivery, so the net difference is a bit more. Overall for me it’s two things: 1) a bit of waste not want not - I’ll still use AC to be comfortable but turn it off when not needed and 2) more importantly I know that if I’m...

My same drive tonight with AC on was 138 Wh/km vs the 114 yesterday. That said it was a bit wet for the first while so that may have been a problem too. This is definitely not an exact science.

I think it eats a good amount of energy. Not near as much as heat, but still significant. I’m going to compare with AC last night vs tonight. My drive home is more “downhill” and I did it without AC and measured 114 Wh/km. I didn’t deliberately slow down or hit much traffic either. It’s not...

Based on what I saw on my drive home tonight I need to pay more attention to when I do/don’t need the AC on. I haven’t been very diligent on that front and it seems to make a big difference.

You must have a really good hill to go down on the way home to balance that out!

I think I may be the least efficient of the group so far! I’m at 165 Wh/km and I’ve left my Aero covers on since day one. So far I’ve logged 10,200 km including a roadtrip to Tennesee that we just came back from. I use Standard regen, but no Chill mode for acceleration. I don’t precondition...

Hi all, One more point that may or may not be helpful is that when I took delivery at the International Centre at the end of May, the person who signed my paperwork on Tesla’s behalf had to be OMVIC certified and needed to put their OMVIC number on the document.

I was all ready to black my 3D logos out with a marker too, but once I put the mats in it wasn’t a big enough deal for me to even do that. I do like them a lot though!

Nevermind - missed that you were still on 21.9 - I got 26.1 up from 21.9 recently so I was able to tweak the new settings.

Good to know. I was starting to wonder if it was something to do with my having to put a windshield stone chip claim through and whether or not they could change the model until that was totally tidied up.

Maybe the new Cabin Overheat Protection feature? It does default to on - i.e. it will turn your AC on to keep it at or below 105F. You can either turn it off or tell it not to use AC. It’s under the gear on Safety & Security.

It’s probably a want more than a need. With no fingerprints I don’t need to wipe it at all. I do like the way it looks a bit more matte with the protector on too.

Is anyone else with TDMM still listed with a faux Model S? I don’t mind waiting a few more months for them to remember to call me and raise my premium, but just curious.
