IT LIVES

If someone has the time they should ring up bchydro and pester them for info on the power connection. From what I know there's a huge backlog on transformers right now

Some info for reference: Abbotsford SC took about 2 weeks from the fence going on to be activated, and was on the navigation after ~4 days of being on (mar 2020). West Kelowna finished construction Dec 23, 2020, but wasn't activated until Mar 4, 2021. So it could be a while. Last time I was...

I honestly doubt they will ice it as much once they are on. They have no the stalls are off so they just look like wasted parking

Just plugged in my car but no good, the power isn't turned on yet. But any day now!

I ended up having to go through Lillooet to Kamloops, and continuing to Vernon with a friend leaving the car to charge in Kamloops. I cursed BC Hydro's name every second I spent charging in Lillooet, though I can't say enough good things about the people who own the charger there.

Let's be a little more optimistic, BC Hydro will get their **** together and be done by Nov. 1. I may be biased because I'm traveling down to Vernon on the 1st but oh well.

It's unfortunate, but people like this do exist. Though I should mention I've only seen a non Tesla parked in the reserved stalls four times, including this one. Good news is that I charged at 614km/hr the other day, I bet you can just taste it over in Cornwall now!

Where did you hear about Canmore? I ask because I hope it's not true, a SC in Golden first would be much better for immediate use of the Vancouver<->Calgary route.

Thats great news about the Kamloops SC! did they mention anything about the permitting process? Also I believe it's time to split this thread into East Coast/ West Coast or add a Canadian section under charging standards and infrastructure. Mods?

I was going with the assumption that one would be added in Meritt so that we could have one on either side of both the connector and the Coquihalla. That route is hell in the winter and will be hard on the battery. Kelowna also seems like more of a destination to me and not quite the right...

Perhaps the Saleen version of the Model 3 will be the M3 destroying, track killing beast people seem to be craving. Personally I don't think Tesla would go down this route unless they come up with their own racing development team similar to AMG, M, SRT and the likes.

It's having it done annually that doesnt sit right with me. The service itself is important, but my car was just in for service one month ago and a number of issues were fixed which they themselves noticed. Since the warranty isn't affected by annual service then why try to fix something that...

Would a SC in Vernon fit the bill for the Okanagan? I know the owner of the new Fairfield Mariott there would be ecstatic to lend the required parking spaces to Tesla and the location is near lots of restaurants.

I'm wondering where everyone sits in regards to annual servicing, to me it seems silly considering the car was sold under the ideal that electric cars have no maintenance. However I still plan to get the service done every two years.
