Interesting - the cost of repairs are increasing so I can see that being a reason for insurances rates to go up. But given all of the price cuts in the last year or so replacement value for Teslas is way down, is it not?

Correct. My bad!

Is this orientation of the SCs, rotated π/4 radians a new practice? I haven't seen then in any of the SCs that I have used.

Why is there a thread about Tesla service in the UK in this sub-forum?

I have had to replace 5 handles in my 9 years of ownership.

What's the adventure of Auld's Cove vs Antigonish? Being 50km farther from previous SCs? I have to think that pretty much all vehicles going to Auld's Cove would have come through Antigonish. Or even Port Hastings?

I chat with other Tesla folks at the SCs. Not quite like the old days when I first got my car in 2015, but it is still fun to talk to other Tesla drivers.

This is the same with every default marker. The marker is put in the centre of the name on Google maps. Like this: And this: And this:

Look at the most popular vehicles being sold in North America. The F150 and Model 3/Y are both up there. Most buyers of an F150 don't need a pickup, a Model 3/Y provides as much utility as a truck. What does CO2 have to do with road taxes? Pricing negative externalities like forms of...

They also don't pollute at the tailpipe, either CO2 or other types of pollutants. That should be promoted. When you buy electricity in Ontario you are paying HST so both levels of government are getting some revenue, albeit less than from gasoline. They are a bit heavier, but not necessarily...

From the story. FYI, the government in Alberta is very right wing, they recently paused approval of new wind and solar projects until they could figure out a framework for remediation of such sites after they reach the end of their useful life. Meanwhile Alberta has thousands of abandoned oil...

Not wanting to be out anti-woked by Saskatchewan, Alberta is going to implement an EV tax of $200 starting next year. Saskatchewan has had an EV tax since 2021. https://thelogic.co/news/shift/alberta-ev-tax-puts-focus-on-trend-towards-heavier-vehicles/

What are the new SCs on the recently updated maps for Southern Ontario. Bowmanville seems to be one, I don't think that was there before. Is the third SC for Markham new? There are also three coming soon in Mississauga - are any of these new?

I put this in the Auld's Cove thread, but the Canadian Tire could be a good location:

For the Truro site - what about the Canadian Tire? Tesla seems to have an agreement with Canadian Tire and they have several SCs her in Ontario in Canadian Tire lots. And that looks like it could be a good location in Truro. Like where I have drawn a red circle in this map:
