Part of the problem with the X is the low weight limit for unsupported racks. It's 120 pounds, which after the weight of the rack mount is factored in, is rather low. The key is to do an aftermarket hitch to alleviate the issue. The factory mount is convenient, but just doesn't hold weight.

FINALLY! I got it with 2022.20.18 yesterday. After taking a rather hairy initial drive in the dark, I've changed a few of the standard settings to "Chill" and reduced the overage on the speed a touch. Whatever the "Normal" setting is for the way it works, I'm damned well wondering what...

1) Too many variables since you haven't indicated when you plan to sell your car. If you're thinking of selling it in Canada, it might not work since there are certain restrictions (French displayed on warnings, etc) that might prevent you from doing so. It used to be that there was a difference...

So, once you put the car in park, it takes roughly 15 minutes for the headlights to turn off if you do absolutely nothing. The only other alternative is to get out of the seat and get back into it. The seat sensor helps to determine whether to leave the ancillary functions on.

What was your order date? If you have an order that's over a year old, I don't think it applies, however, it's also dependent upon the language of the luxury tax.

2022.20.9 is what I'm at. About 1200km driven, 200km AP over the past 30 days. Thanks for the info on finding it. All I know is that driving on AP through the Toronto-Hamilton corridor with a distance setting of 2 is absolutely unnerving, so have raised it to 3 which seems to be aligned with my...

Is there any way of telling exactly how far you've gone on AP? I'm sure I've well passed ALL the minimum requirements with a score sitting at 93 and still nothing.

The issue, at least to me, is whether the internal damage is done despite the software patch. This is one of those things that unless it breaks or Tesla is willing to spend an inordinate amount of time and money looking into, we simply won't know until it's too late.

None that I would comment on in a public forum at this point...

Technically, I've waited for 6+ years, I've only had the opportunity to "apply" for the beta since 2020 due to it only being open to the US previously as well as hardware/software requirements that needed updating. Yes, it's improved since I've first got AutoPilot, but am surprised that I've not...

Well, lo and behold I got an update. I'm now at 2022.20.9. Still no invite for the FSD beta. Still sucks.

Not including at least a 400 mile range is a mistake, I think. Seeing the cancelled S Plaid+ with - what? 800 miles of range had me seriously considering it.

LOL. I'm on 2022.20.8, so no, I'm behind in all regards - dunno why as I've had "Advanced" on since the get-go. I must've PO'ed someone at the top at some point. Still sucks.

Heated windshield maybe, but it wouldn't be perfectly horizontal across the windshield if the wipers themselves were heated.

Uh...nope....still nothing - as usual despite a score of 93. This sucks.

Just out of curiosity, has ANYONE taken delivery of a Model X refresh in Europe?

Just avoid Active Green and Ross. I just had a tire replaced by Tesla (flat tire with damage to the sidewall), but tried to get a quote from AGR who are nearby. They would only sell me a set of 4 because "it's recommended by the manufacturer" and "it'll damage the transmission". Even though I...

On the fence. Didn't need the extra power on the LR, but did add the performance upgrade (software) to compensate. The biggest issue is ride quality - I swear that the Performance had a better ride. Still prefer the LR overall. Of course, other regrets will always happen down the road as Tesla...

That's good. In Toronto, there's no way in hell to get the 98+ to pass.

It appears your wishes might be coming true...Sherway Gardens Supercharger Upgrade

You might try one of the Tesla storefronts. I think Sherway might have one for test drives, although quarter ends tend to be an issue with availability.

If you haven't, then take a drive in each. From the way I see it, the Performance actually seemed to have a better ride than the LR despite the larger wheels.

Any idea what they're upgrading them to? Will they just be higher output or will they also include a CCS handle?

On a brighter note, the sky is falling - I mean it's raining. Time to go and soak one's head in the rain. Meanwhile, I still can't get anywhere near a high enough score to get into the beta - so I'll live vicariously through the ones who do get it.

So, this morning there was a light rain and initially I thought that perhaps the windshield had cracked. However, closer inspection shows that there are 3 horizontal lines going completely across it (bottom, middle, top). I'm assuming that these are heating elements? You can see each of them by...

Interesting to see how the Model X did in this test.

I've had it for a couple of months and find that I still miss the turn signal at times. Although the indent helps to locate the proper areas for each, the switch doesn't always engage. So far as the gear selector - they need to toss that. Too many times it doesn't take input, it's slow to...

With regards to the turn signal stalks, partially true. The old mechanically ratcheted stalks wouldn't work, but the ones on the 3/Y could still have the software applied to do the same thing as the S/X. Personally, the stalks still make more sense than the buttons as 1) they stay relative to...

Didn't get it with ours, however, we did get a free kit from Tesla earlier this year - something I believe they promoted and sent out through email to owners.

There are 250kW chargers nearby (sort of) at the Exhibition grounds under Hotel X. They do charge for parking entry by my understanding of it. I'll wait until after the CNE to give it a try myself.

At this point, it's an assumption. That said, in general the SCs are getting busier so it's probably going to be limited across most locations. As long as you know that you can override it, you should be good to go. A part of it probably has to do with the extra time it takes going from 80 to...

I'm not holding my breath on this announcement. Let's see where it goes now... Tesla is focused on FSD wide release by end of 2023: Elon Musk

As long as the wave isn't replaced by the bird - at least there's still some recognition out there at times.

The issue with reliability is that it's always a moving target. I think that my 2016 Model S would have held up much worse than the 2017. In turn, when I had a 2015 Model S, it was a major step backward in so many ways - starting with horrendously bad seats. I think Tesla is working towards...

I'll answer #2) Misalignment has been noted that causes this. Tesla also has put PPF or something similar to help prevent this which happened (I think) on a specific model year. #3) Model Xs have been noted for creaks, groans and rattles. Thus far, my new one hasn't but then again - it's new...

The backlog alone means you'd be lucky to get one before next year. Discounts? - simply not gonna happen.

Sorry, I'm not qualified to answer whether you're sane or not. X5M vs X Plaid? Up to you in the end but if you've not test driven both, you might regret it. Best of luck with your decision.

I know this is probably something you did, but if the charge cable isn't properly seated, it can give this message. Might also want to reboot if all else fails. Check the handle of the charger and make sure that the connectors inside look good. It may be the charger itself, but that's doubtful -...

Apparently, it's already in place. I'm unsure whether it's in effect everywhere. I didn't get rerouted even though the south Barrie chargers were full. It's unclear what the circumstances are for this to work. I'm on 2022.20.7 Tesla navigation can reroute you to less busy Superchargers

Made the round trip in just under 5 hours of driving today. Overall, Saturdays are better than Sunday drives (especially the returns). Best to start out in the mornings both ways if possible. Afternoons get far heavier in both directions. Part of the slow go around Barrie is due to ongoing...

I'm heading up and back on Saturday (picking up my daughter from camp), so we won't need to come to blows. 😂 If you're planning for charging around Barrie, watch the display and see whether you get a clock/timer on the charger pin on the map. I used the southern one (8 stalls) on the way up...

@Struja All I can say is you're perspective isn't dissimilar to mine in so many ways. I originally had a 2016 for 9 months before a crash wrote it off. During that time, I had a feeling that the pack was insufficient and suffers from premature degradation, there were telltale signs of suspension...

It's on Tesla's charging map, it's near the Oakville Service Centre, so yeah odds are it'll happen. The gamble is exactly where and when it'll open even though it says Q4 2022 - it's dependent upon planning approval, site negotiations, contractors and Tesla's whims. Long and short - look for...

One thing Tesla will have to add is queuing - for those who have to wait, it'll control and prevent people from cutting to the front of the line opportunistically.

I'm hopeful of this, although I also think that if they want to have an immediate impact, the solution will be to open up and convert the existing chargers. Simply getting through permits, planning and the other steps seems to take an inordinate amount of time. Agree with the rest, although it...

So, @everydaychris and @Unclepaul one of the key points you say is, essentially, Tesla's Supercharger network. If Tesla does indeed open it up to others, does that change your opinion? I ask this, because the current charging infrastructure of everyone other than Tesla is what might hold me...

Since you say it's a lifestyle choice, what makes the Tesla better under your circumstances? What do you consider the sway factor in all of this?

They also need to fill in a few more stops toward the north/cottage country/Muskoka. The existing chargers are getting full quickly now. They also need to upgrade to the 250kWh chargers as the A/B pairings on the 150kWh chargers really slow things down.

Having traveled the past few weekends between Toronto and Muskoka, those 28 chargers are getting WELL used. Full at lower Barrie (8 150kWh chargers) on the way up, full at Vaughan Mills (20 150kWh chargers) on the way back. The only issue with the Upper Barrie chargers is that it's a bit of a...

My only issue with any routing is dependent upon what happens at the border. While not a bad plan to charge before going across the border, if you get stuck in an hour or more worth of border traffic, you might have to do a little creative replanning. Thankfully there are options on both sides -...
