Continental DWS06+ Been through several pairs now. They have excellent traction in the dry and wet. (Even with a bit of snow, but they don’t seem to handle slush very well). The other huge plus is they’re very inexpensive. The tread pattern looks pretty rad as well. Downsides are they’re...

Does anyone know if the 18” Photon wheels will clear the Model 3 Performance (PUP/red Caliper) brakes? I have 18’s that I’ve been using for winter but I’d like to snag another set of 18’s for the other 3 seasons. I think the photons look pretty decent, and it’s nice not to have centering rings...

That’s impressive. You must baby the accelerator pedal. I had a model S for 6 if I kept it much longer I bet my door handle repairs might have totaled that. 🤣 j/k

The 12V wasn’t cheap in my case. I decided to get an aftermarket lithium battery. 🤣. Saved 17lbs though, and my hope is that it might last longer. 🤪

Gotta say, I’m slightly concerned about this as well. I’m just shy of 150,000km on my 2018 Model 3 performance. In the last 6 months, I’ve had to deal with several issues. - Had a restraint error and had to replace the center seat buckle in the rear seat. Drivers seat occupancy sensor became...

Not that it makes that much of a difference but a 2018 M3P is 4086lbs... 😝. I’ll take the weight savings on a car wherever I can get it.

Sorry for the confusion. My original lead acid (49 months old) thew some errors this morning and required replacement. I replaced it with the 30Ah Antigravity.

I installed the 30Ah version today. No more 12V errors. 😀 I wrapped mine in a thin blanket of insulation foam, to help keep it warm in cold weather since I heard that Tesla’s were complaining in cold weather with the lithium battery Mountain Pass Performance sells. It’s 17.6lbs lighter...

I’m doing it for the weight savings. And hopefully it will last longer than the OE lead acid battery

Is the ATG-51R (on the European auto source website) the same battery at the AG-51R? I can only find the AG-51R on antigravity and other resellers websites… I assume the 24Ah version is fine for a model3? Thanks!

I bought a inventory 2018 Model 3 Performance (brand new with only 50km on it) as I was looking for the best deal and didn't want to wait 3 weeks for a new one. It was from a local dealer who got it direct from Tesla the same day. This was on July 8th. 8 days later, I could have bought a M3P...

Salt and a lack of use... My last minivan (Sienna) had the brakes last longer.

Another data point so you all won't be disappointed in ~5 years... I took my Model S for a provincial safety inspection as I have it up for sale. They say front and rear pads and rotors need replacing. :(. Costs about $2000 CAD. I have 116,000km on the car and it's a hair over 6 years old...

I'm looking for instructions on how to access Fuse Box 1 on a pre facelift Model S (2013 P85 FWIW) It's buried in the frunk and I'm not sure what to remove or how to remove it to get access. Specifically I'm looking to remove the fuse for the yaw sensor (F12) so I can disable stability...

I just had this happen to me this morning about 4 times. Odometer would show zero for a couple seconds. I only noticed because the car stopped making a sound for the turn signal at the same time.

This sounds awesome. Hopefully I can help out or take part at some point in the future.

You could alway buy this and swap the battery. 29k gets you an 85kWh battery and a lot of spare parts! 2014 Tesla Model S 85 just arrived at Pic N Save! | used cars trucks | Hamilton | Kijiji

I only noticed this yesterday for the first time. I saw the 2 numbers diverge as much as 4km while I was driving. Then one number would sit still for several minutes while the other one caught up. Very strange indeed.

VIN ends in 4242 built before parking sensors were available. The backup camera is very useful when parking (even when parking forwards). When you see the yellow/white lines that mark the parking spaces in the backup camera you know you are far enough forward. :) After some lengthy...

Very interesting. I'm used to reading posts on here like "I sold my 911 because I was never driving it anymore". I don't commute to work and don't anticipate doing it in the future, I also don't make a lot of long distance trips either which eliminates both of your main Tesla use cases...

Cool. If I had a P85D with autopilot I probably wouldn't consider giving it up either.

I saw it at the auto show last year. Beautiful vehicle. If I didn't have 5 kiddos (and need the 3rd row up at all times) it would be a great family vehicle. 15 cu ft behind the 3rd row is less than 50% of the cargo space of any minivan... Not practical for us.

I have the rear facing seats :) I got them installed last summer. I have a 9 year old Toyota Sienna for when we all need to go somewhere. I don't think I need to own 2 vehicles that seat 7, but maybe I'm mistaken... - - - Updated - - - I've had my Model S to open lapping half a dozen...

Thanks for the useful feedback. If you remember where you read that the RS has less personality than the ST/isn't as fun to drive please point me to it. I hadn't seen anything like that yet. I think the only thing I'd really miss from the Tesla is the instant torque, and perhaps I'd loathe...

First a quick disclaimer: Please only post on the thread if you know what a Ford Focus RS is. :) No one liners please like "It burns gas, eww!" Here goes... I'm very strongly considering snagging an open allocation this week for a Ford Focus RS. My current car is a 2013 Model S P85...

Sounds like Chrysler didn't cheap out too much on the EV portion of the Pacifica Hybrid. 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid: More Details On 30-Mile Plug-In According to the link it will run in EV mode all the way up to 120mph (pretty fast for a minivan!) if the accelerator is pressed gently enough...

8C is just where active heating starts no? I think the regen limit would start to kick in higher than that? ie. 10-12C?

I did hit Woodstock in both directions! The distance is only 150km from Woodstock to Chatham, but evtriplanner said to expect a 224km rated drop, for 5% above speed and -9C. Driving those 300km in the summer is a piece of cake, but in the winter especially after letting the car cold soak for...

I was wishing yesterday that the Woodstock SC was farther west (ie. London) or that the Comber was farther east (ie. Chatham). I had to do a Hamilton -> Chatham roundtrip yesterday with less than 2 hours in Chatham. Thankfully the SunCountry EVSE at the Chatham mall was unoccupied. I still...

/\ THIS. I'm only keeping my X reservation just so I can check it out once they have one at the closest showroom. I'll likely be in the market for a Pacifica in the next year or two. allpar has done a great job of reading all the press releases and putting them into a more manageable...

So what's the latest on when Lawrence Ave or Yorkdale have a Model X to see/drive?

Haven't canceled yet but I may after getting a chance to see one at a local store. I can't justify having an X and an S, and I don't think I want to give up my S (plus ~50 grand) to have an X. That and I think our minivan is likely a more practical vehicle at this point. Passenger and cargo...

Stumbled across this: 2014 Tesla Model S 85 just arrived at Pic N Save! | used cars trucks | Hamilton | Kijiji It's not mine and I have no connection with the seller. Just thought some of you may be interested. :)

Trying to trick us into using the new one I suspect. :)

Wasn't it the government that mandated the phaseout of coal electricity generation in Ontario???

Got mine in the mail today. There is no way I'm parting with my old 40A capable adapter. :)

That is my biggest beef, and probably the only thing that annoys me.

I didn't have time to read all 24 pages, but I'm pretty disappointed. No performance improvement that was in the beta version (however infinitesimal at least no mention of it in release notes) and no tire pressure readout. :( I guess torque sleep is neat.

That's kind of crummy as I'm >40km from Oakville! But I guess I can demand they send a ranger since I've paid for an anywhere service plan. :)

FWIW I think this e-mail only went out to US reservation holders. :) Nothing for me with a production Canadian reservation. (and yes I get all e-mails from tesla)

I think a Mercedes Sprinter with 200+ miles of electric range and access to super chargers would be perfect for me. Heck I'd even settle for a PHEV Sprinter with ~50 miles range.

Why do keep people calling the X a minivan or a minivan competitor? Minivans have more cargo space than 90% SUV's/CUV's, you have plenty of flexibility with folding seats for cargo or removing them entirely also. You can *gasp* have a roof rack on a minivan as well. By this logic a minivan...

No, that's one reason why I'm still considering Model X. It is helpful to have a larger single storage area however, (ie. for a double stroller)

I followed the XC90 really closely before it was unveiled. Then I saw the pitiful 10 cubic feet of cargo room behind the third row. It definitely won't work for our family of 7. Although I'm not sure the Model X is big enough either. (When is Tesla going to actually release the specs???) I...

Except the tires/rims from your Model S probably have a lower load rating than what is on the Model X already (as it is heavier to begin with)

This is pretty off topic, but the V class is the luxury version of the Vito which is a mid size van. It comes to North America this month and is called the Metris. The Sprinter is a full size van and is much larger. :)

Staggered means wider tires in the rear than the front. Although from what I've rear all X's have slightly wider (10mm) tires in the back.

Unfortunately you can't buy one in North America. :(

I believe I read it has 6-8" ground clearance or something like that. (That's greater than the MS)
