Finished the job late yesterday, including PPF install at the bottom of the doors.
Happy with the results. Had to cut the front pair, since there is a bump, just above the two clip
I struggled to put back the original clips, as they are quite short and the extra couple millimeters the flaps...
Likewise I thought the "design" left somewhat to be desired for 130$ cdn...
So, I went looking for cheaper alternatives, that might just be throwaway, when/if the market brings a more compelling solution.
Anyway, I found these cheap (20$ cdn / pair) at my local Canadian Tire.

For UK Model S owners :
Well, summer 2016 is coming up ... and planning for vacation is under way.
Our family is heading to London/Edinburgh in late July, and would consider a Home+Model S swap if someone in the area would like to visit Montreal, Quebec, around the same time. Our home is...
Yes, no "extra" charges, other than shipping, though FedEx.
Sometimes the shipping company dings you a few weeks after the delivery, with their surprise "fees". Like a 25$ brokerage fee to tell you your item has no duty.
But it seems FedEx does not play these games.
I had the problem too, for the first six months. It is Tesla specific as the old remote worked correctly, but not from within the car.
So one day I decided to try something : I took a 15 feet phone wire and connected it to the Liftmaster short wire antenna.
I brought this extended wire all the...
Have a look at the HDHomeRun device (http://www.hdhomerun.com/), a network connected dual ATSC tuner to connect to your HDTV antenna.
You get to consume the content through a variety of devices like tablets, players, etc.
Plus their upcoming solution : HDHomeRun DVR. The DVR re-imagined...
I could not find the pictures I took as I cut mine, but then I found where the inspiration for this project came from.
It was another thread from this site : Center storage, cup holders and floor mats
Yes, they are. It simply is because it was cut off. There is a section of about 2 inches after the deep storage box, that needs to be cut off so it will fit under the screen.
And the seller even mentions the same problem I have with the cover not being able to slide more than 2 inches...
Because it is. Here it is : Amazon.com: TSI Products 54215 Clutter Catcher Grey OEM Look Minivan Console: Automotive
I did this DIY project 2 years ago before going on a road trip. It seems it would be easier today, as the sides seems to be seperate from the main body.
You still need...
I researched this recently, as I am going to attend a conference at UofOttawa in June.
The best view I found, of all public chargers is from the CAA site : CAA Electric Vehicle Charging Station Locator
BTW, UofOttawa`s Brooks parking has six parking/charging spots reserved for electric...
Tesla should always include L2 chargers next to the superchargers.
Think about the selling opportunity: Other brand of cars get to see all the different colors of Tesla Model S, come and go, while they charge on the L2 chargers... :-)
1) Leave the night before and sleep (and charge) at Lake Morey Resort. They have a garage with a 14-50 plug :
Montreal, QC to Ogunquit, ME, USA - Google Maps
2) the short and scenic route :
Montreal, QC to Ogunquit, ME, USA - Google Maps
I bought the 1/2" last year and it works great. At 54$, it is a great value.
You will need to add a 3 inch extender when using it, as the head does not rotate and you end up with the handle scratching the side panels.
Il manque un cas qui peut aussi se produire si la batterie est vraiment très froide, par exemple, si stationnée pour la journée par -10C.
Il apparait alors un trait pointillé dans la section consommation d'énergie qui indique que les accélérations seront limités. La batterie se réchauffe...
At the very least, in the interim and before the snow falls, Tesla could use its connection to put an HPWC at another Ramada Inn location, like the Trenton location :
From Ottawa : 248 km + 170 km to Toronto
And From Montreal, via Cornwall : 268km (might be tight for a 60 in winter...
I have an example of an upgrade that happened on mine : one of the handles stopped extending a few days before my annual service. So they changed all 4 because there was a newer design less prone to such failures.
They could have stopped at just the broken one. But with this little...
Another option is the Le Germain and Alt Hotels in Brossard and Montreal. The owner mentionned that they should have HPWC soon....
Yhe one in Brossard is 204 miles from Albany.
Yes, I had this problem too and SC adjusted the steering rack and pinion. it would travel too far at the limits.
But, if you hear the "click" just when starting from slow speed, it is likely the other problem.
This was last discussed here : http://www.teslamotorsclub.com/showthread.php/32939-Toronto-to-Montreal-how-safe-is-it-to-rely-on-Best-Western and a few other threads.

I second the Cornwall option, which we used both ways as we did our annual pelerinage to Prince Edward County. Just came back a few hours ago.
It seems closer to the highway than the Kingston BW, and also more importantly, as mentioned before, the cord is long enough to allow to park in the...
Move to Canada ... or just ask your friendly service tech to enable DRL always on on your car. It is after all just a switch that must be turned on in the Car configuration screen on the console of the car.
In the VisibleTesla app, when looking at the details popup window, which I guess...
I like this project a lot, so when I saw this Sylvania MOSAIC LED ambiance lighting kit at Costco in Canada, going for 32$, I bought two. They are quite versatile, with a remote control to change colors (15 colors + white) , intensity as well as effects like fading, strobing, dimming. It...
Yes, being from Quebec, my music collection has a significant portion from local artists, which often includes accentuated characters in either the file or directory names. These are simply ignored and not shown in the UI.
It seems toe be related to the filesystem, since the same accentuated...
Iz, under what conditions do you do your charging : inside/outside ? temp ?
Giving me hope, because i am getting the same low numbers on standard charges since a few months, on my 60kWh, that is a week older than yours ...
Get in line, and buy the car, you won't regret it!
And then in six months, when you bring your car in for little fixes, you will be happy no one ruined your service experience by having you drive a Chrysler Town and Country, like it happened to me, last month :-).

Bad UMC ...
Don't rule out a bad UMC. I had a similar problem with mine during the first few days after delivery.
It would start charging at 40 amps for 10-15 minutes, and then go down to 10 amps.
I tested the car with J1772 at 70 amps, to rule out a problem with the car, and then at...
ReseauVer from AddEnergie has four stations in Gatineau:
Galeries de Hull, 320 boul. St-Joseph, Gatineau, QC, J8Y 3Y8 - Cost: $ 1.00 / hour
You'd need a card and to have previously registered first here : Membership and rates
Yeah, but you'll need to buy this monstruous Tesla adapter to use this charging station : Shop Tesla Gear CHAdeMO Adapter
I guess I will wait for the Superchargers ... :-)
This is good news for the Leafs and iMiev who suddenly become usable for longer drives...
