    Extreme Range Saving Tips

    We're in Minden, Ontario at a winter driving course. The cold this morning chewed a lot of range off the battery on the way up and they only have a 110V/15A circuit here where we can charge and are only seeing 2 km/hr of charge at the moment. The town was supposed to have a 240V/40A circuit...

    Managing Public Feedback

    Seems like there are numerous posts around both TMC and the official TM forums. I've heard that TM engineers are reading both sets of forums. Given the number of requests for "polish" features it would be nice to see Tesla leverage an app like UserVoice to collect constructive feedback and...

    407 ETR Transponders

    Has anyone else had any luck with their 407 ETR (or similar) transponder on the Model S? I suspect my transponder is dead and have asked the 407 ETR to send me a new one. Speaking with customer service folks they do have a list of certain vehicles which have "metalized" windshields which means...

    Advanced Driving / Skid Schools

    Any recommendations on advanced driving / skid schools in the Ontario/Quebec/New York area? This is my first RWD and I'm already a bit skiddish driving in the winter after having a serious accident with my VW Jetta a few years back.

    What to expect once the car is in production?

    Us Canadian Sig holders are anxiously awaiting the next steps. I would be curious to know what the US sig folks have received as far as communications and process for next steps. At some point I'm guessing there is an email that says we're almost done, some paperwork, an offer for financing...

    Winter tire recommendations

    What are folks thinking of doing for winter tires? Tesla has a 19" Pirelli package for sale. Are you thinking of going that route, if so why? Are you thinking of going another route, if so why? I have traditionally stuck with Bridgestone Blizzak winter tires on our current vehicles but have...

    Charging options?

    I've been starting to read up on the various charging options - is there a good FAQ somewhere? I want to take the 85 kWh Model S on a 470km trip which means I'll need to stop somewhere for a charge. Because it will have twin chargers I'm hoping I can get that top up a little quicker. What I'm...
