Yes, the top of the battery takes forever to charge. You will likely get to your destination faster by stopping in Cornwall

There is a bug in the year end update, it had me charging for 55 minutes at Perth to get to Ottawa, with a journey time of 2 hours.

Does anyone know why Perth is showing as "Reduced Service" - I used it twice yesterday and it seemed to be working well.

It works nicely with a 3 SR+ A Better Routeplanner

There is a level 2 close by... PlugShare - Find Electric Vehicle Charging Locations Near You

Ugg. I bought 2 v3 wall connectors for the power sharing feature and now I find out, having installed the first one that I am on Elon time! FFS, I wish this was clearer when you order the thing, I would likely have chosen another solution. Buyer beware :-(

There is no need for a lock, just a place for the charger side connection to latch to. The charger cuts the current when you press the latch release. Not all cars lock the connector for DC charging, but they all latch.

This release is a bit of a disaster. I wear progressive lens in my glasses and this redesign really messes the usability for me. The speed number is much smaller and the large info panel with less information (?) moves the map and media details firmly into the distance part of my vision...

I was in Bancroft today, no change. I had hoped the team that expanded Kingston moved here, but not so far...

Stalls 7 and 8 almost ready to go. I hope they have improved the total capacity of the site too.

Tesla is dominant in the US today, but as with Ford 100 years ago, this will not last. (despite what the fan-bois think) Changing to CCS would allow Tesla owners greater access to charging and also allow Tesla to sell charging to other vendors. European SuperChargers will charge other EVs...

I think Perth was up quickly because Hydro One have gotten their act together and now know how to get these sites installed and approved. Nepean is Hydro Ottawa's first outdoor site, I am sure they are working their way up the learning curve....

It's up, charging now

I went by this afternoon. Nothing is powered up, it could take awhile..... North Bay and Deep River we powered up, but disabled for weeks before they opened.

CT at Coventry Road already has an Electrify Canada installation so this is an unlikely site for a SC in the future.

It's about 2.5 minutes from the 417 and about 4 minutes from the 416, very similar to Kingston and many other sites. This is not a Cornwall diversion.

Latest rumour from the staff working the Perth install via Facebook points to the Nepean SuperCharger being at the Canadian Tire at Robertson and Moodie and being built soon.

I still thing the SmartCentres mall might still be in the running, there is a great location behind Michaels. Screenshot 2020-07-03 At 12.54.55 by Can37 posted Jul 3, 2020 at 12:57 PM

I drive between Ottawa and Picton on a fairly regular basis, though not as much with CV19. In the summer I will drive direct, usually taking 7 and 15, though I do go through Perth sometimes. In the winter I will stop in K-town for 15 minutes and use the 416 or 15 depending on the weather. One...

This should off-load Kingston and make journeys into Ottawa a bit faster. Adding a 100km to make it to Ottawa will be super fast.

Plugshare is showing that the Supercharger is working, no evidence that it was down at all. Last check-in was on the 11th. PlugShare - Find Electric Vehicle Charging Locations Near You

I have fully bought into ToU, I charge after 1:30 am and, when I run my AC, I drop the temperature to 21 at 4:30am and then let it come up during the day to 25 or 26. This really limits my AC costs and is good for the environment. I am not going to change my behaviour, but it sucks.

We have an e-Golf as well as out 3. The e-Golf is a great city car, easier to drive than the 3 and much more maneuverable, the turning circle is tiny and it has really good visibility from the driver's seat. It is nippy, very comfortable, very quiet and very well built. They are starting to...

I did a look-see about a month ago, no signs of any construction at the "site" which I am 99% certain is not the site. I looked at the mall on the other side of the street, again no joy.

It might be at the permit stage, but as of a couple of months ago, there was no permit application with Renfrew. I think this site is a long way off. I am not even sure they have picked a site.

2030 is soon in Elon time, it should happen about the same time as Cyber truck deliveries start.

Tesla's quest for self-driving is happening in a world where there AI/Machine learning has brain cancer. The last few versions have introduced new and "interesting" phantom braking issues and the symptoms have spread from Auto-steer to plain cruise control. In my case, I have a Model 3, no...

The more choice the better, both versions of the e-Tron are good cars, if you prefer a Tesla, that's fine for you. I suspect less than 50% of car buyer's know how much power their car has or how big their gas tank is. Infrastructure is where the rubber hits the road and this is where Tesla shines.

I charged at Deep River yesterday, all is well. I got over 160 kW peak in my SR+.

I use the premium features on road trips and sometimes to google things around town. $15 is far too expensive for my use. Knowing a bit about how much big accounts pay for mobile data, Tesla are making out like bandits on the deal. It's a shame, for $5 a month, Tesla would still be making...

100% this is Electrify Canada, that's an ABB charger in the photos above and it was announced by CT as such.

I think this is highly unlikely, Canadian Tire has been very proud of their locations and if they had Tesla at this site too, they would be boasting about it.

Without the normal traffic you would need to post guards at the entrances to keep out the local population. Given that not one car is charging at any of the other SCs in the area, closing this site seems utterly reasonable. Being upset about this closure like complaining that you can't get...

So your theoretical desire to drive to Ottawa and charge at this particular charger takes precedence over the health of the staff that would be needed to keep the parking lot open? You are a piece of work, please stop.

Roger, you are not impacted by this closure, the country is in crisis, Tesla drivers are seen by many as entitled and you are certainly adding to that. The SC is one of a large number of chargers in Ottawa that are still operational and Casselman is not far away, this has no impact. With the...

Please don't contact the press, please don't complain, please remember that we are not entitled Audi drivers. Closing the SC in Ottawa is a small inconvenience in a worldwide catastrophe. We should all be staying home anyway. If you are downtown and are in need of a charge there are lots of...

I have walked by this massive transformer setup outside Panera and wondered why it was there, I guess we know now.

This is an Electrify Canada Site. I thought the SC was planned for the Smart Centre?

"This Spring" or this spring Elon time?

I called our local Tesla Service Centre, they use 70% isopropyl alcohol on paper towels to clean stubborn stains and they said that this is safe for all surfaces in the car.

I added it using the App, you select the option under upgrades, pay your $450 and a few seconds later you have heated rear seats. I think your car needs to be connected to Wi-Fi to get the update.

I have an SR+ in Ottawa and have no regrets. Two features I wanted at the time - advanced connectivity and heated rear seats have now been added so I could not be happier. I went to Austin for Fully Charged Live, a 7000 km road trip in winter with no issues. I could have done the trip a few...

Bancroft is showing on the Tesla site - Bancroft, ON | Tesla Canada

Rated range is just the kWh available / fixed efficiency, it does not change by how you drive, it is just a representation of available charge in the battery.

The EPA has not tested the Model 3 as far as I can tell, the documents on the web are Tesla tests that the EPA approves. See https://iaspub.epa.gov/otaqpub/display_file.jsp?docid=46584&flag=1 It is important to note that the manufacturer gets to choose the derating factor for the tests - Tesla...

So just to be clear, it is my fault the wipers, a 110 year old technology don't work on my car?

I think removing the stalk controls at the same time plays to this too. If there was a stalk, I would be back to a car with working manual wipers and this would be less of an issue. Using the screen to control the wipers is a pain and unsafe as you really need this when AP has given up due to...

My car was built in June 2019. I have had other cars with auto wipers over the last 10 years, my e-Golf has a great system, works well all the time. Tesla's approach to auto wipers seems to be flawed - the cameras are not able to see the rain in all lighting conditions and poorly done, if you...

I have just returned to Ontario on a long road trip. I upgraded to 2020.4.1 in New Orleans and headed back to Ottawa the the next day. Over the 3 day trip I encountered precipitation of all types, from warm drizzle through tropical thunderstorms. Moving north we had just rain, then wet snow...

I got a bit under 100kW, I am not sure if this was due to the low temps or if they had not set the charger to full power yet.
