My P3 is due for some brakes. Are there any good Canadian suppliers for OE (or equivalent) pads and rotors, or do people just stick with dealer parts? Don't need any performance upgrades but also don't want cheap low quality parts.

I noticed your question wasn't answered, so here goes: This is normal in Canada. Your insurance will cover the repairs to your car and then recover the cost from the other person's insurance. If they don't have insurance, most policies in Canada come with uninsured driver coverage, so you're...

Gotta say I am just impressed that instead of jumping on the the chrome delete bandwagon, you just leaned right into it. Respect.

Looking to buy a late 2022+ Model S Plaid. Must have the updated Matrix headlights and taillights. Considering the current inventory discounts on Plaids of C$140k/US$105k for new cars: Offering up to CAD$120k / US$85k for any model in near-perfect condition with low mileage (under 10k km/ 6k...

+1, always got great service in Ottawa, both mobile and in service centre.

I've been looking at a recent Model S and the US stock is nearly the same price as here. After the extra fees it'll probably come out to the same price. Doesn't seem worth it unless you find a great deal.

Ottawa folks can order from Montreal stock according to the SA here, since we're so close they'll still transfer it. The general policy is no transfers, but if you have a good service centre like we do here they can still do it.

I'm surprised that this actually worked for you. I test-drove the Lucid and the lane-keeping functionality barely worked in clear daylight. Even the sales rep that was in the car with me told me not to rely on it and that while it would provide some assistance, it wouldn't fully keep the car in...

Consider a 2020 P3? Great shape, details in thread: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/canada-2022-model-3-performance-w-warranty-full-ppf-winters-ccs-charging.295344/ It's in Ontario, Canada but I'm happy to work with you to get it across. Depending where you are in Michigan that might...

Trade + cash towards a '22+ Model S Plaid considered!

I always call, especially if it's a dealer. Talking to someone in sales who stands to make a commission will get you way farther than a cold email that could end up anywhere.

+1 to this... when I bought my 3 I actually got a great trade deal for my Mazda. Now I'm trying to move up to an S and got quoted CAD$36k (US$26k) for a 2020 P3! :rolleyes: They really don't want to sell me an S...

As of today it is now 71,957km

2020 Model 3 Performance w/ Warranty, Full PPF, Winters, CCS Enabled... $59,000 https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/canada-2022-model-3-performance-w-warranty-full-ppf-winters-ccs-charging.295344/

Edit: This is a 2020, not 2022. There doesn't seem to be a way to delete or correct the post 🤦‍♂️ Best deal in Canada on a Tesla Model 3 Performance. Adult owned, garage kept, all service done by Tesla in Ottawa. Car is in excellent shape and needs nothing. - Still has Factory Warranty until...

I'm strongly debating this now as well. I don't care about HW4 because I don't care about FSD. However I've been watching the inventory for the last week since this has been announced and it's barely dwindling. In fact, they seem to keep adding more and more cars, at ever so slightly lower...

I'm looking at making the opposite move. Having driven the S, the biggest compromises I immediately noticed going back to the 3 after the test drive: - The interior is nowhere near as nice. Less sound insulation, less luxurious materials, more basic layout. - Less range, less storage - Sound...

CT Carling - this location specifically. I literally just had a puncture repair done there today. Highly recommend, the service manager has been doing the race tech inspections for most of the MCO members in the city for well over a decade and has done a lot of great work for me over the years.

You should read your purchase agreement to be sure. Mine definitely had it in there, and I have opted out.

I covered this a few posts above.

100% this. KLASSE wheels for a more classic-motorsports feel.

Can anyone recommend a shop in Ottawa that will do a full rear window tint with a 20% ceramic film? Goldwing only does it in 40%, and no other reputable shop that I've found will do the entire window in one piece (Shades, Derand, Luxe, Vlad/Upper class, etc) I was going to go to Toronto to get...

I have to disagree with this one - I found the Hakka to be one of the best wearing winter tires. I managed 5 winters on my last set before they hit the wear bars, and performance didn't really start to drop until that last winter.

+1 for Hakka. It eclipses the x-ice and the blizzaks, both of which I found reduce in performance significantly after the first winter. Make sure it's the R3 version.

Looks fantastic!

> out of curiosity, I also check for Nokian tires, and they don't seem to have winter tires that matches Tesla model 3 specs... Which specs are you talking about? I have a set of 235/45/18s right here beside me, exactly the same size as the OEM tire. Weight restrictions still have a ton of...

Just gonna leave this here. https://www.costco.ca/phantom-custom-fit-car-floor-mats---starting-at-$199.99.product.100017140.html

Bumping this thread! Buying a set for winter and would love a code. Thanks!

This is not terrible for OEM alloys, but it's not an option for those on the Performance package. Pirellis are not bad, I've had a set before, but there are many versions of that tire and the ones pictured are not the 3s, I'd check what you're actually getting. For the same price, a top end...

I got a set of Fast EV-01+ wheels and Nokian Hakka R3 tires, new TPMS (Autel MX), mounted/balanced and new lugs for under $3k taxes in. As far as I'm concerned that's the holy grail setup for winter driving. There's no reason you should be paying over $5k after taxes.

Can someone confirm if OEM lugs are safe to use with aftermarket wheels? My understanding is that they indeed have a 60 degree tapered seat which is what most aftermarket wheels require. Asking as local tire shop is trying to upsell me on a winter tire package, and while I know they have a...

The biggest difference is around the edges. Vlad tucks in more edges under the seams, and the ones that aren't tucked in are super clean. The corners are also cleaner, as is any line where things need to be cut freehand. Most of all though I was impressed with his level of knowledge and service...

I've seen both. Goldwing is "good". Vlad is "great". Prices reflect what you get in terms of workmanship, and service. The product is the same. If you can afford it, go with Vlad. If you can't, Goldwing will serve you just fine.

Goldwing is decent. I've seen their job on a Model S and it was pretty good. I've also seen some of their hand-cut work on a Porsche and it was pretty bad. Apparently the Teslas are easier to work on since the panels are a lot simpler. Still recommend Vlad over all the alternatives if quality...

I'd make my choice based on the installer more than the film. I checked out 3-4 different installers, and the quality of the work vastly differs. In the end I went with the person that did the best work + was easiest to deal with. We talked for a while about his experiences with different film...

Definitely situation-dependant. For me, I started working from home in March, which means A/C on all day, more cooking at home. Is my bill higher than it was a few months ago? Yes, but I'm also using more energy, and it would be even higher with TOU.

The charging portion will increase, but the overall bill should still be lower, especially if you're running A/C during the day or cooking / running the dryer before 7pm.

Where did you hear this? AFAIK all Teslas have FM radio. My 2020 certainly does. I can't imagine that being scrapped.

I ordered the non-blue. I know the blue is reputed to help with glare, but I simply don't like the look. A little bit too Fast & Furious for my tastes.

Definitely shop around, but most new car dealers (including Tesla) use the exact same valuation process: they call up an auction house, send photos and a description, and wait for bids to come back. The price you get will vary based on demand that day at whichever auction house your dealer...

Installed these today after a lengthy customs delay. These are so so so worth it. Installation was very easy, all of 5 minutes for both sides, and they have an excellent viewing angle. I did find that for the driver side mirror I had to position it as far left as possible to get the right...

Looking at the Tesla EPC site, it does not seem that the horns have the standard 12V spade connectors. https://epc.tesla.com/#/systemGroups/47350 It does look similar to the "GERMAN DT06-25" plug described on Hella's site. If anyone can confirm that would be fantastic.

Has anyone replaced their horn with an aftermarket one? I find the stock ones to be a bit too quiet to get noticed. I've had Hella Supertones in the past and I found them to be excellent. Any pics of the existing horns, how to access them, or whether or not they use the standard connectors and...

+1 for subforum. Being able to skim through titles quickly is absolutely key to a classifieds section. A single massive thread would be chaos.

Working on this at the moment and I am noticing that the creases on the door handles (where the backing sections meet) won't go away. I can heat and rub all I want, it simply won't budge. The first piece I heated to the point where it stretched so I had to reapply the backup piece. How do I...

Anecdotal, but I've been told to simply use the Bug Report function when this happens.

So thrilled to get these! I had a similar setup on my RX8 and it really makes a difference.

Ok I see the difference now. It was noted as time limited in the configurator page, but not in the popup/details view. I can see how that would be confusing. Curious to see what, if anything, Tesla will do about it.

I see it advertised as > Premium Connectivity (1 year included): Seems accurate?

@SumaPerformance when are these expected to ship?
