    Ordering or Online Printable Pamphlets?

    My service centre here in Vancouver keeps a big box of Model S pamphlets. I just drop by when I'm close to being out and get a big handful to keep in the rear well. My wife doesn't like to answer the questions so she just hands them out. I've also used them for our electric vehicle association...

    Leather care / sealant

    Our service centre here in Vancouver swears by Mothers leather cleaning for removal of stains. There was a pen mark on our leather when we picked up the car and it took seconds to remove it. I purchased some and had some dirt come off of a shirt and it also worked very well. For my last car and...

    Quiet Revolution (pun intended)

    Shhhhhh, not so loud! Waiting for my shiny green MS to come any week now. Have been asking everyone that I can think of that might have anything to do with electric vehicles if they are thinking about infrastructure, incentives, anything. My strata allowed me to paint my garage area and put in a...

    Canadian Production Discussion

    Was there yesterday (Vancouver service) and only 3 customer cars left. I don't think they are letting anyone play in the cars as they still setting up the service centre. We went to Bellevue before Christmas on a whim and were fortunate enough to score a test drive. We had already reserved on...

    Would you Buy Model S if it had an ICE instead of Electric?

    Definitely not. My first reason is environmental i.e. no more gas and trying to make a better future. This may not be the right way but it is something I can do as an individual and in my mind a positive step. The car being this advanced is just a bonus. Already have changed many of my lights in...
