Tesla just mailed me to say that FSD is transferable to a new vehicle if I move by September. Since my M3P is four years old they've obviously got their marketing algorithm correctly tweaked! Some questions: 1. Is this deal repeated a lot? Since FSD is now "worth" 19k on Canadian new orders, I...

Any regrets after a month? I'm toying with trading my M3 Performance and Golf in for a MY Performance (I want one EV that can do everything year around and the M3 just cannot transport stuff as well as the Golf - try to get a boxed printer into an M3 if you don't believe me). Actually I won't be...

Hey there, which SwissTrax tile did you go for? Looks spot-on. I hate how my normally spotless and well-organized garage looks through winter, even with a sealed floor. Also hate popping to get something from the car in my shoe-less feet and forgetting about the run-off.

If deleting my Celsius post gets this thread back to its original purpose and allows it to return to the Model 3 forum then that’s fine by me.

Three-quarters of my (non-CEL) holdings are in easily-convertible coins like PAXG (1:1 gold) and stable coins (TUSD and TGBP). These attract high interest rates since people like to do things like buy cars with fiat currency - Celsius loan USD and stablecoins to private individuals. I get the...

Celsius works exactly the same way as banks - they lend the coins out, take interest and pay it out to depositors. They lend a lower proportion of it than banks do typically (ie the ratio is safer) and they pay out more of it in interest. They're less profitable than banks, proportionally, but...

Haven’t read the whole of this thread, so maybe this has been suggested before. Put some of your coins into Celsius (BTC Rewards | 1% Loan | Crypto Lending | Celsius) and take a USD loan. Your coins are used as collateral (and changes in their value are taken into account, on request) and are...

Nope and I don’t tend to modify my cars. I know plenty of people love to upgrade, but it’s never been my way. My RC car habit is a different matter! Buy cheap, mod the thing stealthily to hell and annoy my fellow racers! (Just family and friends, not league) As a hypothetical, if I modded my 3...

Fair points, although I only got the 911 in June :). I wrote my will, as a lot of us of a certain age (51 next Sunday) did earlier this year, I imagine, and realised there were a few boxes I wanted to tick before the executors get their hands on my stuff! So before the ink was dry I bought my...

3P and 992 C4S owner. By any yardstick, at legal speeds, on the straights, the 3P is quicker. Introduce bends, and for this driver (remember this when you start quoting stats at me) the 911 is way quicker. Not because of power or torque delivery. Purely because of feel. The 3 has next to no...

Not seeing mixed comments here, except from you :) - everyone is in favour of 220/240+. Over in Europe it's the only option. The C at 220/240V is nowhere near any danger zone. In my townhouse in Canada it's 208V, measured.

Last winter I drove the Performance on snow tires through all the snow Whistler could throw at me without dying. But... any ice and the thing started to get a bit too Scandinavian flicky for my liking. Had to roll back and give up in Bayshores on an untreated black-iced road. So - snow no...

I suspect (having not read the whole thread), that I've got the highest since the car is in BC (lunatic monopoly insurance regime) and I'm a non-resident, driving on a UK driving licence. North of CAD 8,000 per annum is the current rate. What's especially galling is that my 911 in the UK is...

Been a while since I've used it (still stuck on a different continent, since February), but I've switched off auto after two "failure-to-close" incidents. Since I can't see my garage door quite soon after departure, and since I've got serious bike G.A.S. it's just not worth the risk.

No, i chose the fastest one because I was cross-shopping with a 911 and I am stupendously shallow. And self-aware.

I’m on a different continent to mine and it’s one of the many things I’m missing.

Where is the “ironic” emoji when you need it?

We do have roundabouts on our dual-carriageways in the UK. These are similar to our motorways (four or more lanes, up to 70mph limits possible, just less strict rules about junctions). There are at least two motorways with roundabouts (M180 in Lincolnshire, joining the M18 - Google Maps). I...

So proud of my birth country. Also home to people supposedly burning down 5G masts because of some bizarre quackery.

Zero since February 28th. Summon doesn’t work across the great country of Canada, the Atlantic and most of the great United Kingdom. Borrowing my sister’s ICE Polo on rare supermarket excursions, otherwise bike for exercise and a lot of static sofa surfing.

Thanks, now you've added another worry :). Thanks for the information - they're definitely things I'll invest in when I get back so I really do appreciate it. It's on 19" winter tyres (old habits die hard) right now and will remain on them for the foreseeable. If some flat spots to my tires are...

So I’m in the UK and my car is in Canada. It’s probably going to be six months before I get back. Should I get my house sitter to do a full physical shutdown of the car, or leave it plugged in and set to 50%? Not worried about the power consumption, just want to know what’s best, in these...

He's started another thread to keep up the momentum/draw more into his vortex of lies, half-truths and conjecture. Humbly suggest clicking his avatar, then click ignore, otherwise we'll get this until December (this year or next, depending on when quantities of his beloved unreleased "Mustang"...

Some BMWs read the road signs.

Shush. If we’re very quiet this version will go away before a master thread gets created.

Multimeter? EDIT: or even a Mark 1 eyeball, to see if the tracks or pins are there in the connector.

He's disagreeable and clicks disagree on all manner of posts. Whilst he'll still show in the list, you can always click Ignore on his profile to make sure his opinion disappears to /dev/null.

Last time it took about a week. Past performance is no indicator of future results etc. etc.. And there was some backlash to the Smart Summon stuff in BC in particular so who knows, really? They might let visualisations go live next week, or they may let us hang for a while.

Look up the two bucket method. There are millions of videos out there. If I remember correctly I watched the Meguiars one first, then fell down the obsessive detailing hole for a while and watched many others, gradually adding grit guards, clay bars, mops, sealants, waxes and many other...

One guy, with a really big unruly beard and a 1000km stare.

There will be design changes before production - eg where were the cameras (edit: just saw them in a different video)? And the front end is almost certainly not compliant with EU regs. And the load bay door needs some work, judging by the way the ATV driver nearly put his back out. With some...

But not in BC. What the what? The roads here in Whistler have just turned white (with salt or grit or whatever they’re using) and should be turning white again (with snow) next week if the forecast is correct. Why Tesla? Why?

20s fit as well - swapped mine on delivery (at friendly McLaren dealer) and drove home. Snug, but the guys bagged ‘em up and no damage was done to car or wheels and tires.

ditto, installing now

MASTER THREAD: 2019.36.2.1 roll out and features

Norm

Next year's plan for me includes an Ariel Nomad and a 992 911. No way I'm getting to the end of my driving life without owning a 911 at least once :).

Problems with Auto Lane change in 32.12.2

Was deciding between a new 992-gen 911 or a Tesla. Then (as a new arrival in your beautiful country), discovered BC’s somewhat punitive new car tax regime and put the the 992 on the back-burner for now (second hand or some sort of lease next year FTW). Seriously, you do not want people to drive...

If the changes affect the Smart Summon in anyway (which some have reported to be the case), I would think there will be a delay whilst they check it’s still compliant with Canadian rules and regs as with the original release of V10. Pure speculation obviously, but I’m not expecting to see it...

If you can really feel a difference in performance, it means it’s bigger than 5%, or it’s not just a linear increase. By which I mean they’ve changed some mapping parameters, rather than just done a +5% across the board. Butt dynos just aren’t that accurate, unless you were driving around a loop...

I'm from the UK. We've been driving backwards for the last three years and I think we've overtaken you now. The Venn diagram of citizens saying "you'll take my imperial yard from my cold dead hands" and "get me out of Europe, it's scary and communist" has a pretty hefty intersection, IMHO.

Surely the true, true nerd (guilty) will ask about watt-hours per kilometre?

Other than driving across Vacouver when I picked the car up, chill mode has been deselected. Rate of change of angle of right foot is mimicking its functionality and I can switch into sport mode using the same control. Not being glib - I don't ever want to be in chill mode again. In the same way...

Expensive and unyielding crash mat encourages careful climbing.

Update not showing up for me over here in BC (yet?)

Certainly works for Cuphead's menus and tutorial (which includes controlling the character). Before actually playing the first level, extreme hunger overcame me and I reluctantly left the car to make dinner. I've been spending too much time in the garage since the Tesla arrived. Is it just me? :)

On the Sea to Sky highway, near Nairn Falls. End of first wonderful week of Teslarity. Wheels are Replika 19” R187s with Sottozero IIs, because local law requires winter boots after 1st October.

I'm in a townhouse in Whistler (5 units in the building) and I'm seeing 206V. I've reached out to the installer for confirmation that it's on a commercial supply and I'll also check with the strata management team on Monday.
