I didn't know anything about the service to "re-seal front upper control arm ball joints" until it appeared on the $80 invoice estimate from Tesla for the cabin filter replacement. I am not sure if it is a recall service but I think it is probably more a technical service bulletin. I looked up...

I just booked a mobile service appointment for November 3 with Tesla and confirmed the price for the air cabin filter change. The price was $46 for the filter and $27 for the service call to my house. The service tech will also perform a recall service to "re-seal front upper control arm ball...

Haha I am all thumbs so I know what you mean. With my luck I would try to install the cabin filter myself and break a part and have a repair that costs several hundred dollars :) Thanks for the words of advice from someone who has tried this on their own! Richard

Our 2 year old 2019 model 3 in Vancouver seems to be have recurring bad smells in the cabin so I assume it is time to change the air cabin filter. Looking at some youtube videos it seems to be a difficult process to change the air filter. Has anyone used the mobile Tesla service to change...

Wow thank you everyone for all your incredibly helpful and useful information! Armed with your responses I have located several Tesla charging stations that I will use to top off our model 3 when we are in Tofino this weekend! Thanks again everyone! I truly appreciate that you took the time...

I have had our model 3 now for 9 months and have always just charged at home on my Tesla charger. I only used the Tesla supercharger for the very first time 3 weeks ago and I am pretty green to the other charger options . I have attached a photo of the charger adapter that I used to charge at...

We are staying at Tofino in B.C. this weekend at a hotel that doesn’t have a Tesla charger and wondering what our best Tesla charging options are? This is our first time travelling with our 2019 Tesla model 3 performance and we are not really up to speed on the best charging options on our trip...

Here are my space grey 19" Replika 241 wheels with my Michelin XICE 3 winter tires naked with no Tesla caps.....

I just had my Michelin XICE2 245/40/19 winter tires installed on 19" Replika 241 wheels today on my performance model 3. I think the 19" Replika 241 wheels look pretty good on the model 3! Man though the Michelin XICE 2 tires felt pretty soft and squishy in today's warm and sunny 8 degree...

Thanks for the feedback from everyone! I am bringing my Tesla model 3 to my local Acura dealership to take off my summer wheels and tires and put on my winter tires and wheels. They have about 8 hoist lifts for the vehicles that they work on so I assume they will use a big hoist lift to change...

I am replacing my summer tires and wheels on my Tesla model 3 performance model with newly purchased mounted 19" winter Replika 241 wheels and Michelin XICE 3 winter tires. I have always changed over my winter and summer tires and wheels for my previous Acura's and BMW's at my local Acura...

Sure I would have liked a Tesla frunk mat with my model 3. I ordered one of these all weather frunk mats from Amazon for $30 Canadian and it arrived 1 week later...problem solved. https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07V628JM5/ref=pe_3034960_233709270_TE_item In the grand scheme of things I love the...

Woah guys take it easy...... I have watched some of Trevor's videos before this thread and have really enjoyed them and found them informative. If Trevor takes the time and effort to film some helpful and interesting videos on youtube about our Tesla's why not post a link to it on our Tesla...

Not sure if it even matters to some people but to me the Tesla wall charger looks damn sexy in a garage! I would gladly pay a few extra hundred dollars to have that in my garage just for the looks alone never mind the faster charging speed at 48 amps....:cool:

I had an electrician install my 240 volt Tesla wall charger at my house in Vancouver 2 weeks ago. The electrician used a 60 amp breaker so the current running hard wired to my car from the Tesla charger is 48 amps and I charge at 66 km per hour with the Tesla wall charger. A huge improvement...

Yes one of the first things I tried to improve WIFI in my garage was buy a powerline extender for my garage but that didn't really work so I am now using the Shaw WIFI pods which has worked great in my garage. I can watch 4k youtube videos in my car now with only very rarely having dropouts or...

No I did not upgrade my 100 amp electrical box which is very common for houses in our area that were built 25 to 30 years ago. All 3 electricians that looked at our electrical box said that our box would probably not meet the current inspection requirements but we should be fine with our current...

Yes Simon mentioned that you were setup for 80 amps. Just like speed you can never have too much power:) Thanks again for giving me Simon’s contact information! I am really impressed with how the Tesla wall charger installation went today. Going from 7km/hr charging on the 120 volt charger to...

I ordered the Tesla all weather mats for $190 Canadian from the Tesla store and am really happy with how they look and how durable they are. Maybe being from Vancouver I don't appreciate how harsh winters can be in the rest of Canada but is the reason most of the people on here aren't ordering...

I just wanted to give an update on our Tesla charger installation. I have been corresponding via email back and forth the past week with our electrician Simon regarding our house’s current electrical constraints and the different options we had for an EV charger. Our 29 year old house is 4,200...

Yes on closer inspection they are a little different from my grey Replika 241 19" winter wheels. I am OK with that because they will stand out a little bit from the grey wheels that now come standard with the Model 3 performance package.

From what I can see it looks like the new OEM Tesla grey wheels look exactly like the 19" Replka 241 wheels that I am getting for my winter setup. The Replika wheels are avavilable in 18", 19" and 20". I paid $220 Canadian each for my 19" Replika 241 wheels...

I priced it our before I decided on the 19" wheels if you want to go for the 18" Replika 241 wheels and the Michelin XICE XI3 235/45/18 it is $2,400 with non Tesla TPMS and $200 more for the Tesla TPMS.

Great video....thanks Trevor!

Yes I also ordered the Replika R241 19” wheels with the Michelin XICE XI3 245/40/19 tires from Lougheed Acura. I also had Replika wheels for my winter setup on my previous BMW and was pretty happy with them. I also went with the OEM Tesla tire pressure monitors that are $106 each. I know some...

I just ordered four 245/40/19 Michelin xice xi3 tires from Lougheed Acura for my Tesla model 3 and they were cheaper than the $350 quoted currently on the costco.ca website. I bought my winter tires and wheels for my last BMW from Lougheed Acura and used to swap them every season for $40. The...

Thanks for the analysis TomLee! The variables I am not sure are about are do I actually need a permit to install the 240 volt charger or is this not required because of my current electrical capacity in my house? Also the $700 quote from my qualified electrician friend was just me paying him...

I have heard back from Plug in BC and I have to return the Tesla charger I purchased September 18 (8 days before the program was announced) and re-order another charger to qualify for the $700 rebate. I am wondering if it is worth the hassle of returning the Tesla charger, paying shipping fees...

Not holding my breath either but it would be great if they included the Tesla charger as being eligible for the $700 rebate. Even if it is included in the eligible list I am still not sure if you have to buy it from a Tesla store in BC instead of online from the Tesla store where it is...

Sure thing I will let you know Itr4t2 the cost on Wednesday after EVTEC has given me a quote for the total installation cost of the juicebox 40. Right off the bat the juicebox 40 charger is $879 before tax so that is about $300 more than the Tesla charger after tax so that eats up $300 of the...

I have my Tesla wall charger still in the box but I found this company called EVTEC that sells chargers and does installs in the Vancouver area. I have booked an appointment for next Wednesday to get a quote on a charger and installation to see what the net cost would be after the $700 rebate...

Assuming the Tesla wall charger (if they decide to make it eligible for the $700 rebate) has to be purchased from a BC location ....I just checked at the Tesla store on west 4th and there is a 4 to 6 week back order at the store for the Tesla wall charger. Seems like a lot of hoops to jump...

Haha that is why we are here 9-Volt to spend your money for you......:)

Home Depot sells this Levetron unit for pickup at your local store (Levitron E30) which is on the list though the Home Depot model is B1C while the one on the eligible list is the B2C model. Even if it is eligible it is $859 before tax compared to Tesla's $635 so even if it was eligible $250 of...

For those in the Vancouver area where or from who do you buy your EV charger to satisfy the purchased in BC requirement? For those with a Tesla, which of the non Tesla alternatives eligible for the $700 rebate would you consider?....Thanks for your input!

I bought my Tesla charger September 23,2019 which is 3 days before the program was announced September 26,2019. To be eligible purchases must be made after September 26.....I am doubtful that they will include the Tesla charger in the chargers eligible for the $700 rebate but in the meantime I...

I have had my 240 volt Tesla wall charger sitting uninstalled in a box for a week now hoping that somehow the cost of equipment and installation would be included in the new $700 rebate program in BC. It looks like the Tesla charger is not on the approved list of chargers and will not be...

I found these 2 items from Amazon for the front and rear trunk. Any thoughts?...they seem to have some good reviews and are only $40 for the rear and $30 for the front. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07WRBR6TT/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A3C14ZSYKQSZ7C&psc=1...

Thanks for the link! It looks like I can currently order the $190 all weather front and back mats from Tesla online for $190. Looking at the video they seem to be pretty effective and look good .....anybody have them or does anybody have any opinions on them?

I am expecting to pick up our Tesla model 3 performance next week in Vancouver! I know the Costco 3D Maxspider mats are cheaper but is there any other reason besides the $190 price that others are not buying the Tesla $190 all weather interior floor mats? The Tesla shop website seems to be...
