    Quick tire question

    I have the stock Goodyear Eagle RS-A2. I have about 25k on them. I had the tread measured and they are still at 4/32" (front and back). I was told that they should be replaced when they get to about 2/32". Tesla recommended the Michelin Primacy MXM4 for replacement. The cost is $265 per...

    Please help me understand these numbers.

    Hi. I recently drove from Toronto to Ottawa and back. It was 20C on the way there and pouring rain on the way back. Wh/km heading east was 168Wh/km on dry roads and west was 178 Wh/km in the rain. The prevailing winds are from the west. Ottawa and Toronto are at the same elevation. Total...

    My energy use

    In the somewhat warm weather, I find it very easy to beat the EPA energy estimate. Driving to work and back and a little bit around the city, I went 49.5 km today. Total energy was 8.8 kWh and average energy was 177 Wh/km. This was a round trip so no net elevation change. This is based on the...

    Some thoughts after 2 weeks.

    In no particular order: - no need for the performance version. As a previous Prius owner, the jump to an MS is crazy. To a performance version it would have been dangerous. - after two weeks of going electric, it seems to me that the last century of ICE innovation is just trying to make the...

    Question about Energy App

    Hi. I did a bit of a search, but couldn't get this answered. For the record, I'm 5 days into ownership and couldn't be happier. I've been trying to figure out how the Energy App works. My first assumption is that Rated KM is calculated based on a fixed amount of energy consumption, something...

    Questions after 24hrs

    Hello Canadians, I pick up the car yesterday and have been more than impressed in the first day. It is a shock to the system to go to a Tesla from a Prius. I have a non-perf 85kw and can't imagine what I could possibly do with the extra acceleration. I can barely drive the car as it is. After...

    Ridiculous concept of range anxiety.

    I'm not ready to post this on the main forum. I found the NY Times article annoying. I couldn't figure out how the guy ran out of charge so easily. Maybe he had bad info. Maybe running out of charge would make a better story. Then comes Elon's response which seems not too well thought out...

    Getting a separate HPWC

    I have finalized and have a delivery window of March or April. I am getting the 85 kW version with twin chargers. However, I have not yet bought a high-powered wall connector. Now that there is a $1000 credit towards electrical installation, I am thinking of getting the HPWC separately. Does...

    My test drive today

    I paid the reservation fee about 1 month ago and scheduled a test drive. My biggest issue with getting the Tesla is not just the price, but the fact that I don't really NEED one. I have a perfectly good 3 year old Prius. I was quite content to drive this car for 10 years, like I did my old...

    Questions for Canadians

    Hello Canadians! i have a few questions for all you Tesla experts. Delivery: My reservation number is 575. Any idea what that means? Are there now regular Canadian deliveries? I haven't yet decided on a battery size, but will probably go for the 60kW. Will that have an impact on when the...
