In Canada and I did ask, and was told I am on a list, and part shortages prevent upgrading at this time. Sending cameras to a new MS is more important than retrofitting my 2017. Wall Street rates my update as a negative.

Bump

My son privately bought an 2015 85 out of Vancouver that had been squeezed between a parked car and a maple tree. Repair cost were about $22k. Amazing how fast costs added up on the repair bill. Especially body work and painting, let alone $3k headlamps. We think the discounted market price...

I bought a charger from Tesla. The electrician has to help fill out the form as some data is needed and a permit number. These folk have done work for me over the decades and wired up a circuit to my carport that is shared with my hot tub Lenius and Osborn Electric Electrician Victoria BC...

Previous to software 2021.4.15 my S had a poor record of sleeping, but it suddenly started the pattern you show (sleeping exactly one hour) every two hours. Home plugged in with charging to start at 23:00. UniFi WiFi node in garage. For whatever reason since I acquired it in early Jan it had a...

Ah you are in Brazil? Don’t they run 220V in standard electrical outlets? You are in a much better situation than in USA/Canada where it is 120v

I think we forget when looking at the cold hard numbers people make irrational choices, oh say like spending 7K on repairs to a 30 year old Mercedes W140 which everyone in the family loved… well until pending next $5K repair sent it to the recyclers for $500. Some people love their car, give...

Who makes the charger/cord holder?

My electrician is not a fan of plug-in “stove”electrical outlets. Unless “quality” equipment is used the springs lose tension over time and can cause heating/melting/fire (see internet for lots of scary failure pictures). Plus as mentioned you can store your mobile charger in the frunk for use...

Hi I am looking for one of these, can you ship it via mail to Canada?

Gen 3 HPWC have a Checkbox question on the configuration screen to allow or disallow charging by non Tesla vehicles.

Sadly did not see this msg as I spent last week interacting with nelsonwilli143@gmail. com via a msg from him on the third. Fortunately when I realized his email timezone was in eastern europe I was able to get PayPal to refund my payment for goods. Oddly he complained he couldn't access the...

In Canada Wtb mobile charger gen 1 5-20 adaptor. Tesla Canada no longer sells them

Yes in Canada Meric it is a highway, limit is 80 or 90 but people do 10+ over that. If there is no car in front this occurs. You get warning at 200 meters, tap to continue, again at 100 m, maybe at 50 but then autosteer/etc slows kinda to speed limit then back to your set speed. Tapping on...

The online manual says: “and displays a red line to indicate where the vehicle will come to a complete stop. To continue through the intersection—even if the traffic light is green —you must pull the Autopilot stalk toward you or briefly press the accelerator pedal to give the vehicle...

We did take delivery of a used MS in dec out of the Vancouver east center. Tesla paperwork was about five minute, insurance much longer. As it was the only MS in a lot of M3 it stood out and was nicely set aside by the service folks. Did not miss the buried $500 advert fee, rust protection...

We have intersections where they have painted dashed lines to assist people turning from the exit ramps onto a three lane thoroughfare, problem is when you come across those lines on the thoroughfare FSD think the road jogs and wants to throw you a lane over, then freaks as there is a car...

Signage: Speed YY unless otherwise posted. Triangular playground zone XX sign so on FSD we reduce speed from YY to XX, however the end of the playground zone is noted by the back of the playground zone on the other side of the road as we exit the playground zone. Thus for the next 100 miles FSD...

Another what are they thinking, highway speed limit 70 (metric/miles) doing 80. (Like everyone else) Chime? and warning about traffic light 200 xxx meters/yards away, tap stalk to signal ya it’s green (which it sees) But then it wants to slow to 70 (speed limit) as you are yelling: go go and...

Is it me or is it those Software engineers in California? We have a bike lane, the car even sees it and it notes the painted diamond and the bike symbol. Enter a bicyclist (which it sees) and the car then slows to post speed limit or lower and then a 50/50 chance it does a panic brake...

If you are in Canada you can look here Privacy & Legal | Tesla In Canada you can also ask Tesla to send you a copy of the information they have about you and your car. Postings from Canadians who have done this say the information & material is not much.. unlike the GBs of data FB or Google...

Same, any suggestion to fix this? You would think the Tesla engineers doing the charging pad would confirm RF interference doesn’t nick the key fob Tho....

There is a lot of $ out of your pocket between the old and new for 1/2 sec or so of performance, just remember the FSD experience won’t be different between the new and an upgraded older S.

Agree, also distance keeping cruise control coming to a stop light with traffic has changed in behavior, way smoother. the team providing the fart apps should stay an extra month in Cancun and let these folks continue to fix things

I’m sure they said in the video GM would install a garage charging station for eligible customers?

People should remember that Musk has said that based on Tesla’s work the heat pump market is ripe for improvement. You have to wonder how good Tesla’s Heat Pump engineering is as compared to the residential market offerings.

They are staffing the Victoria Service Center https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/associate-service-manager-victoria-at-tesla-2402773228

Late dec. You can take the sky train there. Check in and wait outside, as you know your Vin the car should be there too, look for it. At appt time paperwork & payment closure with Tesla, then a bunch of time with an insurance agent. Lastly keys and they install the plates, confirm you can see...

All below is true, with the cost difference between my original January quote and the actual (last thursday) I bought a CHAdeMO adapter which I wasn’t budgeting for. Today $4 of free electricity from BC hydro but also more flexibility in BC driving in post Covid travels.

Twisted rope when stretched will twist, the standard rope twist means it will tighten the eye hook versus unscrewing it.

A real world example is our original 30 year old oven which was a 240v 40amp breaker. However we replaced it with a modern high efficiency AEG oven which required no more than a 20 amp service. So the breaker was changed from 40 amp to 20 amp to ensure it met the expectations of the downstream...

Owners should lobby to be allowed to take purchased software with them when they resell or the car is written off. if software 2.4 doesn’t run on HW 3.1 then you pay an upgrade fee. Having to pay the full price again doesn’t gain good will.

If your car allows OTA updates then they just push service notices to the car. Every month the driver can tap ‘ignore’. Or tap yes to schedule the repair.

The actual replacement work is low, acquiring staff, training, sending letters, negotiations with customers, tracking down cars, making the parts, moving inventory around. There is a whole hidden effort that goes into the process before the car door is opened by the guy holding the parts.

Spinning up an assembly line in China to build 200k MCU1 replacements is not the problem. It’s the 2? million hours of admin & shop time needed to swap the units. So what if you setup a program to train 5,000 mechanics to do this, later skim those folks for full time employment .

In Silicon Valley a few years back google had a problem with their self driving cars because people realized they would always yield, which led to the issue the cars couldn’t make a left turn because no one would allow it. To solve this they had to add more aggression. If someone wants to...

As a software engineer I can’t answer that since the future system is not rule based rather a AI or ML system where no one quite knows how it will behave. The intent of course is to have it behave ‘way better’ than an average driver. However this evening autosteer showed me that if the left...

I picked up a 2017 MS90D on dec 27 (Sunday) from the Vancouver delivery center. Took the ferry as walk on, just a few dozen people upstairs on the ferry, a few people on the 620 bus. Then you have three different sky trains to take, where social distancing is difficult. Doing it on the weekend...

Years back a elderly driver I know told me he bought a Benz with all the features as argumentation to his 70 years of driving because it could reduce the probability of an accident, and if he had one the licensing people likely would terminate his right to drive. Tesla collects data that shows...

Not on a Tesla but I found the PetroCanada product was excellent for removal of smearing due to oil/etc.

As a new Tesla owner I’d say AutoPilot Is not 100% trustworthy for edge cases. It just might do the wrong thing. Here we are building trust, but if I’ve never seen it respond to the current situation I’d keep on my toes to confirm it won’t make a bad choice. Other situations it has shown to...

Question. So most longer term parking areas that experience -30C provide 110V plugs in order to make ICE block heaters happy, does that provide enough amps to keep your Tesla battery warm and happy? Not expecting to charge much in this situation btw.

I’m fairly sure if you own any modern car and have ‘issues’ the dealer will read the codes and likely update ALL the firmware in the car without asking. Saying: engine control module firmware 1.2.3.74.1b fixes your observed engine stutter. Oh and windows XP (dead man walking)

Saw the most strangest thing yesterday up here on Vancouver Island Canada. An S (black) (didn’t see the front so don’t know the year) pulled up two car lengths ahead/beside me on the left at the light. When the light turned green and he accelerated/moved and his brake lights flashed red a good...
