    Need tips for trip from Vancouver to Big White and Osoyoos

    Chademo adapter is definitely useful. IMO BC Hydro fast chargers are located in places you actually want to stop, such as free public rest stops with washrooms, so that you don't need to waste time and money going somewhere like Boston Pizza or a hotel restaurant. On my most recent trip on...

    Need tips for trip from Vancouver to Big White and Osoyoos

    I stayed at the Best Western in Kelowna which has level 2 chargers, so I charged overnight and didn't even need to use the Superchargers there. Used my Chademo adapter along the way so barely needed to use any Superchargers throughout the entire trip (did a super quick $7 charge in Hope just in...

    How much you pay for your M3 insurance in BC?

    For my SR+ it cost me about $3000 for $5 million liability, full comprehensive, Roadstar. No accidents, driver factor 0.577. Pleasure use. Will cost about $300-400 more to change back to business use when COVID blows over. It ended up being just a couple hundred dollars more per year than my...

    Good Canadian source for accessories

    I ordered a console wrap from Abstract Ocean and it was great. Comes in a flat envelope, so chances of duties are pretty low.

    Financing Tesla vehicles in Canada

    I noticed that some people are talking about different cars, ie. one was model Y and the other was Model 3... Also, the taxes would be different in every province and that's probably why. Ie. Alberta no PST, while BC has luxury tax.

    Financing Tesla vehicles in Canada

    You have to actually order the car with deposit, and there's an automated process in your account to enter details to apply for financing. In my case the rate and approval showed up in my account in a few hours.

    Just placed an order for TM3 SR+

    Most of us who got the delivery dates in this thread were all from Vancouver, so that sort of makes sense. We also have $8k of combined rebates here that may end any time, so if I were Tesla, I'd probably leave the easy California deliveries to the very last minute for the end of quarter push too!

    Just placed an order for TM3 SR+

    I thought of doing PPF, but since our cars are literally fresh from the factory, I read some posts about Tesla SA's advising to let the paint cure for a few weeks first. I think it's more of a precaution, as no one will really know whether that paint's going to peel until you try taking off the...

    Same, just got an update! June 2: "We currently expect your Model 3 to be ready for delivery 2 - 4 weeks from today." June 14: "We currently expect your Model 3 to be built in the next 7 days. Once your Model 3 starts moving to your delivery center, we will reach out to schedule your delivery...

    Just placed an order for TM3 SR+

    Since I'm May 2, your post makes me feel better, at least I know they didn't forget about me! Maybe not being the first batch immediately after staff are reluctantly forced back on the line can be a good thing? (At least that's what I'm telling myself)

    Nice! Let us know if it ends up having a wireless charger and USB-C!

    Just placed an order for TM3 SR+

    For those in Vancouver there's a bunch of Tesla's sitting at 901 Great Northern way, and sure enough my delivery address on the website changed from Powell to that address. Is this a temporary delivery location? If so, it's pretty convenient due to the SkyTrain being next door!

    Just placed an order for TM3 SR+

    Still waiting since May 2 and no VIN. Also saw tons of SR+ in various configurations last night again (including mine) But if wireless charging with newer batches is true, then I'm hoping I get assigned to a newer batch

    Just placed an order for TM3 SR+

    I still didn't get a VIN yet... But seeing a bunch of SR+ showing up in Vancouver inventory, including the same base white one that I ordered. Why are they selling inventory cars while owners with the exact configuration still haven't got their VIN?

    Financing Tesla vehicles in Canada

    Yes, the 4.25% is just a random placeholder. Once you submit the credit application, it gets sent to RBC and Scotia, whichever one is lower ends up showing up in your account with the actual rate. In my case it happened the same day.

    Oh right forgot about the PST. You reminded me why I didn't order the white interior or 19" wheels haha.

    Just placed an order for TM3 SR+

    Thanks for the extra data point! Looks like most of us in Vancouver are in the same boat waiting for our base white SR+'s! I noticed a couple red ones show up in inventory today. It's tempting but Pearl White is such an awesome free color

    Just placed an order for TM3 SR+

    I got the text Tuesday June 2, which said 2-4 weeks like everyone else. The June 20 date was what I was previously told when I got the call last week. I don't know if my delivery got pushed back because of my delays confirming financing... I hope not!

    Just placed an order for TM3 SR+

    I ordered May 2, white SR+ with black interior in Vancouver. Got the text, but no VIN yet. I hadn't clicked to accept finance, so someone last week called to remind me to do so in order to proceed with delivery. I was told the car was scheduled to arrive around June 20, followed by delivery

    Different TAPTES Wireless Chargers

    I've read that the Gen 2 has a third coil to better support horizontal charging, but not sure of this, as the other one seems to support this as well. The Gen 2 also has the little "feet" on the back which fits the tray better. I just bought the Gen 1 and it's flat on the back but comes with...
