I just had to try the new Winnipeg V3 charger and was a little underwhelmed. When I arrived there was a Model X at the furthest east pedestal and the driver shared that only the 2 east most appeared to be energized. My 2013 S85 battery was at 60% at initial hookup and after the initial...

We just received an email advising that our 3 is in Calgary and a shipment of cars to Manitoba will leave on Monday. Invited March 23, 2018, configured March 26th. My wife is thrilled. I am also happy because I hope she will give me back my Model S.

Brad, Congrats on the Model S. We are waiting for our Model 3 (June target) and regularly travel from Winnipeg area to Clear Lake with our 2013 S. My first road trip (2013) was to Lake of the Prairies via Carberry and Virden chargers. Ended up having to stop in Foxwarren to charge because of...

Received notice to configure last Thursday. I am a 2013 Model S owner in Canada who submitted a Model 3 reservation on day 1. They initially indicated that I would have to wait until late 2018 to even configure my Model 3. Like 70% of other reservation holders are doing, I thought I would also...

Just read some great news for owners and Tesla travelers in the Dakota and Minnesota areas (and us owners north of the border). It appears that 4 new locations are in the works including the very important Fargo link!!!!!! When the Fargo link is complete users in the Winnipeg area will now be...

I also received a call inquiring if I was interested in trading up to a new Model S. It was a soft sell job but what actually surprised me more was that they were unaware that we already had a deposit down on a model 3. I would like to give a big thank you to the service center staff in Eden...

That would be disappointing. I was hoping that with talk about 18" and 20" wheels I could fit in the 19"'s from my S.

Did you get the 2 or 4 year option? Do you know if you can get the 2 year and then get another 2 at the end of the first 2? Do you mind if I ask what types of issues you had and what model you have? I have 4 weeks to purchase an extended Warranty.

I have ordered a Model 3 and am really hoping that the same 19" wheels that came with my Model S are one of the options. I would like to know ASAP because I am thinking of buying a set of rims and snow tires for next winter( on sale till mid May) . I have put my 2013 in storage for the last 3...

I am about a month away from my 4 year ownership anniversary and am still looking for advice on purchasing an extended package. One problem I have is I get to the extended warranty page via My Tesla, and when I click on the "Learn More" link, nothing happens!!!! And I really need to learn more...

12 volt battery warning This is becoming a regular and wholly unwanted concern. My error message started about 4 weeks ago and I contacted Tesla. This will be the third replacement in 42 months! (2013 85Kw with 72000 Kms no winter driving) To add insult to injury the tech that called me this...

Widgeon, So happy to hear that it is up and running. How many Amps were you getting? I will be driving through on Saturday with an ICE vehicle heading to Minneapolis for the Wild game on Saturday and Green Bay for the Packers game on Sunday. I can't wait till a few more Superchargers are in...

While this may not be exciting news for many members, I have just received notice that the Sun Country charger my wife and I sought to sponsor in 2013 in the Grand Forks area has finally found a home. Good afternoon , I hope you are doing well. I am happy to advise you we have secured a...

jerry33, Thank you for this. I am still a little frustrated that I still have not heard back from Tesla on the same question.

Lightfoot3b, I had the unfortunate experience to get a flat last week but it turned out to be a blessing. the mechanic pointed out that the alignment was way out and that I risked a blowout if I kept driving. Is the Minneapolis SC the only place to get an alignment for us in the heart of the...

I should have also noted that I have 62K (kilometers) , no winter driving, on the 19 inch Goodyears that came from the factory. I also do not have air ride.

I have a 2013 85 S and was never so happy to have a flat tire earlier this week. While repairing the tire by removing a nail the mechanic showed me that between April (last flat) and today the alignment had gone out.. The tires were riding off the tread and were in danger of a blowout. Has...

I have a 2013 S85 (April delivery) and had a technician come by last winter to replace the 12 volt battary. I do not drive the car in winters but on the weekend I lent it out for a promo cause and when it arrived back I noticed that a "replace 12 volt Battery" message was being displayed. I...

I know they need to cater to the bigger markets but having a complete network would really help to expand the opportunities for all owners and in turn expand the message that these are viable alternatives. This is evening I spoke with our IT guy and he is waiting for Model 3 which is great...

glenhurst, Actually the Sun Country chargers in the area are great with a few 90 amp locations available. The challenge in the extended drive is that you need 4-5 hours to "refill". That effectively limits a day's run to about 600 miles max. I had hoped to be doing 200 miles in between 30...

For those of us yearning to access the supercharger network I would hope that Tesla reviews their roll out plans. I live in Winnipeg and need the Fargo, ND site up and running before I can go on any extended roadtrip with confidence. I have a plan to drive my S85 to Seattle next August and if...

I do not know if it is a coincidence or not but we have been unable to get Slacker Radio to work since we have the car serviced 2 weeks ago. A team of technicians came to Winnipeg to service the 5+ MS in the area. Any suggestions? getting 3-5 bars on signal strength. My wife ( and more...

As a Model S owner outside of Winnipeg I will admit tobeing jealous every time I see the SC roll out map on the Tesla site. While wedo have a number of conveniently located Sun Country Highway stations, thenearest one for us will be Fargo planned for 2015. If we are heading directly south we...

I really hope we don't start getting too preachy on this issue. I would hate to see the green car movement devolve into a "pure EV's" camp vs "halfblood EV's". Life is too short and we need to stick together to gang up on the ICE people :)

Vexar, I have been in contact with representitives from Sun Country Highway. They manufacture and sell chargers. They have a sponsorship program where users purchase a charger and then Sun Country Highway works with the private sector to have it installed. Here in Canada they have had success...

Great story. I am actually trying to map a route from Winnipeg to Minneapolis via Grand Forks and Fargo (85Kw). Last summer we did a scouting run with our ICE car and discovered a number of 50 amp services at campgrounds, but all were seasonal. There are 3 Model S in the Winnipeg area and I am...

Update on point #3. Yesterday while in the city I was rear ended. Not too much damage (truck still opens and closes but out of alignment). I now will have to seek out a body shop with the necessary experience. 2 days till parking it for the winter; major bummer.

For those wondering why I don't plan to drive my Model S in the winter: 1) It is really cold in Winnipeg. 2) There is lots of snow and ice on the roads 3) Winnipeg drivers, I really, really, really do not want to get hit and have to find a shop that can do work on the Tesla. 4) I...

Thank you all for the prompt responses and advice. I am a little concerned about the low temps we can get here so insulating around the battary pack is something I will have to look into. Is not having it on jack stands a real No No?

I live just outside of Winnipeg, Manitoba , Canada and do not plan to drive my Model S over the winter. I purchased an outdoor cover and plan to store in an enclosed shelter, plugged in to a 110 outlet. I have never stored a car before. Should I put it on jack stands? Should I reduce the tire...

I'm just outside Winnipeg and Minneapolis was going to be my service centre. At least this would give me an option. Grey85,Pano Tech,sound,standard suspension, twin. loving it!

Vexar, Thank you for the information. In the end we took out ICE vehicle and scouted possible locations on the way there and back. There are a number of RV parks along the route that have working 14-50 service. They have advised that all we need to do is call ahead to reserve a spot. Even at...

Thank you. We called the Nissen dealer in Grand Forks and they were very clear that Tesla owners were not welcome. I will try and check if Walgreens have an outlet.

I am planning our first road trip next week and are hoping to head to the Fargo Moorhead area. In looking for charging opportunities I have only found the 2 local Nissan dealerships. This is a little concerning as I don't know how receptive they are re Tesla vehicles and/or hours of...
