I don't know if anyone watches Perception (Perception ; sorry, no video available), but last night the bad guy (he's rich) drove a Tesla Roadster. They even commented on the car's looks on the show. Can other Teslas be far behind? Richard

I keep seeing these arguments as well. I can say that I saw one of the first plasma TVs. It cost $25,000 and the guy in the TV store said they could never be mass-produced because of problems with the pixels. I was so stunned with the quality of the picture I said right then and there that one...

Great photos! That combination was my choice, and as others have said, this seals the deal! Thanks!

I have a Volvo V70 T5 and I have big rims and performance tires for the summer and small rims and Gislaved (they're Swedish) winter tires for the winter. I just get the rims swapped every spring and fall. Easy-peasy. It's cheap and you get all the advantages of the two sizes, and I don't need a...

Invest it in something more stable unless you have lots more to replace it with if the stock tanks (which may have nothing to do with the product or the success of the company). Look for something big, stable, and boring, preferably one that pays a nice dividend (dividends = free money...

Clever idea!

Yes, I suspect people driving with the air suspension set too low. Richard

Here are some photos of a blue and a white Model S in the underground garage in Yorkdale, Toronto. Ignore the red Beemer. I don't know why it was there. Richard

Electric-car maker Tesla hits record share price on Nasdaq news | Toronto Star "Tesla Motors Inc., the world’s best- performing automotive stock this year, rose to a record intraday price after Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. said it’s elevating the company’s shares to its Nasdaq-100 Index to replace...

Always pay off debt first. Always remember: the longer you finance debt the less you're actually paying back the debt and the more you're just paying in interest (i.e. giving your money to some rich banker so he can get richer). In some cases a $100,000 loan can cost you just as much in...

That's what I needed. Thanks!

This "non-owner's question" may be answered somewhere here, but I can't find it. I know that one can set different seat/steering wheel/mirror settings for a number of different drivers. Are these keyed to different fobs (or rather 'toy cars') so that as you approach the car (if you have the tech...

Yes, this is what I was told during my test drive, that it's free for now but there will be charges once the details are established. Oh, and by the way, the side mirrors already fold: see the photo at the top right: Model S Specs | Tesla Motors .

The Best Western is a bit south of London and so I missed it on the PlugShare map. That would be the place to stay when we visit. My brother told me about the charger at the Conestoga Mall. Does anyone know how long it would take to charge using an SC90 charger? Or maybe I should say, how much...

Not that I know of, but I'd like to have them.

Thanks for the tips and comments! I usually set the cruise control for just under 100 km/h, though one often ends up going slower, of course. My plan is to get a Tesla charger installed at my dad's in Newmarket for overnight charging so that we can make the extra push to Waterloo or London...

I regularly travel from Ottawa to Newmarket (just up the 404 from TO) following 7 then 115 at Peterborough and then 7A and back to 7. It's 383 km. I usually drive a manual Mercedes B 200 rated by Environment Canada at 6.7 l/100 km and even with four passengers and luggage can easily get 6.6...

My bad. I was there again this morning and the car was back in the same place (it wasn't there two weeks ago), so the owner must actually WORK there! Maybe he's the manager or something. I don't imagine a Canadian Tire tech makes enough to buy a Model S.

I saw a red model S (no sun roof) in the parking lot of the Canadian Tire on Ogilvie Road in Ottawa at the end of May. It was there for a couple of days so it must have been in for some work. Otherwise no sightings (apart from the white one I took for a test drive last Thursday, and the blue and...
