    Will the free FSD trial convince you to purchase FSD?

    Just curious since it seems so many of us got the free 30-day FSD trial.

    Wipers always scraping?

    A different wiper issue than the usual... Ever since I got my new (Dec 2022) MX, I've noticed the windshield wipers are very "scrapy" -- rubbing erratically against the windshield instead of smoothly. The only time it's ever smooth is in torrential downpours. A light rain does not overcome the...

    Not charging in cold?

    I haven't had my Tesla connector installed yet so I'm just trickle charging at the new house that I'm at. Unfortunately I seem to be gaining "0 km/hr". Is this due to the cold (currently -15 Celsius) or is there another reason? Yesterday at the house it seemed fine.

    Four tires and a car seat?

    I'll be picking up a 2022 Model X with six seats. I have to do it with my 4-year-old daughter, which means car seat in one of the two captain's chair seats. But I also have to get winter tires for the drive home and have the summer tires in the car. Would I be able to fold the third row down...

    damaged roof - can this wait 6 weeks?

    The following damage occurred recently. Where I am located (Kelowna, BC Canada) there is no Tesla shop and only one approved Tesla glass/collision centre in town. They say it will take 4-6 weeks to get a new glass roof from Tesla. My alternative is to drive 5 hours each way to Vancouver to get...

    What company is this charger?

    I'm staying at my dad's apartment in Vancouver BC. There's a charging station with a J1772 but no identifying company information on it, just an icon that indicates that you're supposed to swipe a card. It's all black and there's no other display of any kind, just LEDs that says "Ready" and...

    getting a model x plaid just because I don't want to wait!

    I feel kind of insane that i just put a deposit down for a Model X plaid instead of a regular Model X just because I want it in 2022 instead of having to wait until 2023. I think it's especially insane because the Plaid will be classified as a supercar in British Columbia with all the insurance...

    2 newborns, one 4yo

    From what I've gathered from others, the best config for a family X is the 6-seater so you can walk down the empty middle. If you had two newborns (yes, twins are in my future) and one 4yo, would you put the twins in the second row and the toddler in the third row, or vice versa?

    Tesla tent in Canada

    Model Y here. Anyone have a tent they like for their Tesla that they were able to buy in Canada? We're a family of 3 so sleeping in the car itself probably not going to work out great. Everything at the local Canadian Tire is sold out/not available.

    Golden<->Radium round trip range anxiety

    I'm a new owner still of a MY LR, but noticed that especially in cold temps the range obviously isn't exactly as advertised. I'm planning on a family trip to Radium. There is a destination charger in Invermere, but I'm not sure if I want to stay at the resort where it's located (would probably...

    south okanagan (BC) camping in a Model Y

    Hello, brand new MY owner checking in with my first post-ownership post! Super thrilled to finally join the club. My significant other is super excited about the camping feature after I showed her on Youtube. In fact, she pretty much wants to do it right away, if only for a night. We are...

    Delivery checklist

    Hi, Does anyone have a good exhaustive checklist of the issues I should be looking out for when I pick up my (first) MY next week? I will be driving a long distance and really hoping that I get lucky with build quality. Apologies as I'm sure this has been asked before -- I tried to use the...

    Who needs a pedestal?

    Hi, about-to-be first time Tesla (MY) owner here. I have purchased a wall connector and will be having an electrician come install it, but I am not clear on whether I need a pedestal. The MY will be parked outside, not in a garage, on my property. It will be uncovered. I have a wall outlet on...

    MY Performance in snow

    If I live in a mountainous area with a lot of snowfall, is it a bad idea to get the MYP instead of the regular MY? I really want the fun of zipping around, but not if it's going to mean I get stuck at some point during the winter, or have to drive the truck instead of the MY. If that's the case...

    Cancelled my MS order out of frustration

    Before I go on this rant, big shout-out to everyone on this forum who is just so awesomely helpful. So much better than Tesla's actual "customer service". I swear if Tesla fired their top 10 customer service people and replaced them with random people from this message board, they'd probably...

    Didn't use a referral code, should I cancel?

    I just realized I probably should have used a referral code when I ordered. Not sure what 1500km of supercharger actually costs. Is it worth cancelling and doing it again? Will they even honour that? Thanks!

    8.5' vs 18' cable

    They seem to be the same price (at least on Tesla Canada), so why would anyone choose the 8.5' over the 18'? Thanks

    Home delivery on new Model S, far away from Service Center

    When ordering my Model S last week, I was told on the order page that I was not able to get delivery to my area, something that contradicts Tesla's own FAQ: What if I live far away from the nearest Service Center? If you live more than 360 km from the closest Service Center, your vehicle can be...

    Home delivery or no?

    Just ordered a Model S. After entering my address I was told I would have to pick it up at the Service Center in Vancouver BC. But then I read this on the Tesla delivery FAQ (Canada): What if I live far away from the nearest Service Center? If you live more than 360 km from the closest Service...

    Who shouldn't buy a Tesla (or an MS)

    guys, I think I'm gonna pull the trigger today. I've been doing my research for about 10 days straight on this forum and elsewhere. But before I make a $100k (Canadian) decision I feel like I have to ask for reasons why I *shouldn't* get a brand new Model S today. Consider this the equivalent...

    FSD refunds / "test drive"

    If I buy a new Tesla and purchase FSD, then decide FSD is not worth it, will Tesla grant a refund? I understand I could return the entire car itself, and order a new one without FSD, but that obviously seems like more of a hassle. (I tried to search for the answer in the post history, but...
