    Supercharger - Toronto, ON - Don Mills Road

    Good to see some destination chargers there too. The people actually spending time at Shops at Don Mills to shop, eat, or catch a movie can use those instead of taking up a Supercharger spot.

    Supercharger - Toronto, ON - Don Mills Road

    I really wonder why it should take so long to get new Superchargers open in the GTA. Locations like Fairview or the ones in Markham have been routinely well over capacity from like 9 am to 10 pm. If you live in a condo, you may not be able to charge your Tesla when you really need to, never mind...

    Supercharger - Toronto, ON - Don Mills Road

    Stopped by the other day, and just wanted to add the photo I took of the area. Can confirm it's on the 2nd level of the parkade very near the Flo charging stations.

    Supercharger - Scarborough, ON

    Looks like it. Level 2 of the parkade, a few metres down from the Flo charging station. I could count maybe 3 or 4 sitting there but I hope it'll have at least 6 stations when complete.

    Supercharger - Scarborough, ON

    A weird location it could be is the Canadian Tire at McCowan and Sheppard. It'll be beside a subway station, but not until the end of the decade. Not sure if the Electrify Canada location there precludes a Supercharger though. That being said, I'd agree somewhere on the north side of Progress...

    2020, 2019, 2018 Model 3 Battery Capacities & Charging Constants

    Thanks for the response! That was fast :) That sounds about right in terms of the constant. I usually charge up to 90-95% SOC, so I'll keep an eye on how much this varies and I'll post the updated pics if I see a significant change. One other thing I was wondering is, how does ambient...

    2020, 2019, 2018 Model 3 Battery Capacities & Charging Constants

    Hey everyone. I recently got my 2021 Model 3 SR+ delivered from Fremont. Went on a few day trips, so I'm already at 1,032 km, but I finally got around to taking these pictures. Also, forgive my smudgy screen... I'll clean it next time. lol Based on the numbers from the images, I calculated a...

    Here it is. Looks like just one line. Not sure if it would have been different if it was in drive though...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    You got it! I'm planning to keep track of 6 data points on most trips in the car: - Outside temperature - Road conditions (wet, icy, normal, etc) - Distance of trip - Starting battery level - Projected battery level at arrival - Actual battery level at arrival I would record the time taken vs...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Sure, I can take a picture of that. Will probably put it up on the main 2021 M3 sticky thread though.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I went with TD Insurance. They have decent group discounts (for certain company employees, or if you're a student/alumnus of a college or university on their list). From my research, you're likely not going to get a much better deal anywhere else. Also, I switched my condo insurance over to them...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Picked up my 2021 SR+ this past Saturday in Toronto, and had a really smooth experience. In terms of fit and finish, there was really nothing to note as far as I could tell. I'll get some photos of it when we catch some sun here, but overall I'm quite happy with it. First drive with it, I went...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I'm in the GTA as well. If I remember correctly, back in the first full lockdown in March - April, most auto services were considered essential and allowed to stay open. I'm not sure where Tesla locations fall into this, but I would think the Government of Ontario's website will specify. You can...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I'm not sure about other places, but in Ontario, we have to choose which insurance company we want to be fleeced by before taking delivery of a motor vehicle. So I just called in mid Oct (ordered Oct 1), and they told me my VIN would be available in about 2 weeks. I then called again after not...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I ordered on Oct 1. I hadn't heard any updates until Nov 6, when I called the Tesla showroom, saying I needed the VIN to purchase insurance. They emailed it to me, and sheduled a tentative delivery for Nov 23, saying the car was being shipped (I think the shipment destined for Toronto by the...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I wonder if I'm one of the first ones to be taking delivery of the refresh in Toronto. My delivery was going to be the 23rd, but it got moved up to the 21st. One week of waiting left... But I haven't seen my VIN anywhere on my Tesla account. I only know it through email, upon my request.

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    Can't wait for your results! Considering early winter-weather tests from an owner in Alberta last month found Model Y efficiency about 2% higher than the smaller, more aerodynamic Model 3 LR AWD, I would expect post-pump Model 3s to be more efficient than pre-pump ones by around 10%, plus or...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Thanks! I hope you see an update soon too! If you need the VIN sooner (to purchase auto insurance, etc.), you could try calling them and asking if they can provide it. The guy emailed me mine like 2 hours after we got off the phone. Also confirmed it's an 'MF' VIN in the 837000 range. Good luck!

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    In my case, I was told I would get mine around the beginning of Nov, but it was the 6th and nothing happened yet. I had to call them then, and only after that was I emailed my VIN and had a delivery scheduled. Even now, my VIN doesn't appear in my account, so maybe they just haven't put it into...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Called into my local Tesla store today and although there weren't any updates on my account yet (still the 4-8 weeks estimate), I got the following confirmed: I will receive the 2021 model (confirmed for a 2nd time now) I have a VIN assigned to my account apparently, and will have it emailed...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Damn, the Montreal orders seem to be getting delivery dates and VINs assigned pretty quickly now. I'm in Toronto, and haven't had any updates to my account yet, whatsoever. Ordered on Oct 1, and all it shows is 4-8 weeks (so presumably delivery by Nov 26...)

    My first winter

    Just wondering, what causes most of the range loss? Is it the ambient temp when the car is not driving or when it's driving? All else being equal, would I see less range loss if I'm parking my Tesla underground at, say, 5 C (41 F) versus if I were parking outside with temps reaching -10 C (14 F)...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Ordered Model 3 SR+, blue exterior, black interior on Oct 01. Was told by my Tesla rep I'd get my VIN for the "new version" in about 2 weeks. That call was in mid October, so this lines up with what you guys are being told!

    New Order Status

    I don't even have a date range. I ordered on Oct 1, and it still shows me "4-8 weeks from date order placed", but I'm thinking that will change as soon as I get a VIN. Curiously, since I ordered, wait times (for Ontario at least) have gone up to 6-10 weeks. I wonder if there's some sort of...

    Upgrade to FSD before increase?

    The only way I would take the plunge is if it was tied to my account. I can understand maybe having to pay a surcharge if you end up buying a higher end Tesla down the road (could be more involved for FSD to operate a Cybertruck over a M3), but to have to repurchase it at an ever-increasing...

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    What you'd see in those 36 pages of posts is a lot of speculation. Logically, it has to be one of the three you mentioned, but we'll need to wait until the new cars get into people's hands before we know for sure.

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    That's a really compelling theory actually. I totally forgot about the standard trim M3s made in China having LFP battery packs now. That would explain why they would keep both HVAC configurations only in China made cars. Wouldn't make sense to hold up all the other lithium chemistry Model 3s...

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    The "... built out of the Fremont California factory..." bit is key. Good news for northern US and Canada buyers, but I feel bad for our European friends, considering the reports that their SR+s won't get the heat pump. Hope that changes soon.

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    In my case, I just called my local Tesla location, and the guy that answered passed me on to an advisor who happened to be the one who sent me the "Conratulations on your order!" next steps email. If you can do it safely, going in person might be better.

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    That's my best guess too at this point. The only thing I can think of is maybe all Model 3 trims will include the hardware, but it will only come 'standard' in the LR and P trims. Similar to the rear heated seats, maybe it's something that SR/SR+ owners could unlock in the app by paying an extra...

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    If I remember correctly, that forum member is in Canada, if we read the same message. I wonder if it is possible that the SR+s coming out of Shanghai don't include it, while the ones from Fremont do? The amount of sense that would make is approaching zero though... If true, that's a huge...

    Any 2020 TM3 (unassigned vin) orders updated to a 2021 TM3 order?

    Ordered an SR+ on Oct 1. Have not been assigned a VIN yet, but my SA told me I would see one by the end of Oct, with delivery sometime around the end of Nov, possibly early Dec. When I asked, he said since I didn't have a VIN yet, and my vehicle was not yet in production, I would get the new...

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    Same here! The more I think about it, the more it would make sense for an upgrade like the heat pump to replace the current HVAC system across all trims of the Model 3. I'm no expert in logistics/supply chains but I can't imagine it would make a whole lot of sense to keep both HVAC...

    2021 Model 3 and differences from 2020

    In the Toronto area. I placed my order online on Oct 1 for a SR+, and my account still shows the old version. However, I called my SA today and he confirmed I haven't been matched with a vehicle yet, and that it's scheduled to start production in about 2 weeks, and stated quite definitively that...
