Apologies. my bad. These older CrossClimates of mine are actually 98 Y. The newer CC 2s only have the 98 V in that size, but I would not hesitate to choose them or the Nokian 98 V today.

Agree about the speed rating. KAL tire's website won't recommend an "All-weather" 235 45r18 98 V for my M3LR, and no 98 W "All-weather's" in that size exist on their website, but three 98 Vs do. So you have to persuade them to go with a 98 V. Currently running Michelin CrossClimates 98 V in...

The L2 chargers look like standard Tesla home chargers, so prolly don't have any way of charging $$. Free electrons I guess? Any idea what the kW is?

Chargers still wrapped and no green electrical box that I could see yesterday

Had similar problems a year or so ago. It's especially bad in the cold when that bulky cable is so stiff. I ended up maneuvering the car across two charging lanes so the cable wasn't twisted and didn't put too much stress on the Tesla port.( I was the only car there). But I haven't used them...

I park my truck and trailer near Huntsville ON, but keep a 12V "battery maintainer " on them as they're not used that frequently. The batteries have typicaly lasted ~8 years when maintained that way. So I'm surprised the Tesla hi voltage battery doesn't do a better job as a 12V "battery...

Not as of yesterday ... but there were a lot of snow piles around so perhaps under one of them 😏

Ivy has 50kW chargers up North. Hearst even. You need a CCS adapter. Or Chademo. But hopefully their charging interface has improved; I had nothing but problems a year or 2 ago at their enroute chargers.

This has happened to me frequently over the last year or 2. Sometimes not. So I always check after plugging in during the day.

Similar experience here with our 2021 M3LR. ~0.5 kWh/day or less, over 2 months sitting in the basement of our condo. Just don't use Sentry mode, and don't check on it with Tesla app all the time (that wakes it up from deep sleep).

No, just from news reports.

That's my understanding.

We go thru West Virginia and the Appalachians and so appreciate the winter tires. Our tires are "all-weather": Michelin CrossClimate with the triple peak/snowflake symbol, and we leave them on all year.

Just looked through Toronto area inventory and based on the reported ranges there are both LG and Panasonic LR Y's still available. The longer range ones, Fremont Panasonics?, tend to be cheaper, as they've been sitting on the lot longer?

Yup. Think it was Ivy software on the phone. Maybe it's better now. I even tried their Card but it too was erratic. Just tried the adapter again at Cookstown Tanger Outlets. Used Chargepoint App with 50kW Flo CCS charger. Worked ok. $0.54 per kWh, compared to Tesla's 60 cents in Barrie, but...

Another reason not to use them. I had nothing but trouble getting my Tesla ccs adapter to work with Enroute Ivy. Communication problems. Tried a few times, got it to work once or twice, gave up the rest. Also, those stiff, heavy cables and the bulky adapter looked like they would break my...

Wow, those edges appear so sharp (last link especially) you could cut yourself.

Yup. Just checked it myself. Premium not required. Can see how many slots are occupied.

Does it not work w/o premium as long as the car is connected to the internet via your phone's Hotspot? I know you need premium for traffic updates ...

Hunh. One of the reasons I ended up using the existing drier circuit (24A cont) in our 100A panel is that adding another (especially 32A) circuit could potentially overload the panel. And I didn't want to upgrade our electrical service to 200A.

Slower cause a dryer circuit is limited to only 24A continuous. So 240Vx24A=5760W. A built-in Tesla charger can give you a lot more if you need it. We don't.

We use Tesla's mobile connector that came with car (not any more I guess). Plug it into a dryer 240V socket (had to buy an adapter). Slower, but all we need.

It, the 0.60, includes the HST in ON. My latest was $0.53 base rate plus HST on the total.

Apparently CAA does, but won't insure it. Ontario Insurance. BelairDirect?

Around 8pm Tuesday a line of about 10 Tesla's appeared at Sherway Gardens, GTA, Ontario, waiting to get a spot. All the drivers had reflective gear, some with rental logos (Hertz was one iirc). And a van was waiting to take the drivers away. This site is crowded and slow enough without these...

So, turns out the BelairDirect quote included a 15% discount for also insuring your home. Without that, CAA was cheaper for the Tesla alone. Also I substantially overestimated the Tesla part of our Intact Insurance (home+autos), and it included several significant options the others didn't...

We'll see! Will report back in a year or two with the latest data. Appreciate all the comments, people. Very informative forum.

Perhaps a Loess smooth is preferable to the linear plot. But it gives a simlar 95% C.I to the linear plot at the right edge: ~74-75.5 kWh at 2 years and 27.5K kms.

Two years since we purchased our M3LR, built June 2021 at Fremont. Have been using AlanSubie4Life's est. of battery capacity since purchase. (See sticky) Calculating Your Battery's Estimated Capacity Using the Car's Energy Screen Don't pay attention to range estimates much. Typically calculate...

Online TD Meloche Monnex lists a bunch engineering and geoscience associations whose members are eligible for their insurance. We're highly (over?) Educated but not in those areas. Thanks anyway!

I can have Tesla key issues when my Android phone is actively using Bluetooth with another device ... like ear buds. So I turn these off before approaching the car.

Thanks but not interested. Our son tried renting his car when working in Denmark. Too much trouble. All you need is one or two aholes to make the whole experience miserable.

Thanks, I'll look into TD Meloche Monnex as well. I've got local Caa and Coop agents preparing quotes now. Belair refused to insure our house/cottage cause of an oil furnace (despite the above ground fibreglas tank), but their auto rates looked good.

OK. Thanks, will look into CAA too!

So any experience with BelairDirect in Ontario? Have had Intact Insurance for the last two years ($1200/yr for a 2021 m3lr) but this year they've boosted that to over $1800. Belair has just quoted me $1200. My son has used BelairDirect in the past but made no claims so don't really know if...

Hunh. That's an interesting app. Thanks for the tip!

Not much of a hassle. Just turn on hot spot before entering. But I suppose having to use your phone rather than the car's screen to set up streaming is a bit of a hassle

I have a Galaxy A53, Android 13, One UI 5.1 Last winter it stopped working as a car key for several months. But I could use the Tesla app to get in. But now, after several updates (Tesla app and in-car, and Samsung) it works fine. Sorry, I can't be more specific as to what fixed it. I do...

So no plugnplay for magic dock users? But what about a Ford or GMC with a NACS plug in 2025? To me, plugnplay would be VIP

Yep, happens to me all the time. But the possible resulting "unintended acceleration " is not that much of an issue as we use "chill" mode.

The white interior does look great, just saw one close up yesterday. But unless it's impervious to coffee and chocolate stains, not an option for us.

Had the same experience a couple of times at the Ivy at Barrie Enroute last fall. So gave up. But supposedly Ivy has upgraded their system recently, and so I was going to try again. But now, maybe not. My other issue was that the cables and CCS adapter are so bulky and stiff, especially in...

Yup. In the winter around here I don't even wait for the lower electricity rates after 7pm. Just plug it in (outside) when we arrive around noon and the battery is warm. Especially when a big temperature drop overnight is predicted. That -9C near Pittsburgh caught us off-guard. Guess we were...

Well that was easy with our M3LR. And Hilton Head, S.C. experienced an early spring mid Feb. when we were there. Lovely trip all in all. Used A Better Route Planner ABRP to plan the route and charging stops as Tesla's tended to give me longer drives and charging times. We're in our 70s and...

The other day I took off without preheating after a very cold night and was surprised at the effort required to brake. Regenerative braking, one pedal driving, has certainly spoiled me. But after a about a half an hour of driving, the battery was warm enough to charge and regenerative braking...

In summer here in Ontario we use off-peak (7pm to 7am) scheduled charging routinely. But in the winter, especially when the nights are much colder than the days, I'll plug in and start charging immediately. Otherwise the energy required to heat up a cold soaked battery can negate some of the...

Vaughn is a mess on weekends. And Black Friday was really crazy. But then, even the non-Tesla parking spots were hard to find. Not sure what the attraction of that mall is. But have had similar problems with other mall Superchargers as well, like Sherway Gardens. When just passing thru, not...

Heading South for a few weeks next month and have a different/better credit card for purchases in US$. I'll put it on my Tesla account if Tesla doesn't insist on doing the $ conversion itself because it's a Canadian car. ? Thanks.

Nope. Just tried.

Hmmm, my 2021 M3LR never gets much above 130kW as I recall. Does the 2022 really have faster charging?
