    Thank you @BobX and @Jgdixon

    Service & Tire Shop in Burlington/Hamilton Region

    Apologies if this has been discussed and I've not found it. Approaching 2.5 years of ownership and 50,000km and need to have some new tires and cabin filter replaced. Can anyone recommend a shop in the west part of the GTA that they've had a good experience with? Thanks in advance :)

    Canada Rogers Network impacts - no remote access?

    I read that Tesla uses Telus for connectivity but Starlink at the superchargers. Either way I drove around just fine today, and didn’t need to stress at a gas station with payment ;)

    Tesla power shutdown and fire. How to get kids out of back seats?

    My MY has powered down before and I have to be honest, the one and only time it happened was utterly frightening. I was in the middle of downtown Toronto and it began in the middle of an intersection, turn indicators didn’t work, screen black. Fortunately a hard reboot worked to get the car...

    Windows Open When MY Parked

    Yeah, I had that setting too. Ditto for an alert to come up on the app if the doors or windows open. Still it happened. I’ve done a hard reset and removed the vent on the app. Fingers crossed it works.

    Windows Open When MY Parked

    Kk. I will do a reboot and remove the vent section on the app and see if that helps. Thanks very much.

    Windows Open When MY Parked

    Looking for some guidance. Apologies if someone else has written on this. Twice in the past week I’ve come out to our MY and the windows have been down 1 inch. First time it happened was parked at the airport for a week. The weather was between -10 and +10 when we were away. Fortunately the...

    Tuxmat Happiness

    Apologies for the delay. Was off the site for a few months. They are soft-ish. More robust than carpet/OEM mats but definitely not hard. We live in Ontario and whilst we haven’t had much snow this winter we hike a lot and they’ve seen mud, water, salt, sand and a little bit of snow this year and...

    Our MY was built May 2021.

    Tuxmat Happiness

    Received our new tuxmats for Jeeves today. So happy with the fit and finish. Blows Weathertech out of the park. Definitely took some sweat to get them into place and did use the Velcro clips in places but well worth the money, especially given our winters here in southern Ontario. Will Defo...

    3000km down: MY Lows and Highs

    First time Tesla owner. We’ve done 3000km in our MY, mostly highway so far and I thought I would reach out to share what we love/dislike and get others opinions. I’m going to focus the dislikes on what’s in the vehicle not wish lists of things I knew were not in the vehicle when we decided to...

    First Test Drive - Initial Impressions And Buying Thoughts

    You may want to call Pittsburgh to ask if they will give you one for an overnight test. Our local did and we are so thankful they did as We are a one car family so the car had to work for both my husband and myself - honestly without taking it for a night I’m not sure we would have ever bought...

    Anyone else concerned/feeling short changed taking delivery on the new Model 3/Y?

    We took our MY, 10 days ago. We are new Tesla owners - I've written about our concerns, frustrations and hesitation. Tesla has an ego throughout the sales process that is unparalleled IMO. I imagine Fremont HQ is like an episode of Silicon Valley with a bunch of dudes laughing about farts...

    GTA Car Wash (not detailing)

    Thanks!! Will check it out.

    Canada Waiting Room

    Loving it. I would say it’s well worth the wait but I know there are probably a bunch of factors to consider if your date gets dragged out. The front mud flaps and PPF on the rear door flare was a welcome surprise but I would have preferred knowing in advance. Ditto for the lack of lumbar on...

    GTA Car Wash (not detailing)

    Hi friends -- Newbie here. If you see a female on the QEW with a grin about 8" wide with hair that is 10 months overdue for a cut that could be me (it could also be a couple dozen others at this point too). Question: Any reco's for favourite car washes (not detailers)? I'm looking for a...

    Canada Waiting Room

    That's crazy. I would be cheesed too. I have the same whip as you @David1oh -- ordered roughly the same time (within a day here to there). We got ours May 29th. Hoping you get a resolution soon. I'm in Ontario.

    110/120v Charging Amps Limits

    We use a J1772 (previous car was a Volt) with the Tesla adapter and we get 45km per hour draw.

    MY White Paint thick enough for Harbor Freight buffer?

    Any way this could be sap from trees? Only reason I ask is that I spend quite a bit of time in rural Canada and I used to get something very similar on my previous vehicle, a Volt.

    Canada Waiting Room

    192 VIN. Picked up this past weekend (ordered end of March). Ontario - Canada. No Passenger lumbar support but based on my experience with the driver's seat lumbar buttons I would say you are not missing much. The deflate setting basically is non existent so once you start playing around with...

    No More Passenger Lumbar on M3?

    Just picked up our 192 MY and there is no passenger lumbar support.

    Passenger lumbar support missing from new MY

    New Owner in Ontario, Canada. We took delivery on Saturday. Ours is a 192 VIN and we do not have lumbar on the passenger. I wrote a post about this but we were not even told about this on delivery. It was more like "oh that's your car, parked 3 rows over, go check it out." No mention of the...

    MY Delivery Day May 29th - First 48 Hours Review

    Ordered last week of March in Ontario, Canada. LR MY MSM with tow hitch, black interior. 192 VIN assigned. Picked-up 'Jeeves' this weekend. What a stud. First off, if it wasn't for some awesome owners on this forum I'm not sure we would have pulled the trigger, so thanks to all of those...

    Canada Waiting Room

    Picked-up our MY today 🥳🥳🥳 Ordered in March, Made in May, 192 VIN We are In Ontario. Will make a longer post when I've come back from buying cleaning supplies at Crappy Tire and finished putzing around the countryside.

    Model Y test-drive experience (not a current Tesla owner)

    Hey @suprax -- definitely try the chill mode and see if it helps. In particular, I found it helped me when accelerating away from lights as the 'back of head slammed into head rest feeling' was mitigated. I also put the screen on a much lower brightness setting and I found that helped a lot as...

    Model Y test-drive experience (not a current Tesla owner)

    I think a lot of it has to do with the quality of our roads too. I notice a lot of Americans don't have a problem with the suspension in the M-Y but I also know the US invests more in road infrastructure than we do in Southern Ontario, hi Eglinton Avenue I'm looking at you!

    Model Y test-drive experience (not a current Tesla owner)

    Sadly in Canada the LR Model Y is $69,900 with anything but white exterior paint. Performance with FSD, white interior etc you are looking at $97K CAD.

    Model Y test-drive experience (not a current Tesla owner)

    Not sure why you find my remarks about the finish of the MY so surprising. All I am trying to say is that for $70K, I expect a vehicle that looks the part. No one walks into a BMW dealership to pick up their M2 expecting or settling for body panel misalignment or body paint that doesn't match...

    Model Y Perf or BMW X3M?

    Hate the new 2021 BMW kidney grill which resembles the buck teeth of a beaver. If you are a big BMW lover I think you are going to really struggle with Tesla. My entire family are serial BMW drivers (M5, X5, X3, M2) and they loathe the Tesla wheel and they feel (as do I) that cornering at...

    Test drove the Model Y, Model 3 and the Mach E back to back to back, yesterday

    There are California Route 1's in Ontario, Canada!

    Model Y test-drive experience (not a current Tesla owner)

    Thanks for your note! It was defo a 2020 but I stupidly did not look at the PSI. Won't buy a Jag. Family members have had nothing but problems with them. The Taycan looks sweet but we don't have the money to spend on something like that. If I had more than $100K to spend on a car I would...

    Blog Report: Model 3 Inspired Compact Hatchback Planned for Europe

    I think a lot of people here are conflating a hatch opening and hatchback size vehicle. I’m a current Volt owner which has a very usable rear hatch opening and is one of the primary reasons we could not trade in Victor for a Model 3. Hatch’s for trunks/boots are so damn flexible. Most of the...

    Wipers don't work properly in Auto

    Interesting to read this. Non Tesla owner here (but I just test drove one and am trying to educate myself). On my test drive the wipers came on 4 times on their own accord but my hands were not at 10 and 2 when it happened and whole heartedly I did not accidentally touch the level. When I...

    Test drove the Model Y, Model 3 and the Mach E back to back to back, yesterday

    Really appreciate this post having done essentially the same thing and test drove the LR Model Y and AWD ER MME within 2 days of each other. The MME cargo room does seem undoubtedly smaller than the Model Y. I really liked the driver's cluster on the MME. I suppose I am a bit more of a...

    Model Y test-drive experience (not a current Tesla owner)

    Love it! Thanks for the giggle. You are right, the visibility is superb. I would agree. And ditto for traffic cones v cyclists. Thanks to Covid there is a lot of pedestrian distancing going on in our hood and not once did I see a person or cyclist come up on screen, but boy it does love to...

    Model Y test-drive experience (not a current Tesla owner)

    Heh Hehe - good stuff!! I think our SA didn’t really give us a full rundown on ‘can do’s’ before we left the lot so we were winging it a lot. Good to know it’s largely down to being Tesla virgins.

    Model Y test-drive experience (not a current Tesla owner)

    Than Thanks so much @LargeHamCollider - I really appreciate you taking time to reply. It definitely eases my fears hearing from those who have pulled the trigger.

    Model Y test-drive experience (not a current Tesla owner)

    Thanks @DwightKSchrute - I LOVE the look of the Model 3 but as this would be our only car and we run a business we really need the flexibility of more cargo and a flat wide easily accessible opening for the trunk. If the Model 3 was a hatch I wouldn't even hesitate - in fact I would pre-order if...

    Model Y test-drive experience (not a current Tesla owner)

    Considering buying a Model Y and Tesla were kind enough to provide us with an overnight test drive. Some thoughts feelings but some disclosure first: - I am a 'young-ish middle aged' woman (been driving for over 25 years, will leave it at that) - I don't currently own a Tesla - I do own a...
