It just happened to my 2021 Model 3 SR+. , it died just 1 minute out of the tunnel in rush hour Vancouver. They towed it away and parts won’t be available until July 6! I’ve had the car 3 months.

I’ve had my M3 SRP for 2 months, I am a sales rep and drive every weekday, anywhere from 40-140km per day. I just plug into my 120v outlet in the garage when I get home - I rarely use the car in the evenings - and 10 hours gets it back to 80 or 90 percent. When I’m out and there’s a free...

I leave my dog in the car while I do sales calls of 15-45 min duration. Today I got an alert that my alarm was triggered, I ran out to my car to find the alarm blaring and my poor dog frantic. What would make the alarm go off in dog mode and how can I keep this from happening again? I’ve had my...

Thanks everyone for your input! I took a Kona out for the day yesterday and followed up with yet another Tesla test drive. I was able to address my concerns with seat adjustments and changing the drive modes, thanks to the advice and comments made here. The Kona has a lot going for it, I can’t...

Rebate cutoff is 45,000 but allows a trim upgrade to 55,000. Tesla priced the model 3 standard range at $44,999 and adds the “plus” as a trim level for another $6,000 and change. So even though the Y is close in price, it’s over the base model and doesn’t qualify.

True, it’s quite a tussle!!

Tesla placed the Model 3 standard range base price right at the cusp of the rebate cutoff but because regulations allow for trim upgrade, the “plus” part is included. Very clever. The federal rebate is $5,000 and provincial (BC) is an additional $3,000. Maybe this explains it better: “Up to...

Oh...and I can’t take my new rescue Scruffy with me to work in the summertime in a Kona! I asked at Tesla today and was told the warranty would be void if there were any bumper issues. What possible bumper issues could there be? I think the installer would cover it if any damage resulted from...

I understand the wow as the Tesla certainly has the wow factor. But I’m being mindful of lifestyle and work style and driving a sports car all day every day isn’t necessarily practical or comfortable. The Kona drives like a normal ICE vehicle, the driving position is more upright and there’s no...

Good to know, thank you. I’ve just spoken to my hitch shop - this will be my 4th - and they’ve installed many on Teslas including the stealth hidden hitch. So that box is ticked. I’m taking one of my inflatable kayaks, golf clubs and cart with me today for a final test drive and will know once...

Attaching a hitch for my bike rack would be a must. I know it’s possible but is it adviseable? Anyone have a hitch/bike rack setup on their Model 3?

Sorry, I’m clearly a newb! I meant Model 3 SR+. No, the Y does not qualify for the rebate, Elon priced the Model 3 just under the cutoff for luxury non-rebate status in Canada. The Y would be the best option for sure for hauling my kayaks and bikes but out of my price range. I drive for work...

Actually the list price for the 3 LRP is $52,990 and qualifies for the $8,000 rebates - and the Y is only available in Long Range at $69,990. Add 12% tax to both.

Yes, money is the reason. I get an $8,000 rebate for the 3 but not for any other models. Model Y would be $10K+ more...The 3 SRP is $55K and the Y is $10K more - and I believe they just discontinued the standard range in Canada.

I'm going out of my mind with paralysis of analysis...I want an EV because I drive all day for work and am reimbursed by the km and have to use that $$ to pay for gas, insurance, maintenance on my vehicle. In Vancouver gas prices are hitting 1.50/L these days! I'm spending approx 300/month on...
