    Supercharger - Ozona, TX - 14th St

    This supercharger has been open since Apr 8 according to signs someone put on the other Ozona SC stalls. I charged at this new one today while two other cars were charging. It should be marked open on supercharge.info.

    Factory Reset Tesla Gen 3 Wall Connector?

    I know this is an old thread but it's what came up when I searched for how to reset a TMC to factory defaults, and now I have the answer. Once you connect your phone to the TMC's WiFi as in the instructions, go to http://192.168.92.1/service, and there's a factory reset button in there.

    Supercharger - Kemptville Ontario

    I didn't look for the Hydro One connection or ask any more questions. I'm sure they get tired of Tesla owners bugging them... And yes, Tesla usually does the final commissioning before they go live, but that can happen quickly.

    Supercharger - Kemptville Ontario

    I dropped by today and someone was pulling the covers off the stalls while someone else was painting the lines. I asked if they were going live today and he said no, but it looks very close...

    Canada - FSD rollout

    The question was about signalling before moving into a turn lane, not for regular lane changes. For me, it almost never signals a turn before entering the turn lane; often the signal turns on just before making the turn.

    FSD Beta 10.11

    Once you click the "request beta" button, Safety Score will track all driving until you either get the FSD Beta software or cancel your beta request. You can't turn Safety Score on and off, but once you have the FSD Beta software, it goes away and all they track is forced autopilot disengagements.

    Gen 3 wall connector power sharing

    I guess the algorithm is being extra careful not to go over the limit and maybe that's also why it ramps up slowly when it starts charging. Maybe there are scenarios where one car starts charging before the other one knows about it... In my case, the two TWCs are on separate 60A circuits and I...

    Gen 3 wall connector power sharing

    The TWC doesn't use a neutral, so the white neutral wire is probably just capped with nothing connected to it.

    Gen 3 wall connector power sharing

    What did you set as the maximum total current? If they share a 60A circuit, it should be 48A. It takes about 10 minutes for a single unit to ramp up to the maximum current when the other one is not charging, and even when only one is charging, the current seems to drop and come back up every...

    Glare from side repeaters in blind spot camera?

    I fixed my cameras and the glare is completely gone. My cameras are 1125106-50-G (left) and 1125107-50-G (right) and they had extreme glare on both sides. Tesla wouldn't replace them under warranty but offered to replace them at half price - I declined. I had to remove the plastic between the...

    Gen 3 wall connector power sharing

    If anyone is interested in setting up more than four Tesla Wall Connectors with Power Sharing, the latest firmware (21.36.6) now supports up to six WCs. Details are at Gen 3 Wall Connector Power Sharing and the latest firmware is at Troubleshooting a Gen 3 Wall Connector. A few tips for...

    Glare from side repeaters in blind spot camera?

    Just a guess but maybe the material you're using isn't 100% opaque. Black silicone might transmit a bit of light. Maybe try Liquid Tape or PlastiDip.

    Thoughts on earlier model S cars duration of drive units...

    I don't know if my motors would have gotten worse if they weren't replaced. I think the issue had to do with inadequate grease or loss of grease causing gear wear, so probably they would have failed. I don't have the answer to your question - whether an old one that hasn't failed will continue...

    Thoughts on earlier model S cars duration of drive units...

    In my Dec 2013 Model S, Tesla replaced the motor under warranty in May 2015 at 34,400 km (installed rev M) and again in May 2016 at 51,900 (installed rev Q). Both times, the only symptom was a low grinding noise at low speeds. It was always drivable; I just asked them about the noise and they...

    Supercharger - Kingston, ON (Dalton Ave)

    Construction started on Nov 3 2014 and it opened on Mar 5 2015. There was a temporary single-stall supercharger installed behind the mall during that time too.

    Supercharger - Kingston, ON (Dalton Ave)

    Much better than the first one in Kingston - that took over 4 months.

    Canadian Stores and Service Centers

    The Tesla map shows store hours and service hours for Carling but only store hours for Barrhaven, and the Motor Works Private address doesn't show up if you try to create a service appointment in the app. Maybe they aren't doing service in Barrhaven yet, just sales and deliveries? I wouldn't be...

    Model Y Heat stopped working

    I haven't had any heat issues (yet) in my Model Y LR, VIN 24xxx, delivered in July 2020. I asked Tesla service about it a few weeks ago and they said they'd check into it and get back to me if I needed any fix. No response yet.

    Winter Tires and Rims in Ottawa

    The guy at my tire shop just said they were not available until January 1. It could be just here in Canada. I did notice that they are available to order on TireRack.com but the price would be quite a bit higher, especially after factoring in shipping, duties and customs broker fees. Oh well...

    Winter Tires and Rims in Ottawa

    Update: I got the sensors from Tesla, but apparently Michelin X-Ice Snow tires are not available in the Model Y size (255/45R19) until January. Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 are also not available yet and they don't know when they will be. I'm now going with Continental VikingContact7 104T, which are...

    Winter Tires and Rims in Ottawa

    It did include sensors at $75 each, but that was before I told him about the Bluetooth sensors. I have sensors on order from Tesla ($100 each + HST) but André at Slick is still trying to find suitable ones for less elsewhere. Without the sensors (but with him installing the Tesla ones) it...

    PPF Ottawa Area

    Got my Model Y fully wrapped with XPEL Ultimate Plus at Goldwing last week and I'm very happy. The film looks great and these guys are very skilled - they wrapped edges wherever they could and they took off emblems, window trim, etc. to get the film underneath. It took them 3 days plus another...

    Model Y for Canada!

    The Tesmanian mats are very nice too. The fit is perfect and the sides are higher than the WeatherTech ones we got from Tesla for the Model S.

    Supercharger - Peterborough, ON

    I wonder if the road painters put the plastic on the stalls and just didn't take it off. Or maybe it's to protect them from landscaping work (spray grass seed?)

    Model Y for Canada!

    Tesla provides a front plate holder that is held on with 3M VHB double-sided tape - no drilling. This tape is used for lots of industrial applications and it should hold fine. The only reason I'd ever take the front plate off would be if the law changed in Ontario. With a little dental floss and...

    Winter Tires and Rims in Ottawa

    I got a quote from Goldwing too but I found a better deal at Slick Automotive: Replika R241 wheels (black, 19.5 x 9", +45 offset) and Michelin X-Ice SNOW tires (255/45-19). X-Ice SNOW is the new tire that replaces the X-Ice 3 and it's getting good reviews. I've bought two sets of tires for my...

    Tesla Winds and Elevation Web Browser App

    On Model Y with 2020.24.6.4, I can't change the units to Metric. When I tap the "Imperial" button, a white rectangle flashes on top of the car info display (outside the browser area) and there's no popup to choose Metric. I have a video if that helps.

    Model Y for Canada!

    My page said “drafting your contract” right up to delivery day but the MVPA was there with the wire transfer instructions on the last page.
  33. Peter_M

    Model Y for Canada!

    I was actually offered delivery on June 30 but declined because I would have had to pay in advance. I think the factory is making car configurations in batches and certain configs came out earlier so yes, I was just lucky!

    Model Y for Canada!

    I don’t know what ACH is but when I said I wanted to pay by bank draft after inspecting the car, I was told I would have to take delivery in Toronto. If I was willing to wire the money and sign the papers online in advance, I could have taken delivery in Ottawa where I live. The MVPA says: “Your...

    Be aware that you can’t get custom green plates so you’ll need to choose green OR custom. Green plates let you drive solo in HOV lanes. Tesla will set you up with green plates by default.

    Model Y for Canada!

    Got our Model Y today! Delivery at Oakville went smoothly. They unlocked the car, we got in and went through the intro and questions by phone, then we hung up and took 25 minutes to thoroughly check over the car. The delivery guy came out to take note of the issues we found, we gave him the...

    Model Y for Canada!

    I just set up insurance for my Model Y that's arriving soon. At TD Meloche Monnex with a university group rate, I'm paying $1460/yr with a $500 deductible, accident forgiveness and 5-year replacement cost. The rep said that the 5-year replacement cost coverage costs about $90 in the first year...

    Model Y for Canada!

    I have a VIN and my car is on its way but there's still no VIN in my web page source. There is an MVPA and that has the VIN in it. So if you're eagerly refreshing and checking, watch for an MVPA link to appear below the App Store and Google Play icons.

    Model Y for Canada!

    Got my VIN (again) today! This time the MVPA just showed up with a 24xxx VIN even though the page doesn't show the VIN yet. I refused the last delivery appointment for a 12xxx car because they would only deliver in Ottawa with pre-payment. I'll be picking it up in Toronto (Oakville) but don't...

    Model Y for Canada!

    I did a full PPF wrap on my 2013 Model S and I'm really happy I did. No stone chips or paint damage after 187,000 km, including lots of highway driving. On Model Y, the front-facing edge of the rear fenders could catch stones too, so I'd suggest doing at least the front bumper, hood, front and...

    Model Y for Canada!

    I was told my MY would be ready for pickup in Ottawa on June 30, but when I told them I wanted to inspect the car before signing and paying, they said I would have to take delivery in Toronto. So they released my car to someone else and now I'm back in the queue. I don't know why the Ottawa site...

    Model Y for Canada!

    Change of plans... I'm not getting my car next Tuesday after all. It turns out that the only way to pick up a car in Ottawa is to sign the MVPA and pay by wire transfer in advance. I wasn't comfortable signing and paying before inspecting the car, so they told me that means I have to pick up...
