    Let the hacking begin... (Model S parts on the bench)

    I found my way back here from the FB post... Been holding off upgrading my P85+. Waiting for the next next thing. I imagine they don't want to announce anything new until after the "3" event....

    220V Charging at the Cottage

    14-50. I remember seeing pictures of your setup Mknox or at least i remember you responding on a thread about this. Any issues with your setup? I take it you have done this for a few winters without issue? fortunately i don't need to move my stove. The old garage was once used for housing...

    220V Charging at the Cottage

    I believe Doug & Knox had posted about this a few years back but was wondering if anyone could give me some updated advice. I live in New York and have a cottage in the Peterborough Area. Thinking of taking the P85 up for Thanksgiving this week (first time) and worried about charging when we...

    Supercharger - Syracuse, NY

    This one is particularly painful. I am not sure if the squeeky wheel gets the grease but i reached out to Tesla this week and they are still holding on to the 2014 target (with ~45 days to go i might add). This is what they wrote on 11/6/2014 Thank you for your email and feedback. We are...

    Eastern Canada Superchargers

    Correct, I live in the NYC area and all of the SC"s around me (Grenwhich, Darien etc) are built into rest stops... Gas Stations want you to stop and buy coffee/chips/beer etc so any reason to stop is good for them. They make money. I dont think having Gas would prevent them from wanting to have...

    Drive unit problems explanation by Elon

    Not sure if this is the correct thread to post to... I had been hearing a thud very often while i was in stop and go traffic and i would disengage the accelerator. This would happen more often than not. I called Tesla in Mt Kisco and had a three week wait for an appointment. I was also...

    Supercharger - Syracuse, NY

    Anyone have any word on a syracuse supercharger? Scent has gone awfully cold... It is listed as 2014 but not soon anymore... Feels like last year when there was a lot of work to do to hit the 2013 goals with a few months to go.. they got close.. we have 4 months to go and a lot of SC's to...

    Yes. Very curious about the ~Cobourg location.. The Cornwall SC puts me 2 hours longer than my typical drive with the ICE Vehicle... A Cobourg one will help out. Syracuse as well...

    Four Rial Lugano 19" wheels bent in two weeks - are they up to the task?

    my wife drove by the pothole the next morning and said it was "pretty big". i was driving about 15-20mph max. the only one that was not impacted was the front driver side rim which maybe makes sense as i think the pot hole was on the passenger side... Fingers crossed the tire place that...

    Four Rial Lugano 19" wheels bent in two weeks - are they up to the task?

    **update**. I installed 4 of the luganos about a 4-5 weeks ago and I was experience a rough ride after a modest pothole on saturday night. 3 of my 4 rims are bent according to tesla. Gonna take it back to the place that mounted the tires and see if they can repair the rims... fingers crossed.

    How is your exterior protected?

    Full xpel and gtechniq. Expensive bit worth it. I am in the northeast and since i did the gtechniq my car doesnt seem to get dirty at all... Before it was always dirty.

    I hope you are right. Id love to drive across the country... Something is holding up the fact that not 1 SC has been built between toronto and montreal. It could really use it. I hope they build dozens up there and sooner rather than later.

    Russia is no longer bigger after the breakaway republics (USSR vs Russia) that happened decades ago. I agree with the need to get west coast of canada to east coast. I would hope they out them across the TCH I just don't see the practicality.

    Things you may not have discovered about your Model S?!

    And New York too. Is the tip for windows on this list. If you hold the roof of fob down all windows will roll down. You can't roll them back up without going i. Car but it does help when your handles won't present!

    I'm Canadian live in New York and have a summer place north of Toronto. I want a network more than most. It's the largest country in the world with the population of California. 90% of the population is within 100 miles of the us border. I'm not pessimistic I am a realist and business...

    Tesla Supercharger network

    Very few people drive from usa to canada and across canada so it would be a very poor business decision to cover canada west to east.... Earlier in the thread someone was quoting a goal of 400 superchargers in north america before they are done. Imho no more than 30 would ever be built in...

    1/4 of canadas population is within 100 miles of toronto. They will likely connect windsor to montreal. I dont seet hem doing much more than the TCH and 401 between toronto and montreal. Not enough population to care.
