    Has anyone used the Tesla reccomended body shop?

    Depending on where you live, I have used Excellence Auto in Scarborough. Terrible shop.

    Slight trunk to c pillar misalignment - what would you do?

    They will fix it. Make it Tesla's problem.

    2 accidents within 2 months.

    As long as everyone is safe, nothing else matters.

    This won’t be cheap 🤣

    We will be in SoCal for a week so I figured that leaving them the car is best. Karma can be a fun thing sometimes.

    $900 wow! What with the Tesla "tax"? Check out those guys (above). If the authorized shop hadn't already order the parts, I would've gone there.

    First claim in like a hundred years. Going through insurance and OEM parts.

    Interesting update. It seems that my replacement windshield needs to be shipped from California apparently. It won’t be shipping out until the 18th of the month, and that is being transported by land. This seems to be unusually long. Any opinions?

    Wheel alignment in the GTA

    Went to KAL Tire in Scarborough, this morning. Turns out that while the camber was good, the car was toed-out a bit, which explains the occasional "drift". Seems pretty good now.

    Wheel alignment in the GTA

    I just find the Tesla cost for the wheel. Alignment are excessive. Kal Tire charges $149 for the same service using Hunter alignment equipment. Tesla costs on the other hand, are $330. While I can afford it, I just find the cost to be ridiculous. Now facing having to pay my deductible for a...

    Seeking Advice on Wiper Blades for 2024 Highland Model

    I am not 100% certain, but shouldn't that not make a difference?

    Seeking Advice on Wiper Blades for 2024 Highland Model

    It should be replaceable under warranty at this point.

    Question about connecting with anyone @ Tesla who may assist with purchase?

    Sadly, I don’t think this is the same Tesla that you experienced in 2018. This is now a company motivated by sales and to a great extent, Elon Musk’s greed in my honest opinion.

    Wow!!!! What the heck has happened since then? This is crazy! Thank you for the enlightenment.

    Falls under comprehensive. Still a deductible to pay. Is there such an option?

    Crazy huh? I’m still in shock.

    This won’t be cheap 🤣

    I was stunned at how quick the process was with CAA Insurance. I uploaded my pics and estimate from Excellence Auto Collision and the next day, I had approval. Great user experience. Their rates are pretty good for GTA folks. Highly recommend.

    This won’t be cheap 🤣

    Oh so slight nick on it but the estimator put is in. $225 part. I would’ve just touched it up with a black sharpie.

    On a Tesla?
  19. Soul Surfer

    This won’t be cheap 🤣

    >$400 for camera calibration? Total estimate is $3,400 ish with a night side wiper arm. One little scratch and they want to replace the arm/motor assembly. Yikes!!!

    Wheel alignment in the GTA

    I'd have to pack a lunch for the drive there LOL.

    This won’t be cheap 🤣

    Driving along the 403 to Mississauga this morning and keeping away from large trucks, when I hear a loud CRACK! This one won’t just fix at a repair place. Bummer! The cost of ownership with any car. Probable will replace the wiper arm too. At Excellence Auto. Apparently Tesla no longer does...

    Is this ok? Strange noises.

    Holee molee! Sounds like a jet taking off! Could it be fan and AC? You didn't specify year and model. Doesn't sound right either way. You do live in Fla. so the higher heat might cause the HVAC to work overtime? Just guessing.

    Wheel alignment in the GTA

    I would like to have it checked really. My Chev dealer would do a free check on my Volt and Corvette.

    Thank you John.

    Wheel alignment in the GTA

    This is probably been answered before, but can anyone recommend a good wheel alignment service in the GTA? I would prefer one who is quite familiar with Teslas. I am not sure that I actually need one, but I would really like to get it checked out since the car continues to drive pretty straight...

    Charging at Airbnb with Dryer Outlet During Colorado Road Trip

    Yes. On their website. They are sold as a kit or individually. At least if anything should happen to your car, they would have to cover when using their products.

    Charging at Airbnb with Dryer Outlet During Colorado Road Trip

    Your best to get the official Tesla package of adaptors for your mobile charger. Messing around with any other brand or Amazon cost-effective solution, might be playing with fire, literally. Just my two cents.

    Not bad degradation after almost 3 yrs.

    Now, that is how life should be lived!

    Not bad degradation after almost 3 yrs.

    After reading so many anecdotes from other owners, I thought I would load up to 100% for "Schlitz & Guinness" yo see how much I had lost since taking ownership.
  30. Soul Surfer

    Not bad degradation after almost 3 yrs.

    I’m pretty impressed with my 21. It seems to have only lost about 7km after nearly 3 yrs

    What happened to acceleration and regen bar in 2024.14.6?

    No. But I did pay closer attention this time. Not their best work.
  32. Soul Surfer

    What happened to acceleration and regen bar in 2024.14.6?

    OK, I found it. This was a seriously lame update, to have made the acceleration and reach generation bar so slim. If you guys hadn’t made the mention, I don’t think I would’ve seen it for a while. Thank you to all.

    What happened to acceleration and regen bar in 2024.14.6?

    Interesting! I am sure I would have noticed it going green on region as I was on a highway, but no it did not. I will continue to monitor and look for clues. Thank you. (Dankuwel)

    What happened to acceleration and regen bar in 2024.14.6?

    Not yet anyways. I was paying close attention and nothing. I even checked with tech support and they don’t know.

    anyone with experiences with Fix Auto Concord (Vaughan, Ontario)? how is parts availability nowadays

    Or consider Excellence Auto off Midland north of Elsemere. They work on exotics and are approved by Tesla.

    What happened to acceleration and regen bar in 2024.14.6?

    As you can see by my pic, it is not there. Any thoughts?

    What happened to acceleration and regen bar in 2024.14.6?

    Any thoughts? My car info is in the signature. O just notice this recently as I wasn’t paying attention before. Tried 2 figure reset and hard reset with brake. Now did a software reinstall. Is this a bug?

    FSD warning: huge hotspot data hog

    I am assuming that you do not have the connectivity package? Does FSD not run without your hotspot? I'm confused. Have you tested with your hotspot turned off? I don’t think you covered this bit of detail. Thank you.
  39. Soul Surfer

    Cost of repair or possible total loss?

    I’ll go with a hard no. No airbags or pyro fuse? Makes sense that the alignment is off. Maybe broke some sensors too, but I doubt a wright-off. Just my 2¢

    Steering Wheel Connectors

    Beat me to it. I was about to mention the same thing. Same connectors as in my computer boards. Same method too.

    Model 3 without daily charging

    Probably still cheaper in your country than ours, because of your adoption rate.

    Model 3 without daily charging

    Sentry does tend to be also known for its "vampire" drain. I forget how much %/day it does. You might want to just try it out for getting the proper data points on it, though.

    Manually avoid potholes

    That is most unfortunate. The low profile tire/rim combo comes with that challenge. Sadly, I don’t think AP, EAP or FSD, can really handle that sort of thing.

    How does one drive the car when the screen dies and you have no stalks?

    Same thing happened to me in 1972, while on a date in my dad's 1971 Plymouth Duster with Judy C. I looked up just before hitting a parked car. Don’t ask 🤣

    Thoughts on aftermarket taillights? Model 3

    THAT is waaaay too much money. IMHO. Too rich for my blood.
  46. Soul Surfer

    Yeah this sucks. [car accident]

    I'm no expert. It doesn't look that bad, as I don’t see airbags deployed (did they?). Did the pyro fuse blow? Otherwise, NICE CAR!

    This is insane, this needs to stop, another Hyundai stolen by teenagers

    My partner had a 2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring GLS for close to 14 years and other than wear and tear, no other issues. Great car but dumb tech. She now has a 2024 Subaru Crosstrek - way better car.

    Believe me, the "greenhouse effect" can happen really fast when you least expect it this helps a lot!
