    Apple & Android Watch support

    https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/1950/musk-confirms-that-tesla-will-add-apple-watch-support-in-future-update That would be quite cool, but for now, just "vaporware".

    Warranty question - just curious

    Hi all, Might be a dumb question on my part, but here goes. I took delivery of my M3 LRAWD, September 23, 2021. It was a floor model with almost zero mileage on it. When connecting to the app, I happened to glance at the specs & warranty screen and noticed that the expiration for my basic...

    37k, Km’s brake service

    I know many owners argue that it’s a “money grab”. Both my Gen 1 & Gen 2 Volts, went through them. Especially in winter here in Toronto with the salt and all. The mechanisms tend to get crusty, dusty and jammed. Skej’d for tomorrow morning. I think it’s just part of ownership. Any thoughts?

    Be mindful of the customizable lock sound

    So after messing around with the plethora of different lock sounds after this last update 2023.44, I chose not to go “custom”. After a while I realized that my normal “one honk” was no longer there. I fixed it in the settings/locks (see photo).

    Probably a silly questio about storage

    Hey all, Around the same time last year, I had TKR (Total Knee Replacement) of my left knee so I didn't think much about SoC, since I drive with my right foot. I've just had my right knee done last week and I won't be able to drive for several weeks. My car is a late year 2021 M3LR and is...

    Just checking in with the GTA if any interest in buying our Diono car seat?

    Mods - Totally cool if you delete this. I'm just inquiring as I know the Diono is probably the best fit in a Model 3. I will post pics and specs in the for sale section later. Cheers everyone.

    Tesla crashes into townhouse in North York

    The neighbours have been complaining about speeding. Fortunately no casualties. I recently read on the web, some report claiming that Tesla drivers have the worse driving record. Pretty sad statement. I guess not hearing a high revving engine when speeding, has its drawbacks. Mods, if you...

    Non Tesla DC chargers are really expensive!

    Holy cow! I was blown away by the Onroute Ivy charger costs! We went to Montreal for my best mate's birthday celebration and unlike other times, we did not stay at a Holiday Inn with free destination chargers. When I compared the SuperCharger rates to these, I was shocked. I am certain that...

    Selling my extra Tesla OEM SAE J-1712 to NACS adapter

    Original Tesla NACS to J-1772 to J-1772 adapter. I bought this second one, thinking that would lose the one I had, but so far, this hasn't happened. It has been sitting in my clove box since November 2021. I recently upgraded to CCS so this one has to go. It has never been used, so the price is...

    Travelling in Italy

    Travelling from Barolo to Milano. We stopped at an Autogrill for a quick bite. Interesting to see the SuperChargers are CCS. We are so used to NACS. Très cool.

    Just ordered the CCS-1 adapter on the Canadian Tesla website

    Part 1 completed. The internal retrofit bit is still not available until end-of-year but I am holding onto this adapter as I suspect they have been like the "odd unicorn". Stay tuned, peeps.

    CCS-1 Retrofit availability

    I feel like this has been beaten like the proverbially dirty rug. It’s great and all that the NACS adoption is going full steam ahead, but there seems to be no ETA in sight for when this will ever be available. I knew I should’ve jumped on this grenade when I had the chance. CHAdeMO has been so...

    Yeti cup to fit the Model 3 cup holder

    My claim with the City of Toronto - some thoughts

    As some recall, I went over a waste pipe in early July and damaged the Roger black plate, so I filed a claim. The adjuster and I communicated over the phone and by email. I was notified of the contractor and given their details. As you would imagine, this company has denied all responsibility...

    Can someone explain why we can’t get our software updates OTR if we already pay for premium connectivity?

    So here’s the thing. I pay my month stipend to premium connectivity. I guarantee you that my movie and show streaming from Plex®, Disney®, Netflix® and Prime®, not to mention my Apple® music, suck up more bandwidth than any payload from a software download. So why not just include it we pay for...

    New Flo® chargers in our building

    Our building is quite old. It was built in 1956. Just because it‘s old doesn’t mean that you can “teach an old dog, new tricks”. The property management company are quite forward thinkers. The new chargers got installed this week and should be commissioned for this Monday. They are L2 on 40 amp...

    Just drive it and enjoy it...

    I've come to the foregone conclusion, that fretting over price changes, up or down, as well as free or paid SuperCharger miles, are not north the time in my head. That sort of "thing", may live in my thoughts, and not "pay rent". Better to evict those them, and just enjoy the ride. My Tuesday...

    Anyone have call drops when in reverse?

    I posted this before and had zero responses, so maybe this might work, if asked differently? I'm on 2023.6.8 and using an iPhone 14 Pro Max with iOS 16.4 so everything is up-to-date, but that seems to make no difference. I have had this issue since getting my car (2021 Mr LRAWD DM) in September...

    Nikola is going in for a service check on the reverse/phone kill issue again

    For those of you familiar with this issue, my phone calls turn into pops, clicks and beeps, whenever I'm reversing out of a spot. the great mobile tech replaced my amp a few weeks ago, and that resolved the poor quality sound (on the far side) while in drive mode. For the record, my 2021 LRAWD...

    Did anyone in Montreal, lose connectivity with their car today?

    Most of the day, I could not connect to my car, despite great reception. We’re staying at the Holiday Inn, Laval across from the Carrefour Laval and nothing! finally I was able to “see” my car on the app, just about an hour ago. I suspect that Tesla is continuing to experience connectivity...

    Rogers is the carrier for Tesla Canada?

    My LTE was up and down like a toilet seat today. I popped into the service centre on Railside to see if they could help. The advisor let me know that this was an issue with most cars as Rogers was down. Man, I so hate Rogers as a company in general. They are too, too big and with the M&A of Shaw...

    I'm off to "Pet-aWawa" - don’t get me started 🤣

    Off to Petawawa for the weekend, to celebrate a mate's wedding party over the weekend. ABRP suggest that I stop in Bancroft, for a short stop to top up. I intend to leave Toronto with a 80 or 90% SoC. Oddly, no SuperChargers up there and my car, while able to be upgraded to CCS, is waiting for...

    2023.6.8 Zoom and the MCU

    Welp, I was all excited about doing my Zoom® calls in the car, for Schlitz & Guinness. Dang. Zoom® would need a MCU3 and my late year 2021 has an MCU2. I get the GPU thing, but if we can stream movies/shows and play games, I think it should handle it. Oh smell, maybe the "Titan of Twits" might...

    BT re-occurring problem

    About the same time last year, almost 6 most after getting my M3LRAWD, I started to get complaints from people when I used my iPhone 12 Pro, through BT. I also experienced a bit of weirdness whenever I was in reverse. The music system would click and pop and occasionally the cameras would blink...

    Has anyone figured out how to force WiFi to stay on?

    As the title implies. I think there used to be a time when you could toggle a setting to keep WiFi on, even while driving. the later software updates, seem to have made this an "illusion". Now whenever I get into my building's garage, I need to remember to go to the car screen, then tap the LTE...

    NSWD - New Steering Wheel Day (replacement)

    A cool thing about the Gen 3 Wall connector

    Interesting article in Toronto Star - Claiming FSD crashes higher than reported

    This article appeared in this morning's Toronto Star. While I LOVE my Tesla, I never felt that that FSD was entirely ready for "prime time". Somehow, I also must believe that many crashes could be attributed to drive non-attentiveness.
