    Canada Model 3 price reduce with $5000 rebate price

    Can I get the federal iZEV incentive rebate for my M3 LR (which qualifies) retroactively? I took delivery in May 2022 (which qualifies, as far as I understood), but I didn't know anything about this - until now.

    Better Tires than stock Hankook

    My 2022 M3LR came with the Hankook Kinergy GT tires. Are they any good? I find them quite noisy on the road... Are there any significantly better (18") All-Season tires - better grip/less noise?

    OMG - Le Sommet de Neiges - I have reservation at the exact same hotel!! :) No overnight destination charging option though, correct?

    Toronto to Mont Tremblant trip

    Interesting - I see that the recommended route is through Perth, so on Highway 7 (which is mostly one lane per direction). I had assumed that 401 to Brockville, then 416->417 is the better route (a little longer but at higher speed). Probably a matter of traffic? Also a slower speed favours EV...

    Toronto to Mont Tremblant trip

    Thank you all for the advice. Such a wonderful community we have here on this forum! I think I’ll have to make two stops at least though (I personally need those breaks) and since I am coming from Burlington (GTA) I think those can be Bellevile (I know, only 150kW) and probably Nepean Ottawa...

    About those public chargers - you need the adapter that came with the mobile charger, right? And how fast are those?

    Toronto to Mont Tremblant trip

    Has anybody done the Toronto (area) to Mont Tremblant trip recently during summer? This is will be my first trip in my brand new new M3LR, I am also new to EV, so I am looking for tips, things to avoid, advice, etc What is the supercharger situation? On paper it looks good (there are quite a...

    Speed Bump Hit

    yes, it drives fine, no noises, charges okay. I gotta find a way to look underneath myself...

    Speed Bump Hit

    should I go to Tesla or a local auto shop would suffice?

    Speed Bump Hit

    Today I drove my M3LR over a speed bump (under 10 MPH, possibly 5)) and heard a bang, I think I hit something underneath the car. Should I be worried? Should I investigate?

    Software update in Canada

    I have seen videos where the user lowered the current below 12 Amps and it showed 7, 6…down to 3 km range per hour. I can’t seem to be able to display that (but I can, obviously lower the charging current). Could my software version be that old? 2022.11.

    Sorry. Car’s screen.

    Canadian Model 3 delivery estimates for new orders are already into June.

    I took delivery yesterday for my M3 LR. Everything okay. But it seems that the software version is old (2022.11...) and, while I have been on Wifi for a while, a newer version hasn't shown. Unless there are different versions for Canada versus US?

    Software update in Canada

    I just took delivery yesterday of a Model 3 and trying to update the software. It is at version 2022.11...and there is no way I found to update it. Connected to Wifi but the "update available" icon didn't appear on the screen (since yesterday). Do these updates take some time until they show up...

    M3 LR Mud Flaps

    Why are those so bad? Less protection against debris? Do they fall off? How important are the rear ones (should I bother to install?)

    M3 LR Mud Flaps

    I took delivery today of a Long Range Model 3. It came with front mud flaps. I didn't know it would so I had already purchased from Amazon a set of 4 BASENOR flaps. I don't know what to do now. For the front, are the Basenor better than the origial ones? Should I replace them (time consuming) or...

    It was my turn to graduate today. I picked up the car from the indoor delivery room, it was a blast! Matrix headlights, charger, updated processor; zero defects. Well done Tesla!! :) vin 241xxx

    I got the phone call - I am picking up this Friday the 13th at the Oakville location.

    in Canada, the VIN only appears in the app once you have scheduled the pick up. SA told me.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    "We are experiencing logistic delays right now, that is the reason why we are unable to get you scheduled in for delivery just yet. We will reach out to Oakville to get an update." Will see if he finds anything out today - I am not particularly hopeful at the moment though...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    The part with grandchildren being told stories was really unnecessary. The rest of what you said is valid, in my opinion. Wonder if it's a matter of just shipping them to the Service Centres and waaaaiting for them to be installed, or it is more severe issue, with parts yet to having to arrive...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Looking at that photo with cars having a tape patch. The patches don't seem to cover the charging ports. So either it isn't about cars missing parts, or the "missing parts cars" are actually cars missing not the charging port itself but some other (internal) component, and the tape is there only...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Is anybody here in the situation of having passed the “rolling EDD window” phase (4-days window, everyday being pushed by a day, due to missing charge port part)? As in having now scheduled delivery?

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    that's terrible news for us (Oakville delivery). I have sold my (previous car) almost 2 weeks ago, based on the given VIN and EDD. Now it looks like there will be an unspecified additional wait time...Ahh!!

    Auto Insurance in Ontario

    Thanks for the info. I know that it depends on a number of factors, but some companies appreciate Tesla's safety more than others. I have been with All State for my Acura (sold now) but they quoted me much higher for Model 3! From $119/month (for my previous Acura car) to $173 (Tesla). Same...

    With or without the bandage over the charging port, do you know?

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Don’t worry. You haven’t lost the vin, it’s just that you cannot see it in the source. Until you get the new trade in offer, based on updated odometer, and accept it! Maybe call Tesla to expedite the receiving of the offer?

    Not in the Canadian app. It only shows after you schedule the pick up day and time.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I had a four week window May 22 - June 19. Then one night I received an email from Tesla asking me to complete the payment or something like that. I immediately checked and 2 things happened simultaneously. I got a two weeks window mid May and VIN in source code. Edit: before that I used to...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Same here. SA are not able to tell me what is the status. They had said that it was expected to land in Oakville yesterday. But then they retracted that as being erroneous. For the people desperately waiting for a VIN: yes, this is a milestone, but after that the craziness is far from over...

    apparently, yes. Private banks, right? There is a lot of inflation - they will all increase a lot more

    Financing Tesla vehicles in Canada

    we are talking about Tesla financing rates, right? They do go up slowly (as in it could have been worse) - like 0.3 to 0.5 increase every month.

    yes, I have noticed that they go up every month, usually at the very end of each month.
