After I had my winter set installed a few months ago, I took my 21" Turbines to a shop to have them refinished and powder coated with the Onyx black that comes with the Model X 22" rims. I even bought the Onyx center caps from Tesla. Now, I'm considering buying a 19" set for the summer tires...

A bit of history: I've had my classic Model S 60 for almost four years now (VIN P33xxx) with a bit more than 100,000km. It was a great ride overall and a very practical one, to say the least (a sedan with 7 seats! It doesn't get better than that) Of course, I've had my share of issues, with some...

My Model S is currently with the service centre in Toronto due to an issue I recently had. They won't be able to work on my car until Tuesday or Wednesday, so I assumed they would leave it in the lot until then (it had around 55%). However, they kept it connected to the supercharger since...

My Model S has developed a very noticeable vibration and a wheel-bearing-noise at 70km/h and above accompanied with some weird behaviour: More noticeable and louder the faster you go It almost disappears when you accelerate The vibration is shaking the entire car that I can hear the interior...

What do you guys think? Elon Musk on Twitter

Yesterday, I went on the US version of the Tesla website and entered an address of a detached house that looks like our average home builder houses in Canada. Nothing fancy, just a 2000sq ft 2-level detached. Something similar to a house I recently bought in Ottawa. I sincerely was hoping to see...

In the last two weeks, I had two projects done on my car, one was to have the black trim painted as I've always wanted to do that, and the other one was to apply a ceramic coating on my car. Three years ago when I bought my Tesla new, I had Opti-Coat Pro applied on my car. It was a good...

2 new CHAdeMO chargers at Promenades Gatineau by Electric Circuit. Map I guess I'm buying an adapter because of the lack of a supercharger in Ottawa. I go there a lot.

Hello, I have a 2 years old S60. So far so good but I noticed my range has degraded all of a sudden significantly 2 months ago (from 316km to 304km); in addition, a range charge would stop at 99% and never reaches 100%. My car has around 62K km (~39k miles) and I reported my concern a few times...

Look at the following pic: I am 5km from Kingston SC with 10km left. All of a sudden, I get this message and another one about the 12v battery being low. Both screens went off right away and I'm on the side of the 401. I'm freezing here. Just called Tesla and waiting...

Hello, I live in Mississauga and Tomorrow I'm leaving the country for 3 weeks. I checked Park'N Fly and they have EV charging service for Valet customers (not the same as YYZ valet); when I called, the lady wasn't very helpful and just wanted to finish the call ASAP. Then I went to check their...

Now that the liberals are in power, do you expect anything in terms of promoting green transportation and/or EV incentives at the federal level? Are we going to be like Norway, ever? OK, I was trying to hide it but i'm SO HAPPY of the change :D. But at the same time, I feel really sad for Mulcair.

Hello, I almost forgot the efficiency when driving in a nice day temperature-wise. Finally, we got a really nice weather today (17°C /62F) and I was driving on the highway at 100km/h (62mph). As far as I remember from last year, driving at this speed should be around the rated line, but I...

Hello, I've started shopping for summer tires for my new 21" rims since 2 weeks ago. I can't find michelin super sport anywhere in Canada. My only option is TireRack but the total becomes ridiculously expensive. I called a few local shops in addition to KalTire without luck. When they call...

I'm not sure if this is mentioned anywhere, but the Canadian Tesla site has some changes. In addition to the fact that the second charger is now standard, the prices are now higher. For example, my car (minus the autopilot hardware of course) is now ~$5,000 more expensive. I remember there was a...

Hello, I just wanted to share my experience with this local business, which I found extremely professional and affordable. I just powder coated my 21" rims that I recently bought used from a member here from Toronto. They had really bad curb rash and the guys at...

Hello everyone! I know this was mentioned in the other thread by our Norwegian friends, but my post is very specific to the chargers used, which might be the source of the issue. My case might not be very unique but it is unique enough to narrow down the source of the issue. I live in Ottawa...

I know this is too early to ask but since I just finished installing the winter tires I thought I would plan early for the summer ones. I have 21" turbine rims that are being powder coated right now to get rid of some curb rash...etc. I called the SC in Toronto to ask about the price for the...

I just checked the design studio and noticed a leasing option through Tesla. Not sure about the details but it's interesting... And if you click the order button, it gives you the following options: Tesla Financing Tesla Leasing Financing through my bank or credit union Cash I wonder if...

Sorry if this was mentioned before but I just noticed a new black headliner on the ordering page. Attached is the new option.

The weather here is getting cold, which reminds me to start shopping for Winter tires. Based on a previous research, I think I'm going with Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2. I checked TireRack and couldn't find them there, but they are recommending Dunlop Maxx. What do you guys think? Is there a new...

Hello, I flew to Toronto a few days ago and stayed there for 2 nights. On my way from Terminal 1 to pickup my rental car, in the 2nd floor tunnel that takes you to the parking area, I saw 4 Teslas charging from the glass that overlooks the chargers. I was amazed and wondered what are the odds...

I live in a Terrace home/condo and every parking spot here has a post with a 110v/12A (NEMA 5-15) receptacle that is connected to each unit's panel. Since I couldn't change much when I got my Tesla, I converted the 5-15 to a 6-20 (240v/20A; very easy conversion). I bought the 5-20 adapter from...

I'm not a fanboy, but these stupid articles are giving a bad impression for people who don't know what the Model S is. http://m.carbuzz.com/Article.aspx?Id=21514 For example, I met a guy at Tim Horton's the other day, and the first thing he said after he saw my car: "don't these cars catch...

Last week I was driving in the Byward market area in Ottawa looking for a parking spot. It's a pretty busy area during the weekend (maybe it was Friday?) and there wasn't a single parking spot available. All of a sudden, I saw a black Tesla leaving his spot and it was a perfect timing for me to...

Before I purchased my Model S, I used to search AutoTrader periodically nationwide and noticed that all of the used Model S are overpriced (close to new or even higher!). 2 days ago I got a notification of a new listing and I found it really reasonable, if not underpriced! I'm not sure if it is...

Hello everyone, I personally haven't been in a Tesla store or a service centre before as I bought my car over the phone from Toronto. So, I thought I would share my experience with you. I'v been owning my Model S for 40 days now and everything has been great so far despite the following minor...

I was on my way with the family for a little trip and stopped at Tim Horton's for some coffee. I opened the trunk and gave my son some juice while sitting in the rear facing seats. On my way, I got a phone call from the Ottawa police asking for my location. Some one called the police reporting...

Hello, Please don't get me wrong because I would be surprised if someone says what I'm going to say. Yes, my car is still new with 2,500km on it and I'm not that kind of a guy who spends his money like crazy. BUT, the tires are worrying me and I think I have to replace them soon. I know how OEM...

I know this was talked about many many times, but the crack on my windshield is different! Hello, I received my Model S 3 weeks ago on April 11th. Everything has been good so far except for something happened an hour ago. I was driving on the highway and all of a sudden I heard something...

Hello Canadians, I sent Hydro Ottawa a message using their contact form. Basically I was suggesting to have a rebate program for EV owners similar to what they are currently offering for new homes for their efficient appliances. I mentioned that electric vehicles are normally charged during...

Hello, While I was randomly reading through this section, I noticed that I'm the only one here with S60. Is there anyone else with an S60? If so, how do you like the range? And what is your average consumption?

Hello, I'm exploring my options. I'm converting a 110v outlet wired with 12/2 gauge (110v/20A) to a 240v. Since the maximum possible current is 20A with this 12 gauge is 20A, my only option is to replace it with NEMA 6-20 (240v/20A). Tesla doesn't sell 6-20 adapter, but it does sell 5-20...

Although I promised I would wait one more year to get a Tesla, I decided to do so now. Believe it or not, the main reason I decided to do so now, is that I had to upgrade to a 7-seater :rolleyes:. Or maybe I was just trying to find an excuse :tongue:. So I placed an order for an inventory new...
