And just who is Doug? Make your own decisions.

Kingston is nearly ready to go. Was there last week.

My handles don't always work right way. I have to walk past the door, stop and sometimes fidget with the handle before it opens. If I want to open the rear door only, same procedure except I have to walk to the front door. Anyone else have this?

Don't forget possible traffic accidents and tie ups on the 401! That could be the deal breaker between just making it and having to pull over because of no juice!

I'm happy to just stick to the free Slacker account in the car!

This seems to be a new trend for getting one's wheels chromed. Anyone done this lately?

That's impressive!

If one drives the speed limit apparently, the rated range is pretty good after all.

Hotel Mortagne is too expensive. Far cheaper to stay in St. Jerome at the BW even though its a bit of a drive.

​Here's hoping the next update includes the more realistic "Projected" range from the Energy graph. D​on't need or want the "Ideal' range. Just a gimmick!

I posted to Supercharge.info since my posts here never seem to appear! - - - Updated - - -

I posted it to supercharge.info! - - - Updated - - - Amen to that! At least it's better than nothing. Took 10 hours for me to drive from Montreal to Toronto yesterday albeit I only had half a charge when I left. The problem with Montreal is that all the Hydro quebec chargers are only 30 amps...

I posted to supercharge.info I posted to Supercharge.info because the moderators seem to block my postings here even though I'm allowed to sign in etc. I also posted some photos but they took those down too! What have i done to deserve this Doug and Nigel and Bonnie?

So, finally, we have liftoff of the Ontario Superchargers on Brookline in Cornwall. They were deposited in the corner lot of the Ramada Inn last Tuesday and yesterday, the workers started digging. I stopped by for an hour to chat with them and they said they should be ready in 3 weeks. They will...

Doug, I recommend never stop in Cobourg as all four times I stippled there, I couldn't charge because a utility company uses the hotel and they always, lazily, park one of their vehicles there instead of 20 feet ahead in the open lot. The front desk wouldn't bother calling the occupant either in...

No, never book with Expedia or Priceline, Hotel etc, as you will not get points for your stay as most hotel chains offer these. All you need to do is call up Expedia or whomever, get a quote and then call your hotel where you want to stay and tell them Expedia or whomever has these rates. 9...

I travel the 401 constantly and we were told the network of Superchargers would be in place before the summer season. Here we are in August and still nothing. I am really upset and disappointed about this debacle and Tesla is to blame for not doing its homework two years ago as far as Zoning...

And i still fail to understand why Tesla didn't do their homework two years ago when the Model S first came out. They should have been all over the Ontario govt re zoning and permits back then instead of now. Everywhere else in the world where they've launched, Superchargers were ready the day...

Why isn't anyone responding to this? - - - Updated - - - With nothing happening on the Canadian Supercharger front except for Squamish, I don't anticipate we will see chargers in Ontario until the Fall of 2015! Thanks Kathleen Wynn. I didn't vote for you by the way.

Totally agree with you. I have the same issue between Hog town and Montreal. I have to spend a 3 hour lunch or dinner at the BW Fireside in Kingston. Not very pleased at all! Total waste of time.

The Sun Country Highway chargers are pretty much useless unless you use them as an overnight charger at a Best Western. You CANNOT compare SCH chargers with the Tesla SC. You are talking apples and oranges. Frankly, my patience is waning very thin on waiting for these damned Superchargers to...

I like my Model S thank you very much. The Model X isn't nearly as nice and doesn't stand out as much.

Surprised that no one is commenting on this. I guess no Canadians read this web site then!

You need a better picture of what the 6-50P plug looks like.

How does one get to the new posts as opposed to these from a year and a half ago? I know, I can go to the end pGE 115 OR WHATEVER AD THEN CLICK BACK each peg. What a pain!

Tesla Supercharger finally in Canada! Canada, finally, has a Supercharger! It is in Squamish between Vancouver and Whistler. B. C. So now the thought of the Canadian government intervening is moot! We are getting them. Quebec has a permit in place near Montreal so that should open up soon. The...

Where are you located?

No, no , no. Install it at the Motel Vaudreuil near the St. Hubert Restaurant. The motel is being sold and hopefully the new owners would welcome the SC nearby. - - - Updated - - -

What about going to the Laurentians north of Montreal? We need one say in St. Sauveur just as Ontarians need one in Barrie!

You will runout of juice going from Cobourg to Pointe Claire. Forget the useless "Range" mode. It is a gimmick just like the "Ideal " range. What you need to rely on is the energy graph display "Projected" range. This is the most accurate. You will find that a full charge under projected...

Two hours is underestimating. Whenever I make that route, I have to charge for 3 hours just to be safe and then i top off in Cornwall for an hour jut so I'll have power when I actually get to Montreal. Make sure you are topped off in Montreal before heading back otherwise it will take about 9...

Well here we are, Mid July 2014 and still nothing!

Here we are in July and still nothing. I'll put a bet that this time next year in 2015 we will still have nothing. Disappointed and pissed off actually!

Why wasn't this panned two years ago?

It hasn't started because it isn't starting. Period. - - - Updated - - - Again, why wasn't this thought of when they moved into the Lawrence St. location? Seems everywhere else on the planet, the SC are going in faster than you can say "Liar", but here in Canada there are no plans for SC...

I'm sure Elon is not impressed. I'm not either. Spoils the look of the car with custom configs such as these. But hey, who am I to complain? If that's what you want, go for it! However, it doesn't look like a Tesla. It wasn't supposed to look like this.

So, here we are July 1st 2014 and not a trace of a Supercharger in Canada!

Why can't i see the last answer to any thread people have put up? I don't want to see a two year old answer when I log on. I know, I know, I can simply go to the last page and click it and then the 2nd to last page etc. What a pain! There must be a better way to instantly view the latest...

A 5 year old thread. Nice!

Hi John, Still no sign of a shovel going in the ground anywhere in Canada for a SC. Again, I personally don't believe we will see them here ever. Do you know where and when we might have another meeting?

Personally, I won't be surprised when the Model X comes out that it won't have the Falcon wing doors. They've probably done test after test in cold climate areas and realize there is no getting over snow and ice falling into the cabin or getting crunched when the doors close above. Too much of a...

They're afraid of getting a "Turkish Bath"!

Yes it is a real shame. It was nice meeting other owners at the Lawrence St. address. Now the only way to meet other Tesla owners is to pretend there is problem with the car so i can make an appointment there. Sad really!

Except it is a mute point if no SC are built. i personally don't think we will see them until next summer. Hello BW Fireside Kingston! Nice to see you again, and again!

Putting foot on brake when parked and then pressing the accelerator pedal will propel the car forward! Pressing foot on brake pedal will stop the car too!

They had charge point chargers at the Sheraton in Montreal and had the nerve to charge me. I will not stay at the Sheraton again nor will I use Chargepoint chargers! (At least in Quebec)!

Only in Quebec do they charge you to use the chargers at all locations. Hydro Quebec is a struggling electrical utility and the only way to make ends meet is to charge EV users for charging.

I think the best method is to keep the untreated car in the garage all the time. No treatment, no money spent on coating! Sounds like the best deal to me! LOL!

Don't waste your time with Cobourg! Twice I was ICED over by utility trucks who won't move!
