    Supercharger - Gatineau, QC

    I really hope it pays out. the NCR as a whole really needs more superchargers, and definitely one in Gatineau no matter what. Ridiculous that this gap still exists.

    Winter tire shopping - Looking at the NOKIAN TYRES HAKKAPELIITTA R5 EV

    Now that we are approaching the end of the season (ish), thought I'd give a status report on the tires! As a reminder, those tires come with 11/32nds of tread when new. So far, we have put 6,500km (4000mi) on them since mid-November. Front and rears are currently all at 10/32nds, very even...

    Apple Music Bit rate?

    Yes I can still hear, but at least it's generally more to do with the mastering itself than just the track itself. There's enough of a difference for me to justify not wasting time with Spotify. Like you can tell a good mastering vs a bad one but I think some people are overexagerating the...

    2022.44.25

    Not what I meant. I mean having the music BELOW the map in a compact player (like we could do with V11) instead of it being fullscreen or driver side. Particularly to skip songs or scrub. Having to lower or switch the card to something else if they want to take care of that, it's annoying. it's...

    2022.44.25

    Got the update pushed earlier, .25.1 So far so good. Glad to see the cards are back and I can have my various trips / lifetime stats. FINALLY have Apple Music and the implementation IMO is great. Wish it had gap-less playback but anyway. Sounds great too. On par with Bluetooth, better than...

    Apple Music Bit rate?

    For what it’s worth, Apple Music sounds better than Spotify, at least from listening to both back to back. Apple Music vs Bluetooth, I am not as confident. Hi-Res on USB still sounds better, obviously, but I am not hearing the compression as much which is nice. I tested all three with Sultans...

    Winter tire shopping - Looking at the NOKIAN TYRES HAKKAPELIITTA R5 EV

    To add onto this thread, been a month since we got them. Since then, we got them moved onto the Aero wheels (one of the steelies seemed bent (balanced it twice, no change, balanced on aero, all good). For a bit I was afraid the tires were out of rounds, but no, only the rims. That's good news...

    Holiday update? what can we expect?

    Yeah same as above. I am quite happy with V11 and think it has improved considerably since the first release. I took delivery of the car with V11 and only test drove on V10, so I was not as used to it. It is much more flexible depending on what you want where on the UI. I get it though: old...

    Holiday update? what can we expect?

    I think so far that's the most realistic list I've seem. All things we "know" are in the works, but with no actual timeline. Bluetooth controller support should have been done a long time ago when they went to power only in the console. One thing about remote boombox would be great if...

    Oh it's nice to see they have wireless chargers! ;)

    iPhone 14 + wireless charging pad

    Alright, I get what you are trying to do, the short answer is no. You cannot “enhance” a wireless charger performance by adding another interface in between, adding more “obstacles” and not fixing the alignment issue anyway. I’d encourage everyone to look at this teardown of the charging pad...

    Holiday update? what can we expect?

    Is it the year where we FINALLY get Apple Music?! Apparently the icon is there on one of the cars displayed at the Peterson Museum Exhibit... Apple Music coming soon to Tesla vehicles

    Winter tire shopping - Looking at the NOKIAN TYRES HAKKAPELIITTA R5 EV

    Been a week since we mounted the R5 EV on the car. Put around 300km on them already and so far so good. They work very well in the snow, noise is very good for winter tires. They ride harsher than the MXM4, but I might just be too high on the pressure currently (42PSI). Tapped snow, ice, dry or...

    Winter tire shopping - Looking at the NOKIAN TYRES HAKKAPELIITTA R5 EV

    First snow here in Ottawa! Very slushy weather with decent accumulation, particularly slippery. One thing is sure, they have a lot of grip. Their force might be on tapped snow than slush, but overall really happy with them. Noise wise, I'd say somewhat better than the OEM, at least on dry...

    Winter tire shopping - Looking at the NOKIAN TYRES HAKKAPELIITTA R5 EV

    Yeah I was familiar with them also, growing up in Quebec. My dad even has some Hakka on his Chevy Volt! I am used to winter tyres on my previous cars so it’s not really jarring to me anymore, though they seem to be a bit smoother rolling than some others I’ve had. And the crusty old steelies...

    Winter tire shopping - Looking at the NOKIAN TYRES HAKKAPELIITTA R5 EV

    So that story is a bit unclear. Previous owner says they were on a Honda Accord, but the size of tires (which was 235/45/18 98V) is not offered on it. So either they were running a “really weird” size on their car in the winter, or they also bought them from someone else that used it on another...

    Winter tire shopping - Looking at the NOKIAN TYRES HAKKAPELIITTA R5 EV

    Update! Finally installed them this Saturday. Weather is still warm for the weekend but should drop to around 2-3C by Monday. First drive, no complaints at all: not wobbly or "soft feeling". Haven't given it the full accelerator but at close to highway speed, a slight hum that is not any...

    Zoom Conferencing Coming to Tesla

    So many, many things. First of all, Zoom didn't even pay for the music they are using you can hear the background audio of something saying the website where it came from (generally the 30s samples they have to decide if you buy it or not). Second, that's DEFINITELY not the angle of the camera...

    Holiday update? what can we expect?

    Wishlist of mine: Smaller driving visualisation (I have my doubts we are ever seeing that.), maybe that 360 camera view that apparently has been in development forever, or at least whatever topdown they can give us. Automatic wheel heater (AFAIK, it's the only one that is not automatic if you...

    Winter tire shopping - Looking at the NOKIAN TYRES HAKKAPELIITTA R5 EV

    Same experience with ours. we had the X-Ice XI3 (the old ones) for the previous winter and no complaint at all. Really just a bit noisier overall, great winter performance. It'll be really interesting to compare with the R5 EV once we mount them, probably in 2 weeks time, but from what people...

    iPhone 14 + wireless charging pad

    It's not exactly the wattage the issue, it's the coil placement. It seems to be too low on the pad to match for (what used to be) a more normal size for phones, so the alignment is not perfect, therefore causing more heat and inefficiency. I doubt the 5W figure you are giving though, at least...

    Winter tire shopping - Looking at the NOKIAN TYRES HAKKAPELIITTA R5 EV

    Well mine are in the garage right now, waiting for the weather to cool down a bit more before putting them on, but from what you are saying I am having high hopes. Winter driving the TM3 was a blast even on the X-Ice 3 we had last year (got a set from someone in a rush mid-feb as that's when we...

    Winter tire shopping - Looking at the NOKIAN TYRES HAKKAPELIITTA R5 EV

    Picked up ours from Kaltire yesterday. Going to mount them later this month as the weather is way too warm for it to be worthwhile. Will update once we have a sense of how they feel!

    iPhone 14 + wireless charging pad

    @GeoG I asked the service team. Expected behaviour, swapping the unit won’t achieve better results. Mostly seems related to Apple’s coil placement on newer / Max phones VS where it is on the pad itself.

    iPhone 14 + wireless charging pad

    Gonna mention it to my service centre still. I don't expect much but I'll update you!

    iPhone 14 + wireless charging pad

    Partner and I both have 14 Pro Max, coming from a 12 Pro Max, they charge, but slowly. Gets really hot on the charger and often has to interrupt the charge (can see it in the battery info of the phone). Case makes it worse, even a thin TPU one. Still usable as a charger but not expecting most...

    Winter tire shopping - Looking at the NOKIAN TYRES HAKKAPELIITTA R5 EV

    We just put an order in with Kaltire for the R5 EV. Looking forward to hearing some feedback / actual user experience with them. Moving from old Michelin X-Ice to those. Heard so many great things about Nokian, the small price difference for them versus the Michelin was worthwhile.

    2022 Model Y - USB Data Ports - USB-A Glovebox Only

    I did order the part over the counter from Tesla Service and it was sold to me with no issues. Total came to 52 CAD with tax in Ontario, Canada. Process is rather easy to do the swap. Next time I have service work, I might ask to see if they can update the configuration, but since the missing...

    Supercharger - Ottawa, ON - Iris rd

    I mean there is a “supposed to be built for longer than I can remember” one! Seriously though, Eastern Ontario and Outaouais really need more Superchargers, same with DCFC for other EVs.

    Supercharger - Gatineau, QC

    Is it me or all Superchargers that are supposed to be on-site of an IGA have been really slow to progress if not stalled?

    Supercharger - Ottawa, ON - Iris rd

    As much as I want more Superchargers in the Ottawa area, I really want one in the East. Rideau doesn’t count!
