I like the older front end a bit better, but definitely like the rear on the new version. Especially the TESLA lettering. Perfect job with that. The wheels are another improvement, most of all the silver 19". Now I'm getting excited to see how the refreshed Model Y will look.

Yes, the display and test drive cars are from Fremont. They've been here long before the cars for sale which are all Shanghai cars.

For a while, all M3s and MYs (like mine), were coming to Canada from Shanghai and the M3s still do. Now all MYs come from Fremont. If Fremont is building Quicksilvers, we might get them after they satisfy U.S. demand.

There are pads and wiring conduits out front for chargers I assume. Inside the building, I noticed what appears to be a Tesla Supercharger transformer. Interesting because there is already a 20 stall Supercharger station on the other side of the mall.

I stopped by the new Tesla center being built at a large shopping mall in Hamilton. Took a few pics so you can see the excellent progress.

I think Elon should host his next launch party at your place.

I have now filed a case against them with PayPal. I waited far longer than most people would because I'm sympathetic to any problems they might have, but no communication whatsoever for over 3 months is beyond ridiculous. It reaches a point where you think your money is simply gone. I will be...

I'm pretty certain I spotted a Quicksilver Model Y in Canada a few hours ago. It was on HWY 401 eastbound near Woodstock Ontario. It had Illinois license plates. It looked really good. I snapped a photo. It might be a while before we get them in Canada unless they start shipping Model Ys from...

Thanks. I used PayPal which took the money from my account, so I'm not sure what I can do. I could wait longer , but what bothers me is the zero communication. I once asked for just a simple reply but got nothing.

I meant to say, I hope this is in the right section.

I hope this is interesting right section. I ordered a Tesmat bed over 3 months ago. They took my money and sent me a tracking number and even a request to "review the product" No product has ever been sent. I emailed them multiple times and left a phone message too. No response whatsoever. I...

I can see why you would be concerned about your kids using Autopilot. I would somewhat feel the same way. We can't control or predict how they would use it. But I'm very confident about it when I'm in the driver's seat.

And why would you not believe it? Maybe not for you, but mine does indeed work perfectly and I truly believe it makes hwy driving much safer. Now FSD, is another story. It was neat, but I didn't like it, don't really trust it. I shut it off halfway through my free trial. Autopilot is all I need.

I don't know how long ago you had this trouble, but I think Tesla has done a lot lately to improve Autopilot. Mine works flawlessly in all conditions. I absolutely love Autopilot and use it whenever I'm on the highway. In the city though, I always do the driving.

I would say every reply here is correct depending on how lucky you got which is a sad reflection of the state of auto repair. My biggest concern would be making sure the lug nuts get retorqued to the proper spec and check all four wheels while you're at it. Many including myself found the nuts...

That could be due to the way they were tied down on the ship. I've seen it before.

Me too. It was fun to try and to entertain non Tesla friends. The FSD and Autopark are too cautious for most drivers nearby. Now I absolutely love Autopilot and always use it on every highway drive. It works always perfectly.

I have a '23 Model Y in Canada. Just got the trial last night and have been using it all day. It works great except for one highway merge lane where it won't signal the lane change. Fun to try , but I won't subscribe to it. I was hoping "Summon" would be included. It appears not to be.

Not Model 3 related, but on the subject of cars from Giga Shanghai to Canada. I've confirmed that for some months now, the Model Y has been shipping from the U.S. instead of Shanghai and unlike the ones sold in the U.S.,they do come to Canada equipped with the LFP battery.

I agree. The cars are produced and on the road, so it's no longer a "project".

My car has been flawless (Shanghai build), except the rear view mirror was never tightened enough. Tesla Service came to my house and fixed it in 3 minutes. Actually, the Service at my GM dealer was always perfect too. I felt sad leaving them to switch to Tesla and still do.

At least your car has a "Bonnet and Boot". All I got was a "Frunk and a Trunk".😉

Yes, it will be in a huge yard in Vaughn where the train drops it off. The truck then picks it up to be dropped at or near the Tesla dealer. It will not be a fast process.

Looking at the delivery photos some have posted here which show Model Ys parked nearby, I can see the checkered flag pattern on the tires which mean Kumho tires. That means MYs must be coming from China again instead of the U.S. Must have been shipped with the M3s.

Guys, don't be worried about the odometer reading on the paperwork. 30 kms or more is just Tesla covering their bases. All car dealers do this from what I've seen. Some list 90 kms. The kms on a new Shanghai Tesla should be about 12. A factory rep said they are 10 kms from the port. The other 2...

That's where I got mine. I bought two pucks and two cheap jacks because I like the idea of jacking one side of the car evenly during tire rotations.

I can assure you that at least on the Model Y from China, the car arrives with the PPF thrown inside. The service center installs it before delivery. Not sure about the Model 3.

I'm not surprised that the Shanghai Model 3 RWD comes with the adapter, carpeted mats and front mud flaps. It probably includes PPF ahead of the rear wheels too. The Shanghai Model Y RWD has all those things plus the full Premium interior and top sound system. Strangely, no fog lamps though...

Sorry I meant to post page 1, not page 45, but I'm sure you'll find your way.

If you think it's worth your time, you might want to look through these postings from when Shanghai Model Ys were shipped. It might give you some clues on the logistics across Canada...

Only the VIN number should be different. The exception will be the Model Y. The U.S. cars still have single pane glass on the rear doors. The cars from China have double glass on all doors.

The people who prepare and deliver our cars will always tell you the Shanghai cars are the good ones. Owners generally call them flawless. That said, the Fremont cars now seem very good. I would take either one.

If you want your VIN or to know where your car is, maybe I can help. I was one of the first to get a Shanghai car, (Model Y) last summer. Your SA has access to your info on their laptop through the "Tesla OS Transport Management System " Your ViN is there. They can tell you if your car is on...

I'm pretty sure the reason is because the ship picks up other brands at various countries, some of which are for the U.S. market and then drops them at a U.S. port before continuing to Canada. That's what usually happens anyway.

It's going to be interesting to see what kind of VINs everyone in Canada gets, China, U.S. or a random mix of both. So far, all the new M3s I've seen sent to dealers for display and test drives are U.S. made. Also, many or possibly all the MYs are now coming from the U.S. despite 6 months of...

Well, I don't know. That will be interesting to see. Is there a way to tell a new SR from an LR at a glance? Do they put "Dual Motor " badges on the new LR?

Tesla Oakville now has another new M3 in their showroom. A blue one. Those test drive and display cars are Fremont cars unlike the Shanghai cars that will be arriving for everyone here.

That's what happened with the MY from Shanghai. The RWD cars were shipped first.

Yes, both would be best and let the buyers decide. Smaller batteries work great in my Southern Ontario urban environment. Maybe not so much in vast rural regions.

I recall when they first started shipping Teslas from China. The west coast BC buyers near the ports obviously got theirs first. Then the Quebec folks were next (probably due to the train). The Ontario crowd was soon after that. Try to enjoy the wait and the tracking. It's one of the most fun...

Those videos were great, thanks for posting them. I especially enjoyed the discussion about smaller batteries. It's been my thought for some time now that range anxiety is a fading problem as numbers of charging stations and EV knowledge increase. I wanted the big Model Y and was thrilled the...

It appears the reason Canada is now getting U.S. built Model Ys is a mystery again. It is now confirmed that Model 3 Highland cars are coming from China. Also, the configurator still shows the same range and performance numbers for the MY RWD cars as before which means they will be Shanghai cars.

So your VIN starts with "LRW"? If so, then guaranteed it's coming from China.

A U.S. slowdown combined with the shipping issues are likely the reasons then. I was told at the dealer that Teslas from China still have much better quality than the U.S. cars. I opened a U.S. MY to see something and the doors seemed a bit clunky to open and close compared to the precision...

Ah yes, the ships. That must be it. We don't want the Houthis blasting shiploads of Teslas.

I used to see a virtual parade of car carriers loaded with MY and M3 cars coming from the U.S. to Ontario via Hwy 401. That suddenly came to a standstill when the Shanghai cars began arriving from west coast shipping docks by rail. Now, I'm seeing the truckloads again. I went to the Tesla...

I hear ya re changing it up.I wanted white and ordered mine that way but, after owning white for 7 years, I changed my order the next day to blue.

Right on. I'm in Hamilton as well. They also had a Model Y in Ultra Red. What a colour. I probably would have chosen it if it was available when I bought mine.

I was at a traffic light near Tesla Oakville today and was very surprised to see a Model 3 Highland. Of course I went there to find out. They just got two of them for test drives, one black and one grey. I didn't drive one but I did sit in one.
