    Turo expands in Canada

    TL;DR Turo is now operates in Nova Scotia For a while as a Tesla owner, I enjoyed renting my car out on Turo. The money was decent, but more importantly I was helping the mission by giving people who may not otherwise have the chance to take an extended test drive in an EV to do so. My goal was...

    Volkswagen sponsorship of Toronto Santa Claus Parade

    I was interested to see every parade float today was hauled by a Volkswagen SUV. VW has every right to try to rebuild their image through community partnerships but it would be great to see such things trend toward carbon neutrality. It would be a great showcase of the utility of the Model X...

    Toronto in the dark, 2018-01-08

    A major power outage struck the east end around 5:50am and seems to have become pretty widespread. I believe the outage extends to Eglinton East and not to Lawrence so the Supercharger is probably not affected. Toronto Hydro on Twitter I'm only 30% charged but have nowhere to go really...

    Use L2 charger instead of Supercharger when battery is cold with very low SoC

    I had a very frustrating charging experience on Sunday as part of my journey back to Toronto from Atlantic Canada. After L2 charging in Edmundston for 90 minutes, we limped toward the Rivière du Loup Supercharger. For a stretch of highway that we should have cruised at 110km/h, our average...

    PSA... this Canadian Tire can't lift Teslas

    Canadian Tire is a laggard when it comes to EV adoption. I get that EV's are still relatively niche, but they could at least make some effort to keep up. It shouldn't take a marketing genius to make the connection between EVs and higher disposable incomes. I digress. Anyway... despite my own...

    82% of the CPO cars for sale by Tesla in the US and Canada are inventory cars, and almost all have Auto Pilot. This is quite a change from a week ago, when the vast majority were true pre-owned.

    Suggestion: split "Marketplace: Tesla for Sale" by country

    Tesla has blocked the import of used Model S's into Canada for some reason. Don't get me started on the motivations... I think they are likely frivolous. Anyway, it means that Canadians hoping to buy a used Model S only really have one option, buy a Canadian one. There have been some Canadian...
