Thanks. That's a much better colour match than the Tesla kit. Craziness.

I'll try to remember to report back, but I don't intend to use it until after the winter season, and just get all the nicks repaired at once.

Precisely. It doesn't match. It boggles the mind how they sell it as pearl white. I just received my touch up direct kit but I haven't had a chance to test the match on it yet.

Precisely. Thanks for the thread link! Seems that general consensus is that the difference between 235 and 245 is so minimal as to basically not matter.

Am I correct that the X-ice Xi3 only come in 245/40/R19? The OEM 19s are 235/40/R19. Would the 245 Xi3s fit without any issues? Looks like the new Michelin X-Ice Snow are the upgrade from the Xi3 and they come in 235. I doubt anyone has tested them out yet (aside from press reviewers) but one...

I also bought the touch up direct kit for pearl white, so I'm interested in the responses to this as well (although my marks are about 1/8th the size of yours. Honestly, I'll probably pay the local detail shop to do it properly since I'd probably mess it up...

TARS showing off his new wheels at the cottage this weekend.

I would say definitely black if you've got black chrome delete on a pearl white car.

TARS showing off his new wheels at the cottage this weekend.

16,000km per year is pretty decent, but a 48-month term isn't, nor is $5000+ down. I'd like to see a 36-month term like they have in the US, and less of a required down-payment.

Looks great! Are the mirror caps vinyl-wrapped or did you put caps on them?

Any particular reason you're keeping that Mazda license plate holder on there? :-)

I bought the Nomad and now my TeslaCam doesn't work when using the splitters that came with. I'm using the Samsung SSD, and have tried reformatting it and using each of the two splitters. Any suggestions? Is the only option to also get the Jeda hub?

Indeed. Unfortunately, the Tesla paint kit for pearl white is garbage and doesn't even come close to matching, so Paul wasn't able to fix my rock chip (at least not until I find a better paint match). On the bright side, the guy is a saint and didn't charge me for the attempt. That's how you...

My car is at Hooked on Detailing right now getting a rock chip fixed, so they are definitely open! Keep trying to get through. They had 6 cars packed into their bay this morning, so they are very busy.

Oh, too bad. Mine's in the mail now; hope I have better luck...

What about the Tesla tire repair kit?

There's a ranger/mobile tech that services Atlantic Canada. But we're definitely taking a bit of a risk being owners this far from a service centre. I've had my car since March and haven't had any problems yet (aside from a nail in my tire, which was just fixed by a local EV mechanic).

I'm in Halifax. Car was shipped to Quebec City and then put on a third-party truck to my house. I was out of town when the delivery happened, so I routed them to a friend's place who did a quick check of the car, got the keycards, and that was it. The delivery drivers don't really know much -...

Hi all - about to start shopping for winter tires (figure I'll get a slightly better price on them now, versus closer to winter, but maybe not). From reading through the forum, I am seeing that either the Michelin X-Ice 3 or Nokian Hakka R3 might be my best choice. I am confused about the sizing...

I think the recommended is 42psi now? I'm sure yours were lower than that though, if you were getting warnings.

Absolutely. You may want to check how much it will cost to ship to me though - not sure if you noticed I'm in Canada. If you want, I can DM you my postal code and you can get a shipping quote from USPS?

Hey - I'd be interested in this if you're getting to the point where you're considering shipping. Understood if you're not interested in going down the road yet. I was planning on getting an IKON spoiler and wrapping it to match chrome delete, so this would be a perfect solution.

I applied two coats of CQuartz Leather about 4 days ago to my white seats. Looks great so far, no discolouration or issues whatsoever. I've read that the warning to not use on white interiors was from when the kit included orange microfibre applications cloths, which potentially transferred some...

Mine had the mudflaps installed on the front, and the other set was in the trunk under the lift panel.

Love that wrap colour! I honestly think that powder coating those stock 19"s black to match the trim would look best. Bronze has never looked good, but my opinion only!

Took delivery on Friday and the wind noise at speeds over 100km/h is my only complaint, and it's not a major one. I listen to my music loud, so that basically solves the problem! I will maybe look at some of the rubber/sponge solutions eventually. I'm on the 19" inch wheels and I don't find the...

Took delivery today! Ordered LR AWD white/white with 19" wheels on January 19th. Delivery to Halifax. Haven't noticed any glaring issues but will go over it more closely tomorrow before the "24 hours" is up. The steering wheel is maybe sliiiiiiightly to the left, but very minor if so, and I'm...

You'd have to wait a year though! They just announced that they're not starting production on 7-seats configs until 2021.

My French is pretty decent; hopefully it'll be OK! I work from home, so I'm not too worried about having enough notice, thankfully. The road up to my apartment is definitely tight. I think we'll need to arrange an alternate location unless the driver can squeeze into the visitor parking lot at...

Good luck timing that! They notified me yesterday, which is 6 days before the timeframe when they said delivery would be. They gave me a 3-day window in which the delivery driver would drop the car off, and couldn't even guarantee that he would call beforehand to let me know he was on his way...

Was told by Tesla this morning that my delivery is scheduled for March 2-4 - precisely when I told them I would be out of town! :-( I've advised them to reschedule, so who knows when I'll get bumped to! Ordered January 19, home delivery in Halifax.

That looks fantastic! Is the chrome delete a satin grey as well, or black?

That looks fantastic! Precisely what I intend to do with my 3 when it arrives shortly (although, I might do black powder coating).

Right, that makes sense. I'm happy to piggyback off of that for delivery here in NS!

Thanks! Yeah, I anticipate having to wait a while longer. I expect they wait until they have a few cars to ship this way, not just one. You should have gone to Toronto for pickup! :(

Just received my purchase agreement from Tesla, along with VIN. Ordered January 18, exactly one month ago. I wonder if this means the car is already at the Quebec City location and ready to be put on a truck for delivery... Edit: confirmed that the car is in QC awaiting transfer to delivery...

That's quick! Hopefully that bodes well for the rest of us waiting. Are you trading in a car to Tesla? Otherwise I'd fly up to Toronto and drive back. They won't deliver to the Ottawa service centre?

That looks quite good! I've seen other steering wheel wraps where the pieces surrounding the thumbwheels are wrapped, and I find they look really odd. Yours is understated and clean. Self install?

Are you going to powder coat the wheels to match the chrome delete? This is my reference pic for a blue with chrome delete. I think it would look even better with matching wheels.

Was approved for 3.55% for 72 months, RBC.

I ordered on January 19th. Web site said 5-8 weeks, my advisor said more like 10-14 weeks. Received the text on the 24th saying my estimate is now 3-9 weeks. So who knows?? I'm in no rush, and would prefer to take delivery at end of March when winter has passed anyway. LR AWD white/white 19"

This is a situation I will be dealing with too. I live in a building with underground parking, and that's where the EV chargers are and where I will be parking my car. Wifi doesn't reach there, and the LTE signal is poor - I can sometimes get one bar on my phone. For updates, I guess I'll just...

Anyone have a link to the ABS ones? Is it the BMZX ones on Amazon?

This photo convinced me to go with white/white for the LR AWD I just ordered yesterday. I plan to basically copy this!

Just ordered a white interior Model 3, and I'm wondering if there's any consensus on the best centre console wrap (that comes in white). Or, are they all basically the same or similar? Nikola Pro, Kenriko, RPM Tesla, EV Wraps???

Nice! I'm the opposite - I hate the natural wood grain dash!

Thanks! Did you get white interior too? I'm actually hoping I don't get delivery until late March, early April. Trying to avoid winter...

Joined the family! Now the wait begins...
