Free to a good home. I bought an inflatable bed for a 6 seat Model X two years ago. I traded in for a 5-seater a few months later. It cost $99 CAD on Amazon but it's such a niche item. The bed is very unique and not useful for anything but the 6 seat Model X. I know it will be hard to sell...

Are any other Model X owners experiencing a grinding noise under acceleration? This 2019 Model X is my second (previous was a 2016) and I am familiar with the long time shudder/clunking noise during acceleration. This is definitively not that sound. Definitely a grinding and only while the...

Hello, I suspect my Model X dash cam may be destroying USB drives in short order. I started with a MicroSD card in a mini-USB reader. It was something I had, was compact, and thought it would perform better than a USB stick. It worked for... let's say two weeks before the webcam icon would...

I am selling a set of brand new tires for a Model X. They have never been used with manufacture stickers still attached. I had a 2016 Model X that needed new tires. I placed the order and eagerly awaited their arrival. Suddenly, Elon announces the return of unlimited supercharging on inventory...

Hello, Has anyone gotten information on how we submit our pictures that will be sent to space? Back in February 2019, my Tesla app 'loot box" said the photos needed to be uploaded by Feb 28. It did not provide any other information. I emailed Tesla directly and got (what I assume is) a form...

I finally had time to finish the video of my off-road experience from Wyoming. I hope you enjoy and maybe pick up some useful info.

Hello, Does anyone know of an online calculator that can work out the positive benefits of miles driven in an EV? Specifically... I am putting together a business proposal and being 'green' is important to the client. I've driven a Tesla as my primary vehicle for 4 years now. That includes...

Hello All, I was charging last night at a hotel with a proper Tesla wall connector (not J1772). I confirmed a full charge via the app this morning. However, I noticed something odd in that the app provided the option to "Open Charge Port". I wondered how I could open the port when I was...

Hello all, I will chronicle my experience in case it helps someone in the future. I am planning a road trip from Toronto Canada, to Casper Wyoming. I will spend a week there for the Adventure Racing World Championships. Much of that will be on dirt roads (or worse) in an area already devoid of...

I thought I'd provide a summary of my recent experience to anyone considering using the valet service at Toronto's Pearson Airport. (Note: This is not for Park n' Fly) First, you can reserve a spot at any official Greater Toronto Airport Authority parking lot online through the GTAA.com. The...

How far off road has anyone taken their Model X ? I'd enjoy seeing pictures or reading tips. I had to get creative with -25C temps (-13F) and a route with no Superchargers. To shave distance, I ended up on a logging road. Although not truly 'off roading', it was unmaintained with ruts and long...

So, I decided to go completely green with naturally sourced and sustainable floor mats. What do you think? ... just kidding. I had to haul around some banquet centerpieces.

The navigation / trip planning in my new Model X is all kinds of stupid. I did not have this issue in the Model S I traded. I assume navigation directions come online which means others may have similar problems (versus it being an isolated problem with my car). Is it firmware? Is it a problem...

10 days ago, I decided to trade in my Model S for a Model X. It was a rushed decision because I got a call on a Friday saying I had "substantial positive equity" in the car, included Supercharging was ending, and prices were going up by 3% on Monday due to exchange rates. Despite the phone call...

I will be trading my Model S for an X in the next week or so. I thought I could use the same rims and tires but no dice. So, I have a used set of 19-inch Model S rims with original factory Pirelli Sotto Zero winter tires. They've been used for two winters and I had them put on my car two weeks...

It's an odd part but maybe someone can use them before I junk them. Pick up in Toronto is welcome. Tesla Model S parts: Rear Seat Release Covers

Hello, Just curious if if this is a sign of a potential problem. I went out to the car on a mild Toronto December morning (just at freezing) because my app wouldn't connect. The car had completely shut down despite being plugged in. Power door locks opened but both displays were dark. Dash...

This guy reprogrammed an Amazon Dash button to set his preferred temp in the car. Certainly not a useful tip for most but, kinda almost interesting. Amazon dash button automation silliness. - YouTube

(EDITED: I DIDNT RSVP IN TIME AND WONT BE GOING. BOOOOO) A question to people who have attended previous Tesla launches. I got an invite to the Model X launch. I am actually contemplating flying from Toronto (with free air miles) and returning early the following morning. I wouldn't even get...

I have a business trip from Toronto to Boston and will stop for hiking in the White Mountains on my return through New Hampshire over the Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend. Most apps (especially Tesla's in car navigation) route me through Montreal. I am concerned about stopping when there are...

Hello All, I ordered the Chademo adapter and I just tried to pick it up at the Toronto Lawrence location. 1) The guy asked if I understood it would still be slow because I don't have dual chargers. 2) I have to wait a month before they can book the software update / activation. My...

My steering wheel gets really stiff at about 100km (60mph) and above. It makes fine tuning really difficult and I kinda zig zag from line to line. Adjusting the steering sensitivity has no effect (comfort/standard/sport). I did discover that wiggling the wheel (a few degrees back and forth...

I recently completed a 3,000km (1,800 mile) business road trip from Toronto, through Chicago to northern Wisconsin in consistently -25C (-10F) temps. I plan to do a full write up of the adventure but for now… I stayed at the Courtyard Marriott in Wausau Wisconsin with a final appointment 100km...

As I embark on my -20C drive from Woodstock Ontario to Maumee Ohio, I am prepared to drive without heat to cover the distance. I have a hat, gloves and scarf but, it occurs to me jackets are counter productive. They only open from the front while insulating your back from the efficient seat...

As a photographer and video guy, preparing equipment for air travel adds many hours in packing, checking bags and clearing customs. I rationalized the purchase of the Tesla by saying I'd use it for any location within a days drive. So, I will be driving to a multi-day, multi-location shoot...

I went to my girlfriend's family for Christmas Eve dinner. It is a large group with about 25 guests. I wound up giving 5 test drives throughout the night with all seats taken. One of the kids even got a call from their friend down the street asking if that was a Tesla in the driveway. It's a...

I was lucky enough to snag a Model S 85 the moment Tesla increased their reductions on demos. When you are offered $27,000 off a car, you are obligated to say yes, right? I dove into the deep end on my first day of ownership with a trip to my cottage 250km away in the snow. Range anxiety...
