This whole Trump trade war has got me really rethinking my future plans vis a vis Tesla. Don’t get me wrong. I love this company and I put down the deposit on a Model 3, only to half expect not to use it since we bought a Chevy Volt in the meantime to replace our other ice vehicle. But I felt...

Tim Hortons dropped from fourth to 50th in Canadian brand reputation survey, and rightly so. I will stop virtual anywhere than at that particular chain now, except maybe to use their washroom.

Today in the local paper in Owen Sound, Owen Sound Sun Times, there was an article about the new Tesla Superchargers being built here. They cited the SmartCentres spokeswoman, named Sandra Kaiser who stated that SmartCentres had installed Tesla chargers also in Cambridge, Barrie, Sudbury and...

For the last week when I first drive my Model S 85 D the break pedal barely slows the car down. But the second and subsequent times it works normally. The weather has been about minus 5 or 6 degrees centigrade. This morning I was coming up to a traffic light and it turned amber, hit the...

BMW planning modular production of its lines of cars, including ev's and Phev's starting in 2021. Looks like BMW is looking serious. BMW unveils electric-car plans for 2021 and beyond

As demonstrated by @stuckintraffic’s thread there is at least a 4% increase in efficiency with the aero wheels. And for a lot of ev owners, like myself, range is really important. Certainly when I bought my Model S I opted for the longest range available at the time. Given that the aesthetics...

i own a Model S and I love, I mean LOVE the car but for our second vehicle to replace our "ice" car I went for the Volt, despite having put down the deposit on the Model III. Why? 1) After seeing how poor Tesla is about getting things done in the time frame they state I have really huge doubts...

Just went through the process of ordering a GM Volt for my wife. Wanted specific colour and options. What a pain. Found the car we wanted, but without the interior colour scheme we would prefer, after multiple phone calls. Compared to just picking out every exact option that we wanted on the...

My wife drove through a roadwork area and there must have been paint that was not dry. A few days later I put the car through a touchless car wash because of all the dirt on the car. When I got home I noticed yellow paint on one side of the car that had been hidden by the dirt. I did not know...

There is an advertisement on TV for the GMC Denali with active noise cancellation of the engine noise. I have used noise cancellation headphones to walk to work for many years. I really like them. They work best for the medium range frequencies, like the road noise inside my Tesla S. I would...

Has anybody in Canada, with our harsh winters, used an EVSE charger that is Canadian vitrified, that plugged into an outdoor NEMA 14-50 outlet instead of being directly wired into the circuit. If so, which make, and how does it stand up to the elements?

Just wondering. I can't understand why Tesla does not offer, as an option, factory installed front and rear dash cams. They could be totally hidden, with a dedicated usb or SD card slot. Would be an additional revenue generating option and would save the hassle of having to install one...

I test drove a 2016 Chevy Volt that another Model S owner's wife bought (my wife and I are thinking of replacing her ice with one) and the most remarkable thing I noticed was when I started to back up in our driveway was that a car was coming up the road from the left and there was a clear and...

I wonder if anyone out there has an ev convertible? With the quiet of the ev drivetrain I would think it would be great. I had a Miata years ago and really loved the car (not as much as my Model S mind you) but the worst thing about it was the noise.

I try to be a Tesla advocate as much as possible. I know a guy who puts 70 or 80,000 km a year on his vehicle over a regular sales route in Southern Ontario and mentioned the incredible savings on gasoline he could make driving a Model S instead of his BMW. But when he went to the site he found...
