    Western Canada Superchargers

    I haven't seen a power outlet in my trunk. Just where is it i ask? I do wish there was a 110 V outlet in the car though.

    Tesla Quietly Discontinues the 85 kWh Battery Option in Canada

    I'll wait for the 105 or 110 kw battery which will be released shortly. I think its foolish to buy a 90 now when the bigger battery announcement is only weeks away!

    Q1 Model X Sales will be lousy!

    It is the opinion of this poster that the Model X is ugly and is basically an obese Model S. Ugh! Everyone is entitled to my opinion. Not a head turner for sure, like my Model S is.

    Fire reported at fremont plant

    But there's not supposed to be archaic fire and smoke there. Shouldn't it have been a battery only fire? LOL!

    Autopilot and hand held cell phone driving issues

    - - - Updated - - - I guess it comes down to who is responsible for the car's operation and essentially, the person in the drivers seat is. So, no more speculation on what if. No sympathetic judge in his/her right mind will let this slide through the justice system. I just don't see it happening.

    New Personalized Plate :)

    Very nice. Are you able to go on the HOV lanes with it?

    Eastern Canada Superchargers

    I believe so. Heck, if Tesla put a SC in Madoc, I would use this route thru Hwy 7 to even drive from Toronto to Montreal via Ottawa as it is so picturesque even in Winter compared to the 401. Madoc, here we come.

    Eastern Canada Superchargers

    I see absolutely no need for a Supercharger between Montreal and Ottawa since Ottawa will be getting a service Centre this year as well as some SC's, presumably. It is more important to have the chargers between Ottawa and Toronto on Hwy 7.

    Autopilot and hand held cell phone driving issues

    The question remains, however, should you be on the phone holding it while car is in Autopilot, and you get pulled over by the police, would you still be charged for driving while holding a hand held phone? I think this would be an interesting case in court as essentially, you were not driving...

    Tesla Quietly Discontinues the 85 kWh Battery Option in Canada

    I believe Tesla will introduce a 105 or 110 kW pack in March. i don't understand why some people traded in their 85,s for a 90. No doubt owners will trade in their 90's for the new pack. Not worth it for most of us though!

    Autopilot and hand held cell phone driving issues

    Here's an interesting scenario, what if you are in Autopilot and you are talking on the phone hand held when a nice police officer pulls you over? Would you be charged with driving while talking on the phone? Technically you shouldn't because you were not the driver. You are a passenger while...

    Eastern Canada Superchargers

    Kanata would be the best, say at the Brookstreet Hotel. They seem to have a lot of Tesla shows there as well. - - - Updated - - - Sault St. Marie and Elliot Lake would also be nice as it would round out the trip between northern Michigan, Wisconsin and Northern Ontario.

    Eastern Canada Superchargers

    Ottawa is too close to Montreal. The fewer SC's in actual cities also has a benefit of owners not using them locally instead of topping off at home. Perhaps all SC's should be removed from city cores and all should be placed in the middle of nowhere between cities, as was the original plan. I...

    Eastern Canada Superchargers

    There should be more emphasis on the West island routes. Nothing between Ferrier and Cornwall. There should be a spot say in Vaudreuil around St. Charles and the 40, say at the St. Hubert's restaurant, as this is a good junction between the 40 (to Montreal), 540 (To Toronto) and the 417 to...

    If you have out of province green plates, just plead innocent and say "I didn't know, sorry Ossifer! Your eyes seem to be a little glazed, have you been eating too many donuts?" Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

    Eastern Canada Superchargers

    It was nice meeting and chatting with you yesterday in the Montreal SC Doug. I was actually the first car that pulled in, then you, then the others. Crazy place. The talk about some chargers going in next door at the Orange Julep site would be very nice and welcome indeed.

    Eastern Canada Superchargers

    The Port Hope SC is a godsend. I'm now able to drive Toronto to Montreal at regular speeds, 130 kp/h, like a regular car, with stops at Kingston and Cornwall. Takes much less time then before. Half hour charging at each SC is great for a quick bite and washroom break. I can now skip the stupidly...

    Why did the Tesla enjoy the Orange Fruit punch? It likes "Juice". I know, pretty bad.

    Trips to Florida from Richmond Hill Ontario

    Personally, California is a much more interesting destination from Toronto than Florida. Mind you, the trip down to Florida and area is very scenic on the I-75 through Ohio, Tennessee, Kentucky and Alabama. Taking I-95 is very mundane and expensive as one has to pay tolls Albany on down past...

    Good Tesla joke!

    A little off target perhaps but here it is. Did you hear about the Tesla Model S owner who wanted to drive across the border for some nefarious reason when he was suddenly asked by the border customs official the purpose of his trip? He said he was just going over the border to fill up with...

    Anyone in Canada have Homelink functionality in their app?

    My hone link function works but I might disable it. Not always do I want to drive into the garage when returning home. Also, I have to quickly disengage the alarm as door opens. A pain! i wish they would update something useful such as bigger numbers on the phone dialing screen so we can dial...

    Summon differences in Canada (is now available)

    Ain't gonna happen folks. The Canadian Gov't will NOT allow this. Period Far too dangerous in the public eye.

    Somewhere in Quebec for sure such as Riviere du Loup! Have you folks forgotten that Eastern Canada also includes Quebec? There's more to Eastern Canada than Ontario!

    Summon differences in Canada (is now available)

    Yes but to what degree? In owner's driveways? I doubt it will ever be permitted in parking lots where the car could hit someone. Would you really trust it to drive from the far end of the parking lot to where you are at the entrance? I do not know the situation in the States and maybe it is...

    Eastern Canada Superchargers

    The Tesla site has the Port Hope Restrooms listed as Harvey's, Tim Horton's, Subway and Swiss Chalet. Interesting names for washrooms. They also have restaurants listed with the same names. There is also a "Loding" category at a Comfort Inn. LOL! I really get the impression Tesla is putting...

    Cell phone holder: What a GREAT idea !!!

    Except there is no where to plug it in.

    I don't believe the "Summon" feature will ever be allowed anywhere, at least for 20 years. Obviously it is too dangerous and unpredictable.

    Someone has an S85 2013 for $3900.00 posted on the TMC site

    Could this be real or a joke? He says it has cloth seats but so what? If he's expecting to sell the seats for that, he could be in for a surprise when the buyer is expecting the whole car. The ad says 2013 Model S85. 2013 Model S 85$3,900.00 Buy Now + Add To WishlistPayment Returns...

    Superchargers on the BC Ferries fleet would be a great idea!

    After reading the various replies to my Thread, I too think it would be impractical. On the other hand, a charger of sorts would be handy at the terminals, to be used while waiting for the ferry. I think the HPWC would be best. A SC would be nice but perhaps overkill. I think we will see...

    Will I make it? -23 celsius & 320 km

    You could always move to somewhere warm? LOL! Or move to the West or Ontario where there are lots of SC's? LOL!
  35. J

    Eastern Canada Superchargers

    Yes, please, everyone! Please use only destination charging in Montreal so the SC's there will be free for my exclusive use. Thank you! LOL!

    What smart watch to get to work with Tesla...and Blackberry user...

    Simple, get an iPhone and Apple Watch! Nothing wrong with Apple products plus they will still be here in five years unlike Blackberry. Plus, Apple has the best customer service, period! Similar to Tesla's.

    OPEC bashes prospects for electric cars

    OPEC says oil based fuel will still be mainstream in 25 years! Have to take this with a grain of salt coming from oil induced OPEC! Coming from OPEC, what do you expect? They are out of touch with reality if you ask me and I think the exact opposite will happen in 25 years! Warning: If you are...

    Superchargers on the BC Ferries fleet would be a great idea!

    No, I mean a SuperCharger. A 90 minute voyage would get you 100 percent charged for your travels on the island, and mainland. vancouver at the moment only gas Squamish and Hope so why not charge en route fully?

    Superchargers on the BC Ferries fleet would be a great idea!

    Hey Elon, How about putting a SC on some of the BC Ferries that traverse the straight of Georgia between the mainland and the island? This could be an economical way to, for now, to SC Vancouver Island. I think this would make sense financially as well as feasibly. Could also work on the east...

    Eastern Canada Superchargers

    A sc in the Madoc area would be great as it is about half way between Ottawa and Toronto on the picturesque Hwy 7. The Service Centre and/or SC in Ottawa will hopefully be on the west side such as Kanata as putting it on the east side will make it too close to Montreal. I'm suggesting the west...

    Ontario HOT lane

    I wish the Green plates should only be for electric only vehicles. Hybrids should NOT be allowed to have green plates because they are still gas cars. Another solution to the HOV lanes is to make ALL the lanes HOV or HOT and dedicate just ONE lane to normal traffic. Perhaps this and only this...

    2014 Tesla P85D - Loaded in excellent condition - PRICE REDUCED - No Longer Available

    Why are you selling a P85D with low mileage? I hope it's not to buy the new P90D! That would be ludicrous!

    Looking for Tesla to rent over the holidays while travelling in Australia

    The $150.00 an hour is not a chauffeur service. If is a rental service like what you would get at an airport etc.

    Wanting to rent a Tesla in Sydney, Australia starting the 14th for two weeks

    Wanting to rent a Tesla in Sydney, Australia starting the 14th for two weeks

    Anyone know where i can rent a Tesla for two weeks in Aussie land? There is a place in Auckland NZ but they charge $150.00 an hour. Probably nothing else available but I just thought I would ask if anyone knows of a much better deal.
