So, I happened to drive by today, then checked on the Tesla map - the Etobicoke showroom and service centre is now open! I'm looking forward to not having to make a long trek to get things done.

So, for the past few days the instrument panel has been acting finicky in my 2022 Model X - going out, coming back on, sometimes a reboot (soft/hard and even a complete shutdown) helps, but it's very random when and if it comes back on. At one point, with the sunlight in just the right position...

Anyone else have experience with a really loud groan coming from the active vents under the vehicle? In the past couple of days, it's gotten far worse. It can either be a short (about 5 seconds) or a long (15 seconds). Only happens when initiating start up (pressing the brake pedal). I'll...

Traveling around Ontario this summer, I'm noticing how most Supercharger sites are in full usage more often. Looking at the expansion plans available on Tesla's website it seems as if it's lagging comparatively to the sales of new vehicles. With the impending adoption of the Tesla plug by other...

Yesterday, for no particular reason I had both front screens go black - car has been stable since I've received it last year. I had left the car running the a/c on Dog Mode for about 5 minutes before returning (which I've done many times before). It took roughly 5 minutes to get the car to...

I saw a Facebook post indicating that someone was able to add in an extended warranty through the Tesla app. I'm assuming it's in the US only right now, but has anyone in Canada seen this or is able to access it? Obviously, there's other factors such as whether your vehicle applies, but I'm...

On our way North, taking a pitstop at the Barrie Supercharger. The handles aren't able to be put up in the proper holster, so please take care to loop it as best as possible through the center of the charger. I brushed out as many as I could - gently use it if you encounter snow on the contacts...

Has anyone put in aftermarket seats for the fronts? I find that while the seats aren't terrible, it's missing side bolsters, head adjustment and thigh support. I'm [lightly] mulling over some Recaro Orthoped seats but want to know if anyone else have done this change? Any caveats (particularly...

I'm heading up to Horseshoe Valley this weekend where there's a Flo charger available and may need to use. Anyone have any experience using these? Are they reliable at all? Do you need to have an app and membership or can you simply use a credit card on the unit to be able to charge? I see that...

So, this morning there was a light rain and initially I thought that perhaps the windshield had cracked. However, closer inspection shows that there are 3 horizontal lines going completely across it (bottom, middle, top). I'm assuming that these are heating elements? You can see each of them by...

Interesting to see how the Model X did in this test.

I've got a set of roof racks (Tesla branded Yakima Whisperbars in silver) in good condition that fit a 2017 Model S with Panoramic Sunroof. Only available for pickup - not shipping elsewhere. CDN$200 flat.

With Rogers network being down this morning, how is this impacting Tesla in Canada? Are there any issues with connectivity to the cars or Superchargers? I can't get mapping to work, although I will try to connect via my phone (not Rogers).

I'm curious to see what others have chosen to shod their Model Xs for wheels? I'm looking for 20" options on a LR and keeping the originals for winter with winter tires. Thus far, I've looked at Unplugged, T-Sportline, TireRack with probably something from T-Sportline leading my interest. If...

I'm curious to know a few things about what happens to Tesla vehicle trade-ins: does Tesla Canada even try to sell them or do they wholesale them off? does Tesla do a mix of it - some keep for CPO, some just wholesale? does Tesla do any work on them if they're trying to CPO them? how long...

Can anyone explain the lease buyout process for Ontario? Thus far, I've paid the residual balance, was informed by the leasing team (US) that the buyout had been completed from their end and someone from Tesla somewhere in Ontario would contact me to sort out the paperwork and get the...

Nice looking vehicle. Close to the Model X in some ways, although not quite the same people carrier in the end (IF Tesla comes back with the 7 seater X).

So, it's finally official that we're getting FSD in Canada - has anyone received the update yet? Tesla 2022.4.5.4 brings FSD Beta to Canada

Given that the refreshed Model X is supposed to be using a heat pump, I'm looking to see if anyone who has received their X are noticing any issues with heat in cold climates? I'm asking after the issues with the Model Y/3 over heat pump failures and seeming lack of heat in the cabin. I'm...

This is primarily directed to those in cold northern cold environments who have/had older Model S and now have the refresh. With the refreshed Model S, how are you finding the heat with the heat pump, especially when it gets colder? Is it noisy? Is it getting the job done? How is are you finding...

Good Morning, I'm wondering if anyone has recently done a trade-in of a Tesla Model S for a newer Tesla and did you feel you got decent value for it? I've got a 2017 100D abd I'm looking at the values on AutoTrader and know Tesla won't match, but am curious to hear how much variance. You can...

Are we seriously looking at being double-dinged if the government applies tariffs to Teslas? That is, we're going to be hit with a luxury tax and now an additional tariff? Will they apply the tariff first, then the luxury tax on top of it?

OK, I know I'm rehashing this whole topic but I'm trying to figure out some details about doing an aftermarket hitch receiver on a Refresh Model X. The hitch receiver that Tesla provides is limited to 120 pounds of vertical weight (reference page 93 of the current manual), which doesn't work for...

A video from yesterday of the Semi undergoing some testing at Fremont.

So, as it stands, there will be a period of (undefined) time between the end of my Model S lease and the "potential" delivery of a Model X. I will not consider extending the lease, however, for those looking for a good pre-owned, it's in good shape once it goes back. Does anyone have any good...

This is something new. I wish I had access to this back when I was in an accident caused by the other driver. Event Data Recorder

So there are 3 ways to select gears in the new S/X - automatically, on the steering wheel, and on the screen. Follow the thread to see the details:

Just an FYI that the fixed rate of 8.5c/kWh is set to return with TOU (Time Of Use) structure on February 22nd (barring any provincial government intervention). Hydro One

I'm looking for advice as to what to expect at the end of a lease with Tesla (first time leasing). I'm aware that if the car is immaculate, there's no issues - it's mostly about mileage. What should one do if there's road rash on wheels, minor dings, etc? Is it better to fix before the end of...

Unusual these days to see a positive review of a Tesla from the G&M. Taking the new Tesla Model Y SUV for a spin on Turo Nice to see it, although I'm expecting some harsh comments forthcoming given the general attitude of the commenters.

Anyone else noticing that when the temperature is below freezing that the heater takes a lot longer to warm the car? This morning it took close to 30 minutes before the climate even approached the right level (while also still attached on the charger). Comparatively, my Model S with resistance...

Anyone know when was the last time that Tesla adjusted it's Canadian prices? There's been quite a swing in the course of this year, but less so in the longer stretch. I know I had the advantage a few years back when the pricing was changed due to a stronger Canadian dollar.

I'm just noticing a difference in the "umbilical" functions between old and new Teslas. On my Model S, when the car is fully charged and I go to heat up the car, it'll draw power from the charger in order to keep the battery at a full charge. On my Model Y, even though it's on the charger it'll...

I'm looking for 19" winter tires for a Model Y. I was hopeful to get either Nokian Hakke R3s or Michelin X-ICE or Alpins. Thus far, they're out of stock locally and don't seem to have a line as to the next possible availability (KalTire, Go Tire, and Active Green and Ross). Looking for someplace...

I'm considering having my tires changed with a mobile service. I had used GoTire in the past without an issue, but the number of bad reviews seems to be growing. I'm looking at alternatives and found Tire Butler. Has anyone used their services for balancing and such? Has anyone used them for rim...

Good afternoon, I'm trying to find out people's experiences with trading in a Model S for another Tesla. Did you get anywhere close to what you feel is market value or was it substantially low? I'm mulling over the numbers to see if buying out my S makes any sense in order to then trade it in...

Model Y LR. 235V/40A draw is normal on my Gen 1 Wall Connector but am only getting 16A/40A. Reduced Charging/check cable message on IP. Tested on my Model S which still drew 40A without any issue. Checked ports, checked charger - no issues. Hard rebooted Y, never gets above 17A peak draw -...

Does anyone else have trouble getting their Model Y to wake up? It usually takes a solid couple of minutes to get it to wake up before I can do anything like turn on the a/c or unlock it. I've got no problems with my Model S, so I doubt it's any kind of radio interference. I'd offer the car a...

Ever since I had the AP3 computer update, I've found that the responsiveness of the main screen with MCU1 has been degrading. Reboots are taking a lot longer, there's more software crashes, and overall it's plain old laggy to do things with the screen (music is slow to load, trip routing slow...

Good Afternoon, I'm looking to find a good quality installer in the GTA who deals with 3M Crystalline. Does anyone have experience with this product, particularly in lighter tints? Does the installer also do the windshield? Any issues with clarity throughout the day or sunset/sunrise? What is...

In order to get the Dashcam set up, can one format the drive in the car? I see a button for format drive, but it's disabled. I assume one has to actually format the drive on a computer in FAT32?

Coming from a Model S where without a heat rejecting tint, the a/c had to work overtime to keep up with trying (and failing) to keep the cabin cool. Once I had Spectra Photosync tinting done, it was a night a day difference in comfort. What I'm wondering is, given that most of the windows are...

For Canada - has anyone recently (last 6 months or so) had a case where Tesla has bought out the residual of a lease in order to get the client into a new Tesla? Is this strictly something that Tesla itself initiates or can a leasee start it? I'm honestly not expecting it, but am curious to hear...

What exactly are most people using for a USB these days? Are there certain manufacturers that tend to work better? I'm not looking for an SSD for the moment - just a larger USB stick if possible. What throughput threshold should I be looking at? I've recently been upgraded to AP3 but still using...

So, depending upon which vehicle one is looking at (along with it's configuration), then combine it with the relative exchange with the US dollar, Canadians might be paying even more to get a Tesla. I'm not a fan of the National Post/Financial Post, but something people who are considering a...

Even though one can get some idea about the details of the configuration on the website, I'm left wondering about certain things that aren't being mentioned thus far. Has anyone who has a delivery notification heard anything on: - tow package - heated steering wheel - chrome vs blacked out...

I wonder how many people with Model S and Xs would pay a premium for getting the outer shell of the Cybertruck? Just for the humour.

So since this update has been applied over the weekend, I've had 2 instances where the car completely shutdown and wouldn't reboot while on a charger at home. The first time on Sunday morning I had a "Please wait - screens busy" message come up. I tried to get the car to boot up but nothing...

Is anyone else having trouble with their rear cameras since installing V10 on their S? Mine has been intermittently working (blacking out for the most part) since V10. This also has impacted Smart Summon (doesn't work) and causes crashes in the AutoPilot software such that I don't trust it...

Good Morning, I'm mulling over getting my current rims cleaned up a bit from some curb rash. I'm wondering if anyone in the GTA has someone who they'd recommend. Part of it may be to also get them painted in a different shade. Any ideas as to the rough costs? TIA
