Before people say search the forums, I’ve looked and all I can find is people saying their car’s trim got the rainbow discolouration on the black trim after they went through a car wash. But nobody has said “X car wash” is safe or “Y car wash” is bad. Kelowna BC based: where do people go to wash...

To clarify, I ordered the winter tire package (ie rims and wheels). As far as I know, the aero caps only fit the rims that Tesla sells. And my understanding is that it does provide some range improvement (which is important for mitigating winter losses for me). I’m not using them for regular...

It seems ridiculous to me that I have to drive roughly 8 hours round-trip to have my winter tires installed if purchased through Tesla. They won't ship them to me directly, and won't send the mobile ranger. This boggles my mind. Am I missing something? How is there no mention of anyone...

You texted the number that texted you with the confirmation/telling you to select your pick up time? I texted them about changing time, and radio silence. Previously they'd texted from the same number suggesting I order a car/upgrade and had conversations with them... so not sure what's going on.

Completely UNRESPONSIVE. To the point I'm unsure if it's just an automated message sending me texts... Zero response from the number that texted me to schedule delivery... guess I'll just have to let my order be placed on hold? Will they just take my deposit and cancel the order? Do they realize...

Ordered in February, got a "schedule delivery" message a few days ago for this weekend. But timing is no good for me. Nobody to talk to over email or text, so I called the store, eventually spoke to someone who said they won't hold the car till next weekend, so they un-matched me from the car. 2...

Thanks for this post! I just got home yesterday, and backing into the garage I had the same loud metal screeching noise. Checked under the car, expecting that I was dragging some debris: nope, nothing there. Left it alone and tried again the next day, still very loud (even louder?) scraping...

186 Picadilly. Don't know if they used pucks, but not sure if you need to. They've done many teslas before.

KalTire did a good job also!

I was going to ask: do you only lose radar if you get into the FSD beta then? I’ll have to pay more attention to see if my car is still seeing 2 cars ahead like it used to. I think that was a radar feature? But it has freaked out in light fog 2x in the last month. Whereas it used to power...

Have a 2018 model 3. One of the things that impressed me most about autopilot was how well it navigated in heavy rain. Seemed to see better than I could (and did not drive erratically despite pretty bad conditions). Yesterday was driving in what eventually became very heavy fog. Autopilot...

I also got the same error a few days ago after updating. Tried reformatting etc... to no avail. I also have a microSD/reader combo, but have a previous regular USB that seems to work when I plug it in. Similar to above, everything functions fine, just gives the error. I tried the 2 scroll wheel...

I can’t seem to find this issue anywhere, so I’m creating a new thread: had a regular USB drive for Tesla Cam since the feature was rolled out. At first you’d have to take the USB Key inside and wipe the videos when it got full, then I thought it started manually over writing the older clips, so...

Own both a 2018 LR RWD and a 2019 SR+. After some over the air software updates, the acceleration difference is almost imperceptible. The interior looks identical (yes, SR didn't come with floor mats, but I got aftermarket floor mats for both cars anyways). Audio is supposed to be missing a few...

I'm in Canada. It was $114 and went down to $75 pre-tax. It may have been 75 in US and went down to 60, so not as much of a change

Ok, so no 'return shipping fee'? Their website mentions that there is a cost for returns that is taken off the credit. I'm asking because I just bought a tire repair kit, and literally like 2 days after buying it, the price dropped 44$. It feels wasteful, but I'm planning on returning and...

Hey Paulobrien, I’m considering getting this cap kit you mentioned now that Tesla has gotten rid of the similar looking official version. Just worried they might be duds. How are the caps holding up after a few months use? Do the pay match the wheel? Did they damage anything? These seem like...

So nobody’s tried the tesloid cap kit? Looks very similar to the original Tesla one, but with some sort of ease of removal modification... just a bit hesitant to be the test dummy if it’s a dud product

Will they ship to North America?

Of course I finally decided to order the aero cap kit just as Tesla decided to change it... looking to find something that resembles the old version, but with reasonable quality. Has anyone ever tried this brand? Model 3 Aero Wheel Cap Kit - Easy Remove - Tesloid Canada I know it's currently out...

I think I'll be covered by Fortis, which doesn't appear to have run out of funding yet? Also still have a few months still till I need to worry about it... but thanks for the heads up!

Reviving an old thread here to ask about the details of this program. Seems like it is re-initiated every now and then. The most recent iteration seems to have been put in place December 2020, and although the Tesla HPWC is listed as an approved equipment option, the written requirements state...

Thanks, I’ll check them out! also in case anyone has a similar question, I did some digging, and autotrader has an instant quote type deal on their website which appears to link you up with a dealership that is willing to buy your car (even if you don’t want to buy one of theirs back)

Hi Everyone, I'm not trying to sell my car privately, I just want to see what an "instant trade in" offer would be in Canada to compare with what Tesla is offering. Looking to trade in an SR+ for a Y. I know the US has carvana and vroom to name a few, but are there equivalent services in...

EV Battery Metals Derived from Polymetallic Nodules | DeepGreen Watch the first few seconds of this video. Appears to be a model S with the interior update that was leaked a year or so ago that resembles the 3/Y. Likely just CGI based on the rumours... but interesting regardless.

Is that taking into account the tax savings from Tesla? I feel like I would compare "Trade in" quotes differently than "buy your car outright" quotes. Or am I misunderstanding how that works? Because you save the tax on the trade in value, you should add the cost of tax to the trade in quote to...

I've always tried to preheat/cool the car before getting in, and have almost never/never had an issue with unresponsiveness. I later figured out that it's because I'm essentially waking the car by preheating it/opening the app. On the occasion when I forget to pre-heat, I have adopted the rear...

I'm curious about this, if you do a trade in, does the trade in value get removed from the pre-tax amount on the new car? I thought I read this somewhere (ie you save the tax on the trade in value taken off the new vehicle?).

I've got 2 model 3's, and the HPWC is on a 60A circuit. I thought there was no benefit beyond 60A for a single HPWC? Also I'm pretty electrically incompetent. I guess I could search for instructions on how to remove it? I just assumed there was a lot of energy going through that thing, and I...

Hi everyone, I think I'm posting this in the right place, but if not, please feel free to move to the right section (seems to be both a supercharging and home charging forum). I'm going to be moving homes, and currently have a Gen2 Tesla Home charger installed. I don't know how much an...

Thanks for all the replies. I did have a subsequent trip requiring 100% charge, and got full dots. Will post picture when I'm home. Does the SR range degrade in proportion to the total unlocked battery degradation, or does the degradation get hidden in the locked part of the battery? I'm not...

As an owner of an LR RWD and SR+, I have to say that the sentiment that you'd be screwed with RWD is not the case... cars handle really well (with snow tires). Would AWD be better? Sure, but RWD is no slouch compared to my previous FWD cars.

Yes, full bar of dots I'm pretty sure. I'll pay more attention the next time, but I'm almost certain it starts with full dots.

So I've had an SR+ in Canada for over a year now. From the moment I got it, until now, it has continued to have a maximum range of around 356km or thereabouts when charged to 100%. It is our second car, and not driven nearly as much, so I didn't think much of it, and I assumed that it would...

Glad to hear this is helping some people! Huge props to the awesome people at the Kitchener Service Center in Canada for this solution!! No argument, not even a person to talk to. All done through text messages/Tesla app, and it was just fixed. So happy, and my car remains as silent as I'd like...

I have on occasion had the phantom breaking, but more recently, I am seeing a transient drop in speed limit from 100km/h to 30 and then back up. Not sure if someone is maliciously changing the speed limit on whatever database tesla uses? Look forward to a functional camera based speed limit...

So this brings back the issue of Musk claiming that "All cars made as of X date will have HW3" then several months worth of cars after that date not actually getting HW3... it's blatantly false advertising, and now (as expected) non-FSD specific features are being rolled out for HW3 cars. Hoping...

TACC already slows the car down to a lower speed limit. Or at least it has for me as long as I've had it... certainly does it on undivided streets/highways, and almost sure I've had a few annoying aggressive decelerations where a much lower speed limit is erroneously programmed into whatever...

Also, if they're being nitpicky and annoying and saying it's within spec... can't you just pay to have this stupid strap replaced? Like just tell them you want them to change it and pay whatever it costs? Obviously may not be the same issue, but I would have happily paid 100$ or something like...

It only took them a few hours, but they were doing multiple things (2 yr service, this sound, and had to replace something with the front bearings I think because the car started making a rumbling/grinding noise a week before the appointment). They gave me a loaner and sent me home, but the...

Ok, I've got the perfect solution for you: Book a service appointment at the Kitchener Service Centre, and tell the Canada Border Services you're actually on your way to Alaska. I think that's the secret way into Canada isn't it? But more seriously, maybe ask them to replace your rear drive...

Well, I would venture to say that whichever Tesla location you are going to that claims it is within spec is not being honest with you, or not understanding what you're complaining about (if it is the same problem I've been having). Tesla Oakville didn't even listen and told me it is normal...

That's the idea... it's the NORMAL noise the car makes when accelerating more aggressively. The noise I was complaining about is NOT what is in the intro of the video. But some people might be confusing this pleasant acceleration noise with the unpleasant whine that some cars have for various...

The first few seconds of this video is the “pleasant” noise I’m referring to:

I think it’s hard to explain to those who have not had to deal with the unpleasant whine. The ‘regular’ Happy Tesla whine is similar to the intro noise that used to be played on the “model 3 owners club” videos from a year or two ago before they rebranded. I thought it was a neat noise before I...

The rear drive unit’s ground strap was replaced. I don’t know What that means, but that’s what my invoice said was done to fix the noise. And the noise has been fixed!

Ok, so after suffering with this high pitched whine in my LR RWD for over a year (Started after a service centre appointment That also coincided with the range boosting software update), and after being told That it is “normal” by the Toronto Oakville service centre, I accepted it. But then got...

I've got a new variant of this issue now. After a failed phone call, and the audio going wonky, it'll reset itself, except the audio will be full blast, so you get a good scare when the music comes back on... I don't understand how they manage to 'break' certain things when they implement...

I'm fairly certain that Musk said all cars produced after a certain date would have the HW3 computer in them. I bought my second Model 3 on that assumption. But I did not buy FSD, and my car, which was produced after the cutoff date, ended up with HW2.5, because I think they had production...
