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...

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...

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...

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.

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...

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...

I just had my aero winters put on, and was not given a set of covers to go with them... is this an actual change, or is the service centre mistaken? Got winters for my other 3 last year, and they came with an extra set of aero covers, as did others who ordered the winter tire aero wheels. Not...

So there's lots of interspersed discussion about traffic cone visualization with the new software rollout, but there doesn't appear to be a master thread to discuss this aspect specifically. I'm curious to find proof of one particular configuration that results in the cone visualization: do you...

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has found any workarounds for in-car text message access. I'm an iPhone user, and it looks like iMessage does not have a web-based app, and the WhatsApp web-app does not work with the Tesla browser. I know this has been a long sought after feature, so wondering if...

Assuming I didn’t get hacked, because I can still log into Tesla website, but my app stopped working and after signing out, I can no longer sign back in because it says password is wrong. Anyone else having troubles? Does this just resolve on its own?

Got an SR+ a few weeks ago. Have noticed that the limited regen ....... appear and have been there despite starting charge of only 90% (ie 340km) and stays as low as 250km of range. The .... go all the way to the Neutral indicator (so not super limited, but still there is a limit). The weather...

So I just got a text from Tesla saying my SR+ white/black/aero order arrived early. Have had a June 12th delivery date in my account for a week or two now with no other contact made. If I use the source code trick to check VIN number, there is one assigned, and it under the "VIN Changed" option...

I absolutely love my Tesla. So much so, that I ordered a second Model 3. But there is a concerning amount of incompetence at the service centres. I got my first Model 3 July 2018. Multiple defects: side panel bubbles, horn leather scratched, rear window scratched, Frunk paint defect, cosmetic...

So a bit of background: got my LR RWD 3 August of last year. Love the car. Had a Mazda3 as second car in the house which we used for things such as driving to and parking in the airport (avoids worry of battery drain in the winter, to say nothing of dings/scratches). Was also family member's car...

Did a search of the forums, and can only find discussions about Toronto options... I've always changed my tires out at costco... but they don't have the equipment to swap tires for a Model 3. I've gotten the impression that the tesla service centres don't do tire swaps either (or do they? I have...

Hello model X board! I’ve spent most of my time on the model 3 board (because that’s what I own) but I’m going on a road trip for about a week from San Francisco to Portland, and was looking into a model X rental. I’m Canadian but trying to have the rest of the family see the Tesla “light”...

So I don't know how to describe this view, but the "surrounding car" view that shows up on the left hand side of the screen indicating renders of all the vehicles detected surrounding the car. When I first got the car, it only picked up cars in front of you. Many months ago, there was a big...

I just got back from a trip to Toronto where I was trying to supercharge at the Sherway Gardens/Etobicoke supercharger. Plug in the car, cord doesn't seem to go all the way in, screen alerts say charging rate reduced, re-insert charge cable, something to that effect. Light is orange on the...

So for the last 2 days, it's been a bit on the colder side (approaching -10C) and I park in a covered but not heated garage. (No idea if temp is a contributor). When I turn on the car, as I'm driving out of the parking garage, the headlights start flashing/flickering for a few seconds randomly...

So I've had LTE/3G internet connection issues since I got my car. Lately they have improved, but I've also moved away from using the streaming music service, and instead use my phone for music. Around the same time, I got the V9 update with a shiny new web browser... which barely ever works. So...

Have had my Model 3 for a few months now. I unplug it before I leave for work daily by pressing the charger button to unlock the port, hang up my charger, then get in the car. Have never had a problem. Since upgrading to v.9 Friday night, I've had to open a door first to 'wake' the car, because...

Hi everyone, Just thought I'd get a quick consensus from the forum... how long does it take you to connect to your car if you want to turn on the heat/AC for example through your phone app? One of my favourite features was the ability to pre-cool or heat your car as you're leaving a restaurant...

I got my car at the end of the June Ontario delivery push. Off the bat, many issues discovered, noted, and told will be fixed, including: Slight deformity in frunk Bubbled "leather" liner on driver side door Scratched rear passenger window Crumpled felt liner near windshield Nicked steering...

So I tried searching the forum and surprisingly couldn't find a thread to figure out what a reasonable cost is for a home charger install in Ontario. I've got 200A service, and the panel is in the basement about 25-30 ft horizontally from the intended location in the garage. Got one quote so far...

I've been wondering: With the all-glass roof, are their load limits for what you can attach? I've seen the vacuum cup bike rack for the roof, but that is not sufficient for the weight of a canoe. A friend of mine had simple foam pieces that we'd put on 4 corners of the canoe and attach to the...

So I just noticed a “loot box” show up in my Tesla app, which provided me with a referral code for others to get free supercharging for purchases of S and X vehicles (NOT 3s), or to use the code to sign up for a Tesla newsletter and give both of us a chance to race a Tesla Semi. I’m pretty sure...

So I'm trying to figure out what the point of the "start car" option is in the Tesla App. I accidentally hit it once, and it asked to use FaceID to verify me, then started a 2 min timer to keep the car on. With a Model S/X I know you can use your phone to turn on the car/drive it if you forgot...

So I'm a bit surprised that there isn't another thread about this (or I can't seem to find it). Got my Model 3 a few days ago, and was surprised at how poor the sound quality was. I read people ranting and raving at how "premium" the premium sound system was, but I had to crank the volume to...

Picked up my model 3 yesterday. Great car, a few issues to be dealt with afterwards, but from a driving perspective, I had what could have been a bit of a disaster happen: was turning into a parking lot, and as I turned the steering wheel, my hand hit the drive selector paddle, putting the car...

So my car is due to arrive at the end of the month, and I’ve been told that depending on the exact date when I am available for pickup, if would mean going to IC vs Yorkdale/Oakville. Is there any advantage to picking up my model 3 in one place vs the other? My thoughts are that the IC may be a...

So I placed my order for a HPWC from Tesla a few days ago. I didn't get a confirmation email, and as far as I can find, there is no history of it ever being ordered on my tesla account. Is this normal? Should I call someone to figure out delivery estimate? My car's ETA is a few weeks away, and I...

So this seems like a pretty obvious question, but I couldn't find any threads to answer it: Is the Model 3 screen made of glass or plastic? I'd hope for a car in this class it is glass, but I don't want to assume. I've always had an iPhone which has a glass screen, and aside from the eventual...

So a few days ago, Elon replied to the Tesla Model 3 OC Tweet that configurator access to P and D Model 3s would be rolling out over the next week. Has anyone actually been invited in Canada? If so, are you a current owner? Reservation date? Location? Thanks!

The official Tesla twitter account is asking for questions that Elon might answer during their shareholder's meeting next week. Don't know if I'm being naive, but maybe if enough Canadians tweet out the same questions, we might get a hint or response. I think many people on here want to know...

I think basically every Canadian who reserved a model 3 had an automatic “late 2018” delivery date populated on their mytesla account originally. A few months ago, that changed for some (maybe all?) to allow for a mid 2018 date for both first production AND dual motor options. My question is why...

I see lots of discussion about the white interior availability, but I haven't come across any discussion of if/when the cream interior option will be made available for the 3. I find the black acceptable, but I'd rather something lighter. The white seems "too white". The cream is a calming less...

Hi everyone, Day 2 reservation looking for some advice: I currently live in Alberta, but will be moving to Ontario in September. Going on the assumption that the Ontario tax credit will be gone by July, I am thinking that it would make more sense to buy my Model3 in Alberta before I move to...

I'm a bit surprised not to see any threads discussing the alcantara headliner/door accents. I absolutely cannot stand the two tones of colour that result from anyone touching suede-like materials, and after taking a few tesla taxis recently, I'm even more adamantly against this material. It...

I'm a Model 3 reservation holder, and I've never owned an electric car. As the production start approaches, I'm interested in looking into a test drive of a Model S, but more importantly than just trying the car out for 15-20 minutes and having them show off the bells and whistles (ie. launch...

I remember reading a few months ago that Tesla had designed an optioned-down Model S for some European country in order to allow buyers to qualify for EV incentives in that country. Wondering if anyone has heard/come across any plans for Tesla to do the same in Canada/Ontario? The new Ontario...
