    TESLA OWNERS CLUB OF ONTARIO. Any advatnage or perks signing up?

    Note, I have a correction to the above. I spoke with a few members of the executives of the club and they corrected me on the date of when the Tesla experience started for members of the club. There are those who had original roadsters - 2010 and early model S from 2012. So really good...

    TESLA OWNERS CLUB OF ONTARIO. Any advatnage or perks signing up?

    I am a member of the club and I think it is worth it. For example, the social events that are held on some occasions are free for members only; we have monthly chapter meetings where there is a meal and a guest speaker presentation - topics vary and we try to get speakers for presentations on...

    Supercharger - Whitewood, SK

    Wow, I am sorry to see that level of energy usage. I have just not had that level of reduction. Is that specific to the Model 3? the picture from "cdnthought" right after your post was also a Model 3. I agree with you that people in the area of which you reside should know the real-world...

    Supercharger - Whitewood, SK

    I am not sure how you are measuring that or running your Tesla, but 40-50% I just have not experienced. I have had my Tesla since early 2016 and I live in Ontario and drive to work every day; and travel to remote areas outside of Ottawa. I have been in -30 degrees Celcius. It all hinges on...

    Mid-Canada Superchargers

    I was looking at the area around the Red Barn Restaurant; I sure hope they do not put in the superchargers in the parking area of that restaurant as it shows on the supercharge.info site... because those spots will be ICED all the time. Go to google maps and take a look at the "street view" of...

    Supercharger - Aulac, NB

    Just to advise you... I have not missed anything. What you are saying is nonsense. Are you trying to tell me that over the last, I do not know 20 years or more, there has not been gas stations that have had convienece and fast food places added after to its property, where the design...

    Supercharger - Aulac, NB

    I think this is all nonesense on the signage. Not sure why Tesla would agree to have these signs put up. I have visted plenty of gas stations in my time and those with large convinence stores and fast food joints attached - like A&W/Burger joints, Subways, etc. And in all I have never seen a...

    2019.8.3 Release Notes

    I received update (2019.8.3) and it came with a few bugs and differences I do not like. Unlike Model 3, I have the small binicle screen in front of the steering wheel (S/X) and it now has a very noticible yellowing of that screen. Also, at random when I bring up either the charging screen or...

    V3 Supercharging.. wagers on first Canadian location

    Well, Tesla has not been able to build one SC in either Manitoba or Saskatchewan or Northern Ontario in over 3 years. Between Calgary, AB and Sudbury, Ontario; not one SC... yet we think it is still possible for Tesla to put such an emphasis on Canada that they would construct and make...

    V3 Supercharging.. wagers on first Canadian location

    I agree with you that supercharge.info is not 100%, but that sight does offer changes of stages for SCs for the most part. It is not always ontop of that sure. But Tesla sight only shows target date and ptretty much every grey SC site shown on the Tesla site in Canada says target opening in...

    Supercharger - Regina, SK

    That sounds very promising. Six new permits. Awesome. I think we will see a bit of a different landscape by July 2019. And then a further improvement by December 2019. Petro-Canada and Canadian Tire may have a number of their stations up and running by then as well. good things are...

    V3 Supercharging.. wagers on first Canadian location

    Yes that is a good point. I think in those spots elon is planning on putting in the powerpacks to store the amount of power needed so while the stations re not in use they fill up those packs and therefore do not need to have the demand surges and charges because of that. Elon did say they...

    V3 Supercharging.. wagers on first Canadian location

    Why is there always someone who thinks they are infallible and then feel the need to exhibit absolutism. How do you know what I do and do not understand. I knew about Saint Leonard how no one was expecting it... that was my point. The conversation is about where do we guess the first V3 SC...

    V3 Supercharging.. wagers on first Canadian location

    I understand what you are alluding to, but technically the only guide I should go by is the supercharge.info site where It has been identified as to what is happening at a particular location. I get it, there are many locations with grey placeholders; but some of those could end up being...

    V3 Supercharging.. wagers on first Canadian location

    I thought maybe I missed it so I just re-checked. I check the supercharge.info site for updates; not the Tesla map you speak of which has “grey” charger symbols spread out all over the place for furure locations - eventually at some time. I am looking at the site that shows blue for permit and...

    V3 Supercharging.. wagers on first Canadian location

    I think the first V3 supercharger site in Canada will be a Northern Ontario site - somehere after Sault-Ste Marie, ON. I always found it wierd that there is a SC in Sudbury, but none scheduled in Sault-Ste Marie, but a permit in Terrace Bay, ON. If you do the route planner, the distance...

    Ottawa Tesla Owners Spring function

    That sounds like a nice idea , I would love to make the trip; but I am from the GTA area and for me this means a mandatory nights stay in a hotel that night, which means taking two days off work - the day of, to travel 4 hours to get there by 7pm... then to stay the night and travel back the...

    Supercharger - Mississauga, ON

    I do not mean to re-hash this but i find it pretty strange that this supercharger is not listed on Plugshare and not listed on Tesla's on sight which shows the Canada's superchargers... Visit a Store | Tesla Canada I guess maybe this Tesla map does not get updates.

    I have a question for the member called "Mr.Plugshare." I,m not sure if you have anything to do with the Plugshare website (thinking maybe you do); but I was just planninf a route and was looking at charger locations - destination chargers, etc. I noticed that there still is not a mark for the...

    Electrify Canada

    That is great coverage by CCS - most of which are from FLO; but the problem is that they only have one plug at each station. Whereas Tesla has on average 8 plugs per station. It would be nice if they had at least 3 CCS plugs per station. For more people to move to EV's they have to have...

    Supercharger - Mississauga, ON

    Think one of the chargers has an issue... maybe broken. I think it is 4A. On Sunday was there about 4:30pm and a owner plugged into 4A and his charger light was orange, then went red. He unplugged and tried to plugg in again. Just went red. He moved to another stall and plugged in. The...

    Electrify Canada

    Can I ask you a question? Are you trying to be antagonizing? We know this is Electrify Canada, but we are talking about in general because charging is an infrastucture that does not only apply to Canada and Electrify America, is the same company that is doing Electrify Canada. They are both...

    Superchargers pushed back to 2019

    Hey Internet dude, I watch your videos and I can see how angry you are. I know you live in Regina, I grew up there as well. It is remote to Tesla, but I am hoping they will do something by Q2 of 2019. Do not be fooled by other established manufactures; EVSteve is exactly right. These...

    Supercharger - Mississauga, ON

    I agree with you if you are talking about the majority of people from Ontario... but these are people from the prairies. They do not fly as much as you think. I grew up in Saskatchewn, left when I was 18 to go to U of T; but by the time I was 14 our family had been from Victoria to New...

    Supercharger - Mississauga, ON

    I know Tesla has the map, but a bunch of grey indicator points do not do anything and I am just suggesting Tesla put a certain area under priority for the moment. At least build a couple of superchargers in between Winnipeg and Regina, and a couple in between Regina and Calgary. I say in...

    Supercharger - Mississauga, ON

    That is not they way Tesla should look at it. I hope Tesla is not thinking that way. Remember their main objective... to promote the advent of sustainable transportation. You cannot promote sustainable transport if there is a 2/3 day void section across the country with no supercharger...

    Supercharger - Brockville, ON

    Yes, Brockville Supercharger is taking much too long to have built. The supercharger team must be getting a number of obstacles thrown into their paths. Not sure why this is so much of a headache for them. I mean it seems that building gas stations, it doesn't seem to be so difficult; and...

    Electrify Canada

    I applaud their effort, but I think we are all learning the truth about the ability and requirements in order to provide the super high speed charging we would all like to see. Tesla has been doing things the way they have for a reason. There has been such a segment of the public that have...

    Supercharger - Mississauga, ON

    It is great this site is open now. However, they put the chargers in the wrong area/zone at that location. They should have installed on the other side of the Micheal's store, between that and where the Rona used to be. That area is huge and empty and would allow for the chargers to be set...

    I was there this morning, just moved the pylons and charged. This charger is really needed and appreciated as there were other Teslas charging as well.

    Supercharger - Aulac, NB

    I am in Fredericton and does anyone know where in this town there is to charge? I am at 5% and the hotel only has 110 outlet, so 6km/h. So by tomorrow i may have 15%. Looking for chademo or 240v charger.

    Question from all you frequent Atlantic Provinces travelers. I am going to PEI next week and I will be stopping in Riviere-du-Loup ("RDL"). staying the night there and leaving for Charlottetown in the morning from the SC there. The map shows 721Km to Charlottetown; where would be the best...

    Supercharger - Aulac, NB

    In my opinion and experience, 200km is not an issue in the "proper" cold. I have a 90D and the shortest range in the winter I have had was around 305km. that was charging at the beginning to 95% SOC. I got home after driving in the snow and cold with 35% left and extrapolte the remainder...

    Supercharger - Aulac, NB

    Would that not just be the case. I am travelling to PEI end of this month. I guess fat chance this will be available by then. I mean there is still 10 working days (no weekends included) left in the month. So maybe! I guess a Tesla supercharger tech has to test the system after it is...

    Trade war and Tesla Canada Sales

    Wiki Superchargers - located but no sign of construction yet

    Firstly, yes thank you, you are correct I meant Argentia. Was the darned auto-correct on my computer decided to send me to another country. My apologies. Also, yes you are right that area is considered Meadowvale West. I do not think that the SCs need to be like Tim Hortons and be on...

    Thanks for your input, but They have been sold. And not for the little range you advised they should be. I did not get mad when "people" advise I am off the mark. I find this being off the mark - by the way who amoungst you are qualified to make this so-called mark/going rate, very...

    Actually I think it will be on the otherside of the street, where the Rona used to be. if they put a SC site in this area at all; it makes better sense there. Monday at 10:32 PM

    Can I take delivery & sell M3 for a profit?

    Do you even know what you are talking about? Since when can you fill up a gas car in 30 seconds? and why is that necessary? Really, when did ICE cars become dirt cheap? Gasoholics are always stating unrealistic specs/criteria necessary for their conversion. Yet the very ICE vehicles they...

    Can I take delivery & sell M3 for a profit?

    Okay, allow me to put my two cents about ICE vehicles. - Cost, there are ICE vehicles people complain about the costs of as well. Not sure what your point is on cost... everything costs money. - range worries. I laugh at this, really you have never ever seen a person with a gas can in...

    Arachnid Set for Sale

    Remember that my asking is in CDN not USD. What I am asking is equivalent to about $3,800.00/$4,000.00 USD. Again that is the asking. If I get an offer I can live with, that is another question entirely. Cheers,

    Wiki Superchargers - located but no sign of construction yet

    My opinion is that for Missisauga, Meadowvale is too close to the Sherway Gardens sight. I would suggest to locate it at 401 and Winston Churchill, by Argentina. There is a huge property that used to be one of the largest Rona stores. It has a huge parking lot, so space is not an issue, and...

    Arachnid Set for Sale

    I figure if one will pay $5,900.00 CDN for the 21" options when ordering; maybe they would like a set of the Arachnids, they are lighter and are worth more. Would it not be simpler to order an S with the regular wheels and save $5,900.00 and buy a set of arachnids for $5K or make a realistic...

    Can I take delivery & sell M3 for a profit?

    I know everybody keeps singing the same tune. I believe this tune, that if not for incentives electric cars would die off, is the tune made and played by the oil and gas industry and the traditional auto manufactures. Gas prices are so subsidized that upon an equal playing field, who would...

    Arachnid Set for Sale

    Try buying those in the USA... the regular 21" cast $5,900.00 CDN and these rims are lighter and better than the regular 21". These have a value of $6,500.00 USD. So I think I am giving a good value on the price.

    To give you a tip on a well hidden secret charger... there is a parking garage at 180 Wellington (North East corner of Simcoe and Wellington - enter off Simcoe and it is a one-way street. Right across from Roy Thomson Hall). if you are needing to park and charge. Daily rate is $16 (from...

    Good evening, I won a set of Arachnid's on the referral prize and since my family has gone up by one more; we see the need of a Model X. Will be trading in the Model S - it already has 21" and a full separate set of winter tyres. So I want to sell the Arachnid set. They have never been used...
