    Possible brake caliper leak?

    I was changing over to winter rims on our 2021 model Y rwd and noticed the mess inside the rim. This summer set of rims has been on since March 2023, so 7 months. In that time it looks like something leaked from somewhere. It looks dried, some sort of fluid. I have little experience with...

    No real-time supercharger status visible in car

    Just noticed both our teslas are not displaying any real time supercharger status, only the locations. The app on the phone works fine through the location tab. Reboot did not solve it. Any thoughts?

    Windshield rock chip repair Vancouver

    I have another small rock chip in my windshield, thought I should see to it before the cold weather. I had one repaired locally in Burnaby 3 yrs ago on my 2015 Model S. Today I went to the same place, they said they no longer repair chips in Teslas. I thought this was odd, he explained Tesla...

    Over the counter parts return policy

    Any idea what Tesla's over the counter parts return policy is? I bought a parking brake assembly for my model S, turns out it was a flaky connector issue and I did not need the new part. Seems they do not accept parts for return, not even with a restocking fee. Their site is very non specific...

    Rear passenger door hinge stop

    My 2015 85D is having intermittent issue with the rear passenger upper door hinge. This one contains the mechanism that stops and holds the door at different openning angles. It seems to be a sealed unit with no serviceable access. My problem is sometimes it takes a little more force than...

    Replacing Model S front upper control arms

    Model S 2015 85D with 103K kms I have found the source of the clunking sound during low speed maneuver over uneven road surfaces. This seems to be the common issue for aging Model S/X car owners, similar spot to where the early model 3 suffers the squeaking. Everything else seems intact with no...

    PPF in Burnaby

    We just finally added a PPF coat to the front end area of our black 2021 Model Y SR. We were thinking about is for a while, my experience with my un-wrapped 2015 Model S let us to have a wait-and-see approach. The grey model S has a few nicks I touched up over the 100000Km, but I really don't...

    Swanky new Lucid charging station

    Coupled with the showroom in Vancouver, I see the new charging station being readied for test drives. Located just down the hall from the tesla supercharger in Pacific Center. Interesting to see the showroom, it looks identical in form as Tesla once had, just a different brand of car in its...

    Short lived 12v battery?

    I had also posted my concerns under the model S heading, but I am interested in getting a more local perspective on the expected 12v battery life. I have a model S 85D with 100000Km. First battery went at 65000km, 4 1/4 years. Second one just went at 100000k, 2 1/2 years later. Seems a little...

    Passenger window self opening MY

    First snow of the season in the city. Noticed this poor soul parked in staff parking. No sentry on, I doubt they have the window left warning activated. Wet seat. Our model Y was doing this months ago, have not seen this recently. I thought it was just the window down button being triggered...

    No forward vehicle detection in heavy rain

    We are suffering from the Atomospheric River rainfall in the PNW. Lots of rain and wet roads. Twice on the way home from work, driving on city streets, I have no vehicle detection or graphics for the cars in front of me. Not impressed with this "safety" feature. Is this a product of a disabled...

    Strange Summon event

    On my MS 2015 85D I use summon for only two things, backing the car into the garage after unloading groceries out of the trunk and backing into a charging stall at work (concrete pillar blocks the driver door). Yesterday at the charger, I got out, readied the cable, then used the fob to start...

    Center displays shows two different levels of brightness

    2015 MS 85D with the MCU2 upgrade done in July 2020. Driving home from work I noticed my display showing two different levels of brightness. Very obvious demarkation between the left and right fields, and the centre area showing traffic proximity. Out to the garage to try a reboot. The car...

    Warranty Adjustment Program - Touchscreen Component

    Anyone seen an email in their in box regarding Tesla and MCU replacement? This is starting to make the rounds in the US. This would be really nice to have some or all of the repair cost refunded for the MCU replacement.

    Summon drives me crazy

    My 2015 model S 85D has the new mcu2 replacement. I have the ranger scheduled to fix my remote unlock via the app. As well, I noticed the summon failing to connect or authorise correctly. I have the fob in pocket and standing near the car in the garage. App will sometimes delay while trying...

    Turn signal function lost

    My 2015 model S 85D with 75000km started to experience MCU issues on Saturday, traveling from Calgary back to Vancouver. The screen during an overnight charge would not start up in the morning. Center screen was still functioning, and Roadside service said it would be drivable. We managed...

    Limited Regen observation

    I have one of those Model S 85D 2015 with the software reduced supercharging/regen. Previously below 12C, regen was reduced, but I would see the regen restore itself to full ability after a few minutes of driving. Some of us have noticed the regen reduction more pronounced for longer periods...

    Model S stock tire price quote

    How does one get an up to date price quote on stock tires from Tesla in Vancouver? Last October I was in have the airbag updated and they texted me quote which seemed cheaper than Costco. There seems to be no direct line to service and I do not actually want to book an appointment through the...

    Microphone not available

    Recently updated to 2020.8.2 and had this message about the microphone displayed on my center screen. I have a model S 2015 with MCU 1. Maybe this is to be expected, I have seen a decline in the voice command performance over the last few updates. Oh no, posted in the wrong spot.

    Yet another software glitch

    the "Keep Climate On" window is missing a bunch of letters in the statement under the switch. Likely just needs a reboot of of the software. If it isn't one software issue it is another with this car. Model S 85D 2015 running the most recent software.

    Model 3 at Tsawwassen Supercharger

    Enjoyed a Saturday trip across the Lower Mainland to check out the supercharger in Tsawwassen, low and behold, a blue Model 3 at the charger! It had a Washington temp decal on the window, nice and new. I have not had a chance to see the inside up close at the showroom. First impression, looks...

    Failed Thermal Test

    I will make it short and sweet... I have a 2015 Model S 85D, April 2015 delivery. 36,707 km. We took a two week trip from Vancouver BC to Phoenix AZ and back with a factory tour in between last July 2016. It was hot, the car performed great in the heat. We hit 50C at the supercharger in...

    Chevy Bolt in the Wild

    Just passing through Myrtle Creek Oregon on the 14th of July when we stumbled across this white Bolt with manufacture plates on it. We circled in our Model S and snapped a few photos. The driver just gave us a casual look. I must say it kept up with the flow of traffic. Not sure where it was...

    Burlington to Ellensburg on a single charge?

    Just planning a road trip in July and the biggest stretch between SCs seem to be Burlington to Ellensburg for us. We will have a partially loaded 85D. Using the EV trip planner, we could be pushing our limit if we drive too fast (1vs 1.2). Anyone made that run or has some thoughts. Thx
