That's great; thanks.

That's good to know. With my carbon fiber wide-body kit installed, I lost about an inch of road clearance, so I am looking to gain some height back. Do the AirTekk struts go an inch or two above factory ride height, which is what I need to clear bumps and steep driveways? Cheers

Thanks for the info tsmithlxix. I had been told that the 3H would be hard to install in my car because of long linkage travel; do you have any tips about installing the 3H? I would like to auto-leveling for sure. I never thought of ping tanks, but I don't want a bone-jarring ride, so I will...

Thanks for the feedback.

Dante, If you are in Ontario, Canada, then yes the trade-in price is subtracted from the purchase price for HST calculations. Good luck.

Earlier in this thread, I mentioned I was looking at upgrading with coil-overs and Hybrid-Air bags; however, I could not find a suitable solution, so I looked elsewhere. Just bought the Air Tekk Stage 3 Air Struts with Air Lift Performance 3P management system (Stage 3 management kit). I will...

Uncle Paul, the trade-in value of my 2017 MS 75D with 150K km is NOT worth attempting. I would have to fork over another C$30K to $50K (US$22K to $37K) to get a newer MS. I have it setup with an excellent custom stereo, FSD HW 3.0, MCU2 and 72A charger upgrades and a carbon fibre wide-body...

Since I put a Revozport Tesla Widebody Kit on my 2017 MS75D without air shocks, it got another 1" (25mm) closer to the ground. I have been looking for a solution to raise it up when I need to clear obstacles (speed bumps, rough railway tracks, steep driveways or deep snow). I like tsmithlxix's...

I just checked with my MS and it shows the Supercharger is off-line; however, I just had my son check at the sight. He lives beside the site and had said that the Tesla stall lights are all ON (as at 2020-03-27 1:27PM). There were no cars charging, so he could not confirm that they are pumping...

I have two HPWC on a 100A circuit and they work great charging up to 80A for one and up to 40A if both are charging. This is an expensive solution, however. There is another thread that gets into the details of multiple wall connectors and other options that are cheaper, so here it is: Wall...

It has been a couple of years since this post was started; however, Ottawa now has an authorized auto body shop: Donnelly Ford. Donnelly Collision | Restored to perfection inside and out

Too funny

I got 50K+ km on the R3s. The rears were done, so I just replaced all four this year. We had a terrific storm in Southern Ontario a few weeks ago, and I was able to cruise along while others on the HWY 401 & 407 were slip slidin' away. Snow tires should be a law like in Quebec.

I would like to get in on the next order too.

********** Thanks for the info Garth, I am visiting my son soon in DR, so I am willing them to finish soon. Your update was promising. :)

As of this morning, 26 Nov, the station is all done and hydro is installed. They are waiting for Tesla to approve the installation prior to taking them live. No estimated time for that inspection that I know of, but hopefully very soon.

I have used Nokian WRG4 on my wife's 2015 Jeep and daughter's 2011 VW Jetta; they both hated the poor on-ice handling, so I have switched them back to Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3, which is what I have always had on my 2003 MB S55 AMG and my 2017 Model S. I have driven over 118,000 km in two years...

I just spoke to Tesla Customer Service today and the rep confirmed that there is an Ottawa Service Centre on the books for December 2019 or early 2020. He would not give details or location, but that was good news for sure. Now hopefully they can find a location soon. I am also hopeful that...

artsci, Count me in for 1 kit on the nex order. I've got a 2017 MS75D. I'll keep an eye on the post, but message me when you need upfront payment. Thanks

I agree. I just spent the last year and a half driving between London (home) and Quebec City or Ottawa. When it is -25C to -35C, it is a real challenge to get from Kingston to Ottawa, and the comments about only 6 stalls in Kingston and Cornwall off the beaten track are bang-on. Now with so...

That sucks; I feel your pain!

All I can tell you is that I used to regularly get rates up to 95KW that indicated a 500km/h (313 mph) rate that stayed high until around 65%, and now I sometimes get 82KW rate that indicates about 455km/h (284 mph) rate for about 3 minutes then it tapers off. That works out to a real-life...

These data sets were at temps around 22°C-25°C and the 82KW only lasted about 3 minutes (see graph). I had been at highway speeds for 2-3 hrs and the starting charge states were from 20% to 49%. It seems to me that I should be getting in the 90-95KW rate when the battery is below 40-50%. I...

My last car was a 2003 MB S55 AMG and in several years I did have to replace the windshield once over 330,000 km (206,250 mi), so it seems that it was tougher than these Tesla-sourced ones. Tha said, I think that you have been very lucky :)

I also think that the glass is inferior to glass from years past; I have had lots of pitting, but more aggravating are the way the glass cracks too easily. My 2017 MS 75D is about to get its third windshield and second roof in only 14 months of driving. I do over 4,500 km (2,857 mi) per month...

I have been struggling with Supercharger rates on my 2017 MS 75D. I do mostly Supercharging because I am on the highway about 80% of the time. When my MS 75D was new in June 2017, I saw charge rates up to 95KW at an unshared 120KW station. After 64,000 km (40,000 mi) in 14 months, I am seeing...

I do have the Revozport spoiler that came with the widebody kit; however, I will not install the kit for another couple of months, but I do not intend to put on the spoiler because I have and love my TSportline carbon fiber spoiler $1100 (Tesla Model S Carbon Fiber Trunk Wing Spoiler) and its...

I highly recommend using the Motive Products 108 Brake System Power Bleeder (US$59 on Amazon) and it comes with an 1108 master cylinder adapter for the Tesla. This makes it a one-person job without getting any brake fluid on parts. I have had one of these for about 15 years and used it on VWs...

I too am interested for my 2017 S75D w/o air suspension.

I am at the Supercharger now on my way back to Quebec City from Deep River. The rate is good at 518 km/hr and 90Kw to my 75D. A lot of food options here too. Having a nice burrito at Quesada

Thanks for checking it out ixtroisy; I will use it a lot on my regular travels from Deep River to Quebec City; now I am hoping they get Deep River and Renfrew completed soon too :) P.S. I am not a fan of the Ottawa Supercharger; traffic is terrible to get in and out from the highway, the charger...

Travelled by Casselman at 5:300PM today and the TESLA name plates were lit up on the chargers, which typically means they are live. I was heading for Ottawa Supercharger, so I was passed the off ramp when I saw the Casselman stations. If someone could check if the station is actually live, I...

Wayner et al, You are right about London not having a lot of Level 2 or 3 chargers and a SC out by the 401 or 402 Hwy would be great. If, however, you are at UWO and need a charge to get to Woodstock's SuperCharger, check-in at my house that is 5 minutes from UWO. I am on Plugshare in North...

I agree with RandyS; you should be able to throttle the charge down with the on-screen arrows. My High Power Wall Charger (HPWC) on a 100A cct allows a 72A charge to my MS, and I can reduce it if I want to using the down arrow. As a side note, apparently there was a Canadian Electrical code...

An update on the new 20-stall site at Brock Road and Kingston Road in Pickering Ontario. It is only 1 minute off the 401 HWY and in a large outdoor mall with restaurants and stores; good location, I think. I asked the workers if they had a projected operational date; however, they did not...

I have not found the Toronto Downtown hub, but just came across a new 20-stall site at Brock Road and Kingston Road in Pickering, Ontario. It is only 1 minute off the 401 HWY and in a large outdoor mall with restaurants and stores; good location, I think. I asked the workers if they had a...

Probably old info for your post, but in Canada, you can get a decent contact cleaner at Canadian Tire for C$6.99 (MotoMaster Electrical Contact Cleaner, 150-g | Canadian Tire)

I have installed three of the BattMobile T1230 batteries: one to replace the OEM AGM and the other two in the trunk with my custom stereo installation. This has given me 90Ah of dependable 12VDC. I have had NO issues in the 30,000km and it has been dependable so far with a few -10C nights. I...

I was told at the Oakville SC that the Supercharger team stated that they are installing a large hub (20-30 spots) in downtown Toronto. They would not give any real details, but a hub would be great as long as it doesn't cost $20 to get into and out of the parking lot :)

I was curious about Stardale, Ontario as a site, so I drove by the two farm houses there! That will be a terrible location; close to the highway but absolutely nothing around. I think It will have to be a few minutes away in Hawkesbury; at least I hope so!!

Got my MS 75D uncorked and it is even better than it was before, which was still quick. The only down side is my wife yells at me when I punch it down from a stop :(. The kids love it though!:)

I would highly recommend the Nokian WRG3 for areas that get lots of snow but spend most of their driving times in cities and on the highways. I had them on my Mercedes S55 AMG (sold now) for a winter, and have them on my wife's 2015 Jeep Wrangler for 2 winters & my son's 2015 Nissan Micra for 2...

I got a response back within 24 hours when I questioned why I could not my 2017 75D uncorked; TeslaNA then got the Oakville SC to call me a book the appointment, which occurs on 6 Nov.

This is great start to the GTA sites. I live in London and work in Durham Region & Quebec City, so I have been struggling with only Lawrence Avenue supercharger available in the GTA. There are a lot of us who have accepted the tolls as the cost-of-doing-business and love the 407ETR to avoid...

Just got comfirmation from Fremont that my May 2017 S75D build with VIN 201xxx will have the "Battery Uncorked" when I take it into the Toronto Service Centre next time. I took it in two weeks ago for its first 20,000 km check and they said NO, but an email to Frement and some return calls...

Nice video DenT. I stopped by tonight on my way back from Ottawa and still no power...Now that the construction fence is gone, hopefully this week.

I call my utility, London Hydro, and they knew nothing about the government's promises. So I spoke with a rep from the Ministry of Energy last week about this over-night free charging promise. They really have no idea how they can administer this program to be fair and still fall within the...

I am I am about to install an HPWC and intent to buy a white 80A EVoReel from EvoCharge https://www.evocharge.com/uploaded/EVoCharge_Product_Brochure_XI-08C.pdf The price reasonable, especially with a $1000 charger rebate in Ontario Canada.
