    MASTER THREAD: 2019.36.2.1 - new HOLD mode and other features

    Ok, this sucks. Just installed 36.2.1 on my 2017 Model X and NO FULL REGEN. What gives? Why not? Any other X owners get shortchanged on this one?

    Confused amperage?

    I am visiting family and charging with my Gen-1 charger. Car indicates 32 amps available but breaker box clearly is a 30-amp circuit = 24 amps available. Can anyone speculate on why this is happening?

    Tesla Service tech says Tow Package software controls trailer brakes w/o separate controller needed

    I’ve read that the Tesla wiring harness differs from normal trailer hookups. Did you have any issues?

    Ottawa Service

    I’m assuming you meant to say, “underserved” not “undeserved” as well as “committing itself” and not “omitting”. Good summary of the current situation; I can confirm everything you’ve written. Let’s hope for a service center and loaners soon although you can’t beat Patrick fixing things in your...

    Ottawa Service

    Tesla rents a service bay at a local shop; Patrick took my X there for the annual maintenance. Next step is to get their own space so they can keep equipment and tools there permanently.

    Ontario EVIP rebates update

    Received my car rebate. June 6 delivery, June 7 application. Although, like all other Tesla owners, I’m a millionaire, it’s still nice to get it.

    Eastern Canada Superchargers

    Tesla always has a game for us to play: first, it was the Model 3 reveal date, then the configurator start date for Canada, now the missing 2018 Superchargers. Next up, Model Y reveal date, Pick-up reveal, etc.... The fun never ends!

    Source (can’t vouch for his reliability) told me Service Center coming to Ottawa next spring, in the Terry Fox area.

    Supercharger locations

    Ok, has Tesla given up adding new Superchargers in Ontario this year? These are the ones “scheduled” for 2018: Brockville, Renfrew, Deep River, North Bay, Orangeville, Waterloo, Mississauga, Vaughan, Scarborough, North York, Toronto - The Annex, Toronto - Yonge/Eglinton, Toronto - Liberty...

    Dashcam users in Toronto/Ottawa/Montreal?

    Finally found someone to install a Blackvue 750 2-ch dashcam in my Model X in Ottawa. It’s a tough install but incarelectrics.ca did an amazing job. Took the two installers a total of 5 hours but you’d never know they were there. Everything is clean, no evidence showing anywhere and the dashcams...

    Check Luxus Detailing on Youville Drive in Orleans. Did my X and my wife’s 3. Great work at a good price.

    Ottawa Model 3

    Can someone living in the Kanata area check out the northeast corner of the Hazeldean Mall? It’s bordered by Hazeldean Road and Eagleson Road. Please go after 6:30 p.m. so we can determine how busy it is for a meet-and-greet.

    Inaugural meeting of Ottawa Tesla owners showing off their beautiful Model 3s. Thanks to everyone who came. It was a lot of fun meeting everyone and exchanging useful information. Video to follow if I can get it uploaded.

    Congrats. I’ve been to the Montreal SC twice. Easy to get there. Excellent staff and service. Why travel to Toronto?

    Ottawa Model 3

    I suggest you contact the Montreal SC. They will likely have the information on file but I’m not sure they will initiate the call.

    Ottawa Model 3

    Just picked up our Model 3 from detailing: GTechniq Crysral Serum (7-year guarantee) and 3M Scotchguard Pro (10-year guarantee). Like my X, this one is spectacular. Impeccable work by someone who really knows his stuff and cares about your car. Highly recommended: Luxus Auto Detailing, 1455...

    Ottawa Model 3

    Ottawa Tesla Owners: now that most of us have received our 3, I would like to suggest an informal “Show and Tell” or “Meet and Greet” on Tuesday, June 19th with Thursday, June 21st as a rain date if the 19th is bad. I suggest the southwest corner of the parking lot at the Place d’Orleans...

    Ottawa Model 3

    Let’s give everyone a couple of weeks to get their cars coated, wrapped, etc. Maybe some evening in the Place d’Orleans parking lot next to the new RBC building.

    Kan_03, I’m also in Orleans. We should do an Orleans meet-up some time. I’ll bring my X too.

    International Centre delivery experiences

    For those still waiting a final price, use these numbers to get very close to the actual cost: Delivery $1,300 AC tax $100 Tire tax $14.20 OMVIC (?) $10.00 You will have add plating and sticker costs (sorry, don’t know those numbers).

    Go for it! In a few months, it’ll be an old memory.

    International Centre

    Thanks. The 3 is for my wife; I have an X (I love it!). We are very fortunate.

    International Centre

    The issue for me is I’m disabled. I can walk about 100 meters slowly but that’s about it. So Hall 4 or Hall 6 is important for me to know. Tony_YYZ, you’re on the 5th; let me know where you went and that’s where I’ll go on the 6th.

    Ottawa Model 3

    Based on forum posts, I’d say millions but a Tesla employee told me over 1,000 Model 3 orders are from Ottawa. We’re going to need a BIG parking lot for our meet ‘n greet.

    Supercharger access immediately after delivery

    Agree but up to a point. Model 3 range is 499 kms. Pickering to Orleans is about 428 kms. Using AC and other stuff will deplete your reserve. My suggestion: short charge in Pickering then off to Kingston (227 kms,) for top-up charge and relaxed dinner.
  39. Rik59

    Ottawa Model 3

    Good plan. Make sure you have enough charge on delivery to get to Kingston. Always give yourself a buffer (I suggest ~75 kms.) you can easily stop in Port Hope or Belleville (if it’s up and running) for a quick splash of electrons. I’m picking up at 1:15 so we might see you at the Kingston...

    Ottawa Model 3

    Looks like all of Ottawa will be at the International Centre on June 6th. I’m at 1:15. Luckily I was able to use my credit card points to book a flight for my grandson and me. He’s my co-pilot on the trip back. Unfortunately, feeding him is the most expensive part of the trip.

    VIN Assigned!

    I just discovered my VIN 30*** via the checkout method but I would like to know the full VIN code for the insurance people. I have seen one posted but I would ask someone to post their VIN (2018 Model 3) in full, except for the last 6 digits.
  42. Rik59

    Ottawa Model 3

    Supercharger system should be set up. Confirm with your DS. I’m planning on charging in Port Hope for a quick charge then maybe Kingston for dinner & charge. Remember that you will use up more energy that just the driving range. AC and other things also use energy, so don’t cut it too close. I...

    Model 3 Canada - Confirmed Orders Only thread

    Don’t really want to tempt getting an HPWC ‘cause I already have one! Wouldn’t want to accidentally order another one. In any event, since March 2016, I’ve learned all about patience. When did you order? My order was on April 28.

    Supercharger - Belleville, ON

    Let’s hope so. I’m driving back to Ottawa on June 6th; would be the perfect place to stop.

    No VIN but I have a date: June 6th in Toronto. Can’t believe we can go vote and drive there in our Model 3.

    When did you order?

    No guarantee but 1) keep the plate on the front dash in plain view, 2) keep a copy of the order confirmation in the car.

    Software Update 2018.18

    With Tesla now selling three different models, with three more on the way, and the software for Model 3 still in progress, is it not time to identify software upgrades by their designated target - Fleet, Roadster, Semi, Model S, Model X, Model 3 and Model Y?

    Not getting software updates

    You may have a car problem. Tesla diagnosed a faulty door sensor that aborted updates. Once they replaced it, I got 15 updates! Ask them to check your car remotely.
